He said it was too late in the season to start but that I would be his 1st job come April 2015. I agreed. He said he would only hold the deposit check but not cash it till he started the job ? come to find out, the check was cashed within 2 weeks of him receiving it. About the 3rd week in April, 2015 I contacted Mr. Korkut asking when I should expect my project to commence. He told me he was stuck on a large job out of state but would get to my roof immediately following the completion of that job. For over one year now Mr. Korkut has presented one excuse after another as to why he cannot get to my roof. I have made clear that all I wanted was the work done but said that if he cannot honor the contract to please return my deposit of $6,000.00. As a refund Mr. Korkut sent me a photograph of a check made out to me and an envelope addressed to me. The check has been mailed I was told. The check purportedly was mailed over a week ago from 2 towns away? I have yet to receive the ?mailed? check. During this time I have received all other mail, including the rent checks mailed from my tenants; one of which currently is in Colorado driving long-haul. I asked the ?mailed? check be voided and offered to come personally and pick-up a real one. Mr. Korkut said he was not available for that. I contacted Consumer Protection and they advised me to file a complaint against him. I did. Mr. Korkut then contacted me and told me that due to my filing the complaint (after allowing him over a years? time to get the job done) he would have no further dealings with me. He did agree to return my $6,000.00 deposit. Last evening I again contacted my Korkut alerting him that I would be coming by in person to pick-up the return of my $6,000.00 deposit. Mr. Korkut stated that he was unavailable due to being out of state. I informed him that on my way into work I would stop by his home just to verify his statement to be true and speak to whoever was available. Mr. Korkut immediately texted back: now, suddenly he was back in CT and he could meet me at a particular address that never before appeared in any of our previous communication? I arrived early at the address he suggested and waited for an hour. Needless to say, Mr. Korkut was not present nor did he ever arrive at the time and place he told me to meet him. Conclusion: Over a year ago I gave Mr. Korkut a $6000.00 deposit and we signed a contract for work to be done on my roof starting in April, 2015. · I was told the check would not be cashed until the start of the job; the check was cashed within 2 weeks of my turning it over to Mr. Korkut. · The contracted work has not been done. · I have not received the return of my deposit. · My Korkut continues to avoid me and my requests for the refund. I have email, text messages the signed contract as well as the signed, cashed $6,000.00 deposit check and the Consumer Complaint that corroborate all that is stated above.
