....it did not go well! As per the threats that were issued by Ms. Fagan and her husband, I am no longer allowed to contact her, so I have no other option but to retain an attorney in order to get back the items that rightfully belong to me. UPDATE 11/1/11 : I see that Ms. Fagan has submitted a response to my complaint, which you can read below. She basically had the same response to a complaint I filed with the BBB....she continues to state that I just do not want to pay my bill. Actually that is far from true; I never told her I would not pay her; I simply asked for TIME to pay the very large bill and also possibly a settlement, given the multiple service issues. Ms. Fagan did agree to settle the bill for half the amount owed. As per her instructions, I went to the police station and waited, with her payment in hand, for her to show up with my things. After over 30 minutes and several calls from the officer, she failed to meet me as agreed and also ignored all the calls. To this day, she still has not returned my items. Keep in mind that one of these items is my son's only winter jacket....why would anyone punish an innocent child in this manner? She states that the issue will be resolved when i pay my bill...but the issue will actually be resolved only when she returns my items! I have already told her that I would gladly mail her a check upon receipt of my things. As for the other things she mentions....I find it ironic that she uses the word "slanderous" to describe my valid, verifiable consumer complaint. SLANDER is the exact term for what she did to me by posting private details about my home and personal life, true and untrue, on the internet, as well as discussing my finances with others. Lastly, nothing I complained about was outside her "scope of work"...just go read her website for details on what she claims she will do! For example, when pet sitting I believe it is her responsibility to WATCH THE DOGS, and to let them outside to relieve themselves. I should not have come home to be greeted by the odor of dog urine in my house. The fact that she states this has nothing to do with her, should be all the indication you need that she does not take responsibility for her actions. So why should I pay the full price for a job that was not done properly?
Description of Work: Kathryn Fagan Enterprises Inc is a company that does it all, supposedly.....which was initally a big help to me after my husband passed away suddenly in late 2008. This company worked for me since early 2009; the amount i spent since that time is probably much more than i indicated above; I just had to enter a number! They were a big help to me in organizing my house, which was an overwhelming task to me as I am also disabled. They also provided weekly cleaning services, and watched my home and dogs when I was called away. Over the years, there were instances where things were broken, damaged of missing, but there was always some excuse given so I accepted it because I really needed the help. The real problems happened in the summer of 2011 when substantial damage was done to my home while under the care of this company; for example they allowed my dogs to urinate all over my carpets and refused to pay the cleaning costs, they allowed costly landscaping to die because they failed to water or fix the sprinklers as instructed, their website claims that they will supervise the contractors they recommend, yet they did not supervise the painting of my house trim and my driveway was splattered with paint which I cannot afford to fix. In any case, I was planning to pay my bill but simply asked for TIME in which to pay the very large bill, as i am on a fixed income and my budget is very tight. I actually stopped using their services when i realized I could not afford to pay. Ms. Fagan, the owner of the business, refused to return my house keys along with other items in her possession which belong to me, unless I paid my bill in full. She continually sent me abusive emails and text messages, telling me i should be ashamed of myself , etc.....she had her husband call and threaten me in the middle of the night....and perhaps most outrageous of all, she posted false and incriminating comments on my own facebook page, betraying the "strict policy of privacy and confidentiality" she touts on her website. Because of her incessant demands for money, I sold my son's car so that I could pay her. She actually agreed to a settlement in writing by email, but on 3 separate occasions failed to comply with the terms she herself had set; I was prepared to give her money if she would only return my things, but she did not show up or even have the courtesy to indicate in advance that she would not be there. In fact on the final occasion, she wasted not only my time but the time of the nice BSO officer who was called in from her patrol to assist us, all at Ms. Fagan's request. When I returned from that non-meeting, I found an email from Ms Fagan telling me to never contact her again by any means. Would you believe that one of the items she refuses to return is my son's winter jacket? What kind of person keeps a jacket from a child? I believe her conduct has been very unprofessional to say the least.....I asked only for time to pay a large bill and this treatment was the result....after I had been a good client for a few years. It seems that it was truly all about money, as she was not even willing to work with me during difficult times.

Response from Kathryn Fagan Enterprises Inc
Why would you hire someone and keep them employed if you could not afford to pay for the services?? The only time I was ever paid ON TIME was when I stood there and waited for my check, otherwise there was a delay. As soon as the client pays the monies owed, the issue will be resolve. in fact, there were never any problems in almost 3 years of service until the client stopped paying the bill. That is why we were there for so long. I was told payment was in the mail. I foolishly trusted and the bill ammassed to $4000. I demanded payment and this is the result, slanderous, negative feedback. please pay monies owed for services rendered.there are accusations on this complaint that have nothing to do with me and are not in my scope of work, nor have they ever been. I am not sure why this client has decided to blame me for issues at her home. It is my impression she does not want to pay for the services already rendered. Kathryn Fagan-Owner/Operator
