RESPONSE to Merchant:
First of all, this is not a story, stories are false, this is fact.
Secondly, I have proven to you three times what my outstanding balance is and yet you just can't seem to prove otherwise. You agreed to a settlement and will not pay it out. If my outstanding balance was the amount you say it was, why have you not come after your money? The attempted chargeback you received on 9/4/2011 (which you have yet to provide to me), was not for the first payment, it was for the second payment made on 6/5/11. There was no attempt to dispute the first payment made on 3/20/11.
Thirdly, my final correspondence didn't say a just a few wrinkles, if it was just a few wrinkles, I wouldn't have complained. The liner was super stretched out from being out of the pool so many times therefore it caused many wrinkles. There were also divots by the pressure plates from the sand not being properly packed underneath. Since the pool was not put up properly to begin with the pressure put scratches on the wall that were deep enough to reveal the steel underneath. Everyone knows that steel plus salt = rust.
Since Wind, Surf and Sail refuses to prove to me that they did not receive the funds back from their merchant, we will just let a judge decide.
Court Update:
Went to court on Dec 2, 2013. Met with judge as we could not reach an agreement thru mediation. Judge heard both sides and decided in my favor for a lesser settlement, but still a win. I caution anyone that decides to work this company for a pool install, to get EVERYTHING in writing.
"Dear Angie’s List Member I appreciate the time you took in writing such a long and detailed story. Our records indicate that you have a principle balance of $4,015.21 due on your account with non-payment finance charges starting from January 2012 to date of $ making the total amount receivable of $ to date. As far as the amount you disputed, we have copies of the “Charge Back” confirmation from our Merchant Services dated 10/06/2011 for the amount of -$2314.61 being refunded to your credit card. We also have the record from 9/4/2011 regarding your attempt to “Charge Back” your first payment of the same amount that your credit card company refused to charge back to you, this may be the one that you believe we got back but in fact it was never “Charged Back” to begin with, it was just never approved by your Credit Card Provider. Our payments from you are as follows as of 10/1/13: Total Contract Amount = $6943.82 1. Deposit $614 2. Payment $2314.61 on 3/20/11 3. Payment $2314.61 on 6/5/11 Total of Payments made = $5243.22 Amount disputed and charged back = -$2314.61 Total amount received as of 10/1/13 = $2928.61 Leaving the amount of $4015.21 still owed as described above (with no finance charges). In not one of your complaints or emails have you mentioned the amount you still owe. Since January of 2012 when Paul was hired he has never heard from you in any matter regarding a complaint about your pool until September of 2013 almost 21months. We understand that you were unhappy with the initial install but when we sent out a crew to fix the issues you had described, you stated in an email on 8/26/11, “I just wanted to let you know that the guys that are here right now are great. They are keeping me informed and answering any questions that I have.” After that email there was only one more correspondence regarding a few wrinkles in your liner, unfortunately wrinkles in liners are like cracks in concrete, they are inevitable, when we install a liner we do everything we can to make sure there are no wrinkles but some can appear a day later depending on the ground moisture. Wind Surf & Sail will be willing to waive the remaining debt on the customers account, making the only item paid for is the materials(pool)."
