Hello fellow Brickboarders,

I really hate having to do this, but times are tough and money is money and what he owes us would almost pay my rent at my apartment for a month.

Chasmataz came to our shop over a year ago and had us do some work to his 122 station wagon after he drove from the Great Lakes area to do some work somewhere in Southern California.

He needed more work than he could afford, but we went ahead with some repairs to his overdrive with the promise he would pay us.

Well that never happened and after he left, he stopped responding to our emails and we aren't going to Wisconsin or wherever he is to track him down to get him to pay us.

Chasmataz is trying to sell some parts via the classified ad here on the Brickboard and I would like your help in convincing him to respond to me.

I am even willing to trade for some parts if he has what we need, but he won't return my emails.

Thank you in advance for any help!!

    "He needed more work than he could afford, but we went ahead with some repairs to his overdrive"

    i was given an estimate of $500, the final bill came to well over a $1000. being 2000 miles from home i was unable to come up with the additional $500 and felt i had been taken advantage of being as far away as i was.
    this the first communication i have had from anyone concerning this and if this is an example of how to do business it's no wonder that someone is having a hard time paying their rent.
    there are numerous means of settling an outstanding debt without personal attacks in a public forum.
    as i said, this is the first i've heard of this in better than 5 years, not 1 year ago as originally stated. i'm open to negotiating a fair settlement based on my original estimate, but will not negotiate or discuss this any longer in a public forum.
    if running down your customers and doubling your estimates is how you run your business it's no wonder my "balance" is the difference in you being able to pay your rent or not.
    and to the rest of you that have already decided i'm the bad guy in this, i'm sorry you've experienced meeting so many jerks in your life that you immediately jump to such conclusions.
    eric; contact me privately, i will not do this in public.

    Hi Eric,
    This fellow is clearly a scumbag with absolutely no conscience or morals , In my experiences with similar people it became clear to me that I had been "Had" and there was no hope (or very little) of ever getting my money, sorry but you may as well write it off .

    Best regARDS,
    DAVE

      Hello Dave,

      You are probably right, but I was hoping to either inconvenience him or shame him into at least responding and your post is exactly what I need to help so thank you.

      Chasmataz recently placed an ad in the Brickboard classifieds and maybe someone can get through to him as he has already ignored my email regarding his ad.

        Maybe Chazmataz will give some consideration to these posts. After all, if he can so casually ignore a debt to someone who went out of the way to be helpful, how can someone looking for parts be confident of receiving paid for parts? -- Dave (not the other Dave)
