This is only helpful with legit businesses that are trying to stay in business.

We had "bad" plumbing done from a licensed/bonded company and it didnt help us at all.

If they're legally bonded then the money was in escrow and any damage would have been already paid for at the regulator. Are you saying you never got your money back for damage they did?

I think you're not understanding all the facts and it's not worth delving into it here. As I said, we brought in the state, attorneys, etc. All that was available to us was $600.

Also, the money does not stay in escrow indefinitely. If you find the damage 6 months after the fact, and the company is already out of business, you're not getting shit (or in our case, $600).

yea cause you didn't tell any facts originally.

You literally never said that.

But ok. No one claimed hiring a contractor was perfect.

Sorry, I may be getting threads confused.

Yeah, we brought in an attorney and went to the state "contractor board" (I can't remember what it's called). We also consulted with 1-2 attorneys.

It was just a shitty situation the company handled in the perfect way to strip profits while discarding liability.

I'd hunt down the guy who ran that company and keep shitting on his front porch.
