Phoenix, AZ 85007-2812To The Honorable Janice K. Brewer:
This letter is written to inform you that the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) is doing less and looking for ways to not perform their duties of protecting the public from bad contractors. We need your help to require the ROC to properly enforce our legal rights and prosecute the bad and dangerous contractors, Robert Freund (company owner) and Derrick King (qualifying party).
We filed two complaints on January 17, 2014, against Palmer’s Plumbing dba Ben Franklin Plumbing (ROC complaint #2014-250) and Palmer’s Kitchen, Bath, & Beyond (ROC complaint #2014-251). We received Complaint Dismissals dated June 30, 2014, stating that we violated the contractor’s rights to inspect our property and have the opportunity to repair the damages. A Police Report was filed on August 08, 2013, (#2013-151570) for telephone threats and refusal to return our house keys. MCSO Deputy Dias told us that we had the right to forbid them from our home under the CASTLE LAW because we were afraid for our lives. The ROC Inspector, Stephen Lawton, waived that contractor inspection and repair rights in order to protect us because of the threats and intentional criminal damage sabotage in our home (a crimped kitchen waterline).
Our ROC complaints have listed over 60 contractor problems and poor workmanship with pictures due to an under slab water leak and kitchen flood. This contractor mess has cost us nearly $14,000 in payments to the contractor and now he is suing us for an additional $3,800 plus legal fees (Lawsuit #2013-222467RC) even after when we cancelled the job on August 08, 2013, for BREACH OF CONTRACT. We have had to pay new contractors thousands of dollars to clean up the mess. This poor workmanship also exacerbated my wife’s transplanted liver rejection because the toxic mold cleanup was not correctly done.
We filed a complaint with the Arizona Attorney General on February 10, 2014 (AG Complaint #14-01841) for the following violations:
1. ARS 32-1151 – Not having a valid contractor’s license,
2. ARS 13-2002 – Submitting forged documents to the court,
3. ARS 32-1129.01 - Breach of contract,
4. ARS 13-1202 -Threatening and intimidating phone calls, and
5. ARS 13-1602 – Intentional criminal damage.We wrote the ROC on July 09, 2014, disputing its decision, and to date we have had no response. We listed that at least Six Citations should be issued in accordance to ARS 11-3254, which are violations of:
1. Section 7 – Contractor Committed Fraudulent Acts with court documentation forgeries, filing a baseless lawsuit, and hiring a qualifying party who has a criminal record,
2. Section 8 – Contractor Committed a Felony with threatening phone calls and intentional criminal damages,
3. Section 9 – Contractor made unapproved contract changes and failed to complete contracted work,
4. Section 12 - Contractor failed to follow safety laws by not containing the toxic mold cleanup and failed obtain the required Mold Remediation Certificate,
5. Section 17 – Contractor failed to have the proper license since he did not have a qualifying party at the time of our job,
6. Section 24 – The Contractor’s employee made several telephone threats and refused to return our house keys and alarm fob.Our contractor problems went beyond a contract dispute to a criminal matter with the telephone threats and suspected criminal damages of the electric lines to our water system being cut, motion detector lights being disabled, stalking, and the slashing and destroying of all our four automobile tires (two more Police Reports were filed - #2014-004271). We had to hire private police protection and install an expensive security camera system.
The Court approved Injunctions against Harassment on May 09, 2014, against Robert Freund (#CC2014-080145000) and Derrick King (#CC2014-080186000). Judge Gerald Williams stated: “Our criminal damages went to pattern because of the telephone threats and Derrick King’s violent criminal past.”
We find this ROC dismissal a TRAVISTY OF JUSTICE and need your help to get the ROC to properly do its job and enforce our rights, help us recover some of our losses from the Contractor Recovery Fund, and REVOKE Robert Freund’s contractor licenses.
The Public needs to be protected from these bad and dangerous contractors who use Elder Abuse and Fraud to run their home repair/remodeling contractor companies.
Sincerely,
Mark and Carol Fairall
