I am not an attorney but if it can be proven that they were doing this as a habitual business practice then I don't see how an attorney general wouldn't step in.

Even the patent troll companies are under fire over their practices and patent laws have way more protection than anything else.

Are you drunk? Everything I have stated is way more coherent and articulate than the BS you have spewed.

Well that’s a bad take. Litigation and demand letters is always a poker game. I’ve seen instances where you have repetitive claimants that sue contractors every time they hire and have a build. You can’t use that in court against them.

I didn’t read your drivel to other posters. Just your weak take against my post.

An attorney general would be all over this IMO

I would return letters threatening filing with BBB and other entities


The BBB

Tell me you don't know shite without telling me you don't know shite.

The BBB has zero power to do anything. No one cares about the BBB except old people. The BBB is a private entity and can't enforce shite. They fool idiots with the Bureau part of their name and members literally pay money to keep negative reviews hidden. Might as well tell them you are going to leave a bad yelp review while you are at it.

If you want to ever get a companies attention file a complaint with the state AG for unfair business practices.

What? Have a build? What are you trying to say, Chad?

They are strong arming you for the purpose of making up for someone's lazy arse who did the lack of due diligence. If you can find a lawyer that tells you that you are clear then send them a threatening letter demanding your legal costs.

The are saying you had water intrusion but they will have to prove that.

Chad thinks a business can troll people by sending hundreds of demand letters as part of their ongoing business plan and not draw the ire of a state AG

That is about 40% of my job.

I know you said you are not a lawyer but FRCP 11 applies to documents submitted to the Court, not some amorphous demand letter.

To the OP get council and STFU. Not necessarily in that order.

Nah

I just hate it when people get bad advice if they are in need of help. If I can share some experience and I am confident enough based on my years of doing something then I will help. Being sued sucks and I have been sued for something similar to the OP so just sharing what I know.

It would be the same if someone needed advice on being a cuck and you came along and saw everyone got it wrong. You would feel obligated to correct everyone based on your experience.

"As is" means just that.

I'd tell the fricking flippers, that are driving up prices everywhere, to GFY.

Back on topic please. Do you have any photos of before or after?

Here are a few that I've taken as I work. Water damage can be hard to trace. Sometimes it has to be raining in order to find it.



This one was easy to find

I didn't find this one till it was raining.

If you are a handyman, you should look into investing into a thermal imaging moisture meter. It will pay for itself in time saved, jobs landed, reduced liability, etc

You can get stand-alone scanners or ones that connect to your phone. FLIR is the brand I use.

Yes indeed. It's almost an essential tool these days. Just to make this topic somewhat readable.
