      I am writing to formally file a complaint against Davison Innovation. I am requesting a refund of at least 90% of the total amount I paid, which is $8,815. My payments to Davison Innovation began in 2019, with the final payment submitted in 2022.Throughout this period, I made numerous follow-up phone calls and sent several emails requesting updates on the progress of selling my idea. Unfortunately, these efforts have been met with little to no response, leaving me feeling hopeless and manipulated. The financial strain caused by the payments to Davison Innovation has been significant, adding considerable stress to my family. We had hoped to see a return on this investment, but instead, we have been left in a precarious situation.Initially, Davison Innovation was highly supportive and communicative during the payment process. However, once the final payment was made, I experienced considerable difficulty in contacting my assigned representative. This lack of communication became particularly challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic when jobs were being cut, and financial resources were depleted. My family and I had decided to pursue entrepreneurship, and it was during this time that I engaged with Davison Innovation.Each interaction with your team felt rushed and insincere, with no meaningful updates provided. The $8,815 I paid could have gone towards essential expenses such as mortgage payments, bills, and food for my children. I find it troubling that Davison Innovation would continue to accept payments without any intention or ability to bring my idea to *********** this point, I am no longer willing to continue requesting updates or waiting for Davison Innovation to bring my idea to fruition. I demand an immediate refund and am not interested in any further delays.
