    Two deposits were paid to this company for a privacy fence, once deposit in February 2022 and second deposit June 2022 at this time the company claimed the second deposit was for obtaining permits I contacted the ************************ and they obtained permit however they have yet to install my fence or give me a date in which it would be installed. I have all text and email correspondence of all my attempts to contact them and them just giving me the run around. I have asked for my deposit be returned numerous times and all they tell me is that they are working really hard and keep promising me I will be next up for installation. At this point I would like my money back so I can seek a more reputable company.

    Contracted with CIS to install chain link fence back in December 2021 (initial DP was $425) then we were tapped or a second installment May 2022 ($700) which as I understand was to cover city permit which they applied for in March 2022 and now expired on 09/26/22. Original sells person was **** and since we started with the company, maintaining communications has been a issue; meaning we'd call and for long periods no call back. Our project contact person is *************************** **************. We are now in 2023 and still no fence installed. My wife (*****) was told the expected date range to now be mid January and since today is January 17th we decided to file based on Mr. ******* indicating a good amount of the funds already provided wouldn't be returned. This is unexceptable. Please help and thank you in advance.

    ********************** fence was built on February 7 and inspection passed on March 3rd after permit was renewed. Client has paid in full and I was never aware of this complaint.

    Contract signing date February 3 2022 what the business promised to provide you Cancel the contract without returning the initial payment what is the nature of the dispute non-compliance, delay 8 month and 3 weeks, lack of seriousness, not keeping me well informed, and negligence with the city to obtain the permits whether or not the business has attempted to resolve the problem Not only does it offer to cancel the contract without returning the initial payment

    This person is aggresive and factually incorrect about the status of his permit. Today he decided to threaten my personal safety so I cancelled all his work. I opened a police report and will not be working for this animal. I have all my records straight and he is coming here to try and harm our reputation because he knows he can't pursue legal action against us.

    I will not continue any business with him and will NOT be returning his deposit per the terms and conditions HE sidned and agreed to. I dont care how many reports to BBB he places. If receiving actual threays to my safety is not a reason to cancel a contract, then nothing is.

    Good grief.
