    Made down payment to Seventeen Pools for build and delivery of shipping container pool. Signed contract to build on July 4, 2022. Paid deposit of $****** with contract promise to deliver in about three(3) months. Kurt W*****, Seventeen Pools owner, has said pool is ready for delivery since September 2022.
    In emails on the following dates, Kurt said,
    9/27/2022, "just about ready to go here."
    9/29/2022, "Please let us know when you are ready for pool and we will deliver it."

    I replied that I was ready for delivery. He has since said several times the pool was ready but has yet to deliver.

    As per the attached building contract:
    Seventeen Pools have repeatedly failed to follow through with promises of sending me progress photos of the construction, and have failed outright in confirming a date of completion and delivery.
    Seventeen Pools has failed to assist in finding me a local installer in TX to install the pool when it arrives. Seventeen Pools have failed to complete construction on, and delivery of, the agreed upon pool within 3 months of the date we signed the "shop drawings" (July 11, 2022) as more than triple that time has now passed.

    I did finally receive a photo of the pool, January 10, 2023. The pool was built to the wrong drawings.

    Kurt, the owner of the company has been telling me that my pool is ready and on the way for 7 months. When in fact, I ordered a pool that was already made. I've called about 20 times and nobody returns my call and Kurt replies with a broad text saying that he will call back and never does.
    We paid over **K and they have not performed.
    This is my first step, and I will make sure to get my money back *** **** ****** ****** ***** ** ******* *****

    We have fully paid for a 20ft container pool from seventeen pools but have not received a pool from them. They have been telling me multiple time over the past 6 month that it is shipping but it never does. They keep blaming it on the shipping company. I have offered to pay extra if needed to get a different shipping company so that my pool can actually be shipped. Seven pools will not answer the phone and talk to me but so for they are at least responding to emails. It this point, I really don't know if the pool even exists that I paid for.

    nd the photo was just a snap-shot of the video. On September 12, 2022, Wittin sent a Bill of Lading file to us and requested that we fill out the consignee info AND sign the document. We confronted him that we have confirmed with the transportation company that the document shouldn’t be signed prior to delivery of the pool. ** **** *** **** ***** **** ******* **** * ***** ** *** ********** *** **** **** *** **** ********** ** *** ********** **** **** *** **** **** **** ******** *** ***** *** ***** ****** **** we requested that he disclose the actual location of the pool and we’d like to see the pool in person prior to making the last payment.

    We can appreciate the customers frustration with this but at this point in time the pool has been built and the funds have been invested in to the product, *** ******** ** ******* ******* **** * ****** ** ******** ******* ***** ** **** *** *** *** **** ****** *** ***  If the customer chooses to have a refund we will deduct all the work that has been put in to the product and refund what we can, If the customer chooses the pool can be sent to the customer as contracted and that is the result that we would like to see, Unfortunately we have been understaffed this year and that is why we are having some delays 

     

    Thank you

    Good Morning  

    As we have explained to the customer that her pool is ready to go and we have shown her photos of the pool. Once the pool is built and built to its completion there is no refunds on the product 

    If the customer would like to receive the pool please provide instructions 

    Thank you
