              On 5 Aug. 2022, I signed a contract with **** ***** LLC with address at ** *** ***** ************* *** *****, for a ************ **** ***********" at my residence at **** ** ******* ***** ** ****** ***** ** *****. The contract was signed by **** ***** ********* ** *** ********
              The contract was based on three specific estimates given by *** **** of **** ***** who explained our options upon inspecting our basement. We chose to have the cinderblock wall replacement option as outlined in the contract. The bid cost was given at $40,000.00. According to the stipulations of the contract, before work was to commence **** ***** requested 50% of the Total Contract Amount up front. The final payment was due upon completion of the contract. On 15 August, 2022, two cashier checks were given to **** **** totaling $20,000 representing 50% of the total contract amount [contract is on pgs. 19-23]
              The same week when payment was given, a contractor hired by *** ****, **** ******* ** ******** ********** Repair, Inc, located at **** ****** ***** ** ***** ** ******, began work along the south side of the house. A crew of men began hand digging trenches to expose the foundation walls. While performing this job a Kansas City Missouri building inspector had noticed the work being performed and asked the workers to see the construction permit for the job. Since no permit had been issued the inspector ordered the men to immediately stop wor*****
              Noticing the workers had left the job site, we called **** **** to find out when work was going to recommence. **** explained they were caught without a permit and was ordered by the City of Kansas City, Missouri to immediately stop work and apply for a permit. At no time did **** **** or *** **** explain to us a permit was needing. On the contrary, the Kings explained they perform most of their work without permits throughout the city. This was just a ****er of circumstances in which a city inspector happened to notice the digging and asked for a permit. My wife and I are not licensed contractors therefore we are not qualified to obtain a permit ourselves.
              The following week Mr. ******* sent a crew of men to remove sheet rock walls in our basement in order to expose and make accessible for demolition the concrete cinder blocks behind the sheet rock. The sheet rock debris was left inside our basement.
              For nearly three months from August until 8 Nov. 2022 we waited for a permit to be issued to **** ***** for the construction project. We were to discover many important details concerning the process in obtaining the permit. According to **** *******, the permit had to be submitted by a licensed contractor and consisted of a general construction permit as well as engineer drawings specifying the materials and construction process to fulfill certain codes of compliance. Mr. ******* explained to my wife and I, *** **** nor **** **** were licensed contractors and were disqualified to apply for a permit. *** **** has insisted from the beginning and throughout our conversations he is a licensed contractor and **** ******* was doing him a favor.
              Mr. ******* came to our house to take measurements of our basement and took pictures of architectural renderings we had of our house in order to create engineering drawings for the permit. Mr. ******* notified us directly Mr. **** did not have a contractor license and the permit was going to be filed under Mr. ******'s name. At this time Mr. ******* notified us he would not be the contractor on our job since Mr. **** owed him a substantial amount of money and even had a lean on Mr. King's equipment. Mr. ******* explained Mr. **** had subcontracted many of **** ***** jobs with Mr. *******, but over time Mr. **** had accumulated a sizable debt with Mr. *******. By November Mr. ******* explained to me he was not ta**** any additional work with Mr. **** due to **** ***** sizable debt owed him from previous jobs with Mr. ***** Mr. ******* was willing to take out the permit for our construction job, yet his sole responsibility was to
              2 of 23
              only check on the progress of the construction to make sure the job was being completed according to the permit. He was unsure who Mr. **** was going to use to complete our project. As far as my understanding Mr. ******* is not a business partner with Mr. King, he owns his own construction business and only subcontracts work for Mr. *****
              Mr. ******* also explained the State of Missouri required he set up a business entity in the state in order to submit a permit. We were told this required going to Jefferson City, Missouri to complete this step of the process as his business was located in Kansas.
              Soon after the permit was issued, **** **** advised me on the phone they needed approximately $1,200 dollars to cover the expenses of obtaining the permit. The contract does stipulate permits were exclusions in the contract and was the householder's financial responsibility. I personally called Mr. ******* to confirm the cost of the permit and architectural drawings. Mr. ******* explained the $1,2000 dollars was the amount he had invoiced Mr. **** which included his expenses to drive to Jefferson City to create a business entity. After confirming the costs of the actual permit and drawings we submitted a payment to **** ***** for a total of $872.54 dollars dated 8 Nov. 2022 minus the costs of the business entity. [*** ***** ***** *****] The permit was issued under Mr. ******'s name and business entity and under his contractor's licens* ***********. Mr. ******* hired ****** *********** to produce the architectural drawings and were submitted to the Kansas City Missouri Planning and Development department
