Description

A service person came to my house. They disassembled my washer. Told me that they could fix it yet it would require a new Water assembly. They said they would order the part and return in 4 days to fix it. He said that he needed a deposit of $170.00 for the parts. I paid by check. On the 4th day which was Saturday they did not return. I phoned the phone number many times. Yet the phone just said mailbox is full no messages can be left. I sent an email. On 11/3/25 the following Monday, I phoned 703 289-0900 a person picked up the phone as I started to share that their repair person did not show up, the person said - that is not us. You have the wrong number. Yet I can see on my cell that I phoned the the number on the repair paperwork. I attempted to phone again. All calls are resulting in the phone. saying the mailbox is full. I reviewed my bank account. The check has been cashed. I asked the bank to file a complaint as well.
