      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Folks from our local office trimmed our trees in December 2022. We gave the foreman a check in full payment that day. We then received invoices for the full amount from a P.O. Box address in ********, and the check we gave the foreman was not cashed. We contacted the local office, and they said that the check must have been lost, so in February 2023 we stopped payment on the missing check ($31 bank fee), and mailed another check. More invoices, new check was not cashed, so in April we paid another $31 to cancel that one, and I spoke to someone in the local office. She said they did not process payments locally but rather were required to forward them to the *********** office, that they'd had many issues with checks going missing, and that they would deduct the stop-check fees from our balance. I gave her my credit card number, and she charged me the full balance minus the $62 in fees. On June 12, I received a past-due invoice for $62. I contacted the same representative, who said she thought the "remaining" balance had been removed, and that she would follow up with the accounting department. I received another past-due invoice for $62 today. I do not believe Bartlett has any interest in resolving this problem.

      I’m puzzled and disappointed by the experience I’ve just encountered by Bartlett. I wasn't quoted before working with them even after asking twice and now I am dealing with a nearly $3,000 bill after the fact. If I had known taking down one limb (I handled the disposal of it myself) as well as taking advantage of having the special equipment to remove another limb would cost this much, I would have evaluated the situation differently. Never trust that Bartlett will do the right thing. Demand they provide a quote before the work begins otherwise they will treat you like a blank check and take advantage of you.
