    Adding flyer given to me by my neighbor for the business Powell and Sons***************** Tree Service a concerning amount of $10,000 for the removal of her trees exceeding 20 feet in height. This raises concerns about potential predatory pricing, particularly given ****************************** lack of proper equipment. They relied solely on a single worker climbing the trees for removal without protective gear, which was haphazard and unsafe. Despite promising to remove the fallen branch from my tree on Friday, June 7th I have little faith in their ability to follow through based on their previous behavior. When I contacted them about removing the cut tree from my tree, they hung up on me. The continued presence of this large tree stuck on my tree on my property poses a safety risk, especially with family members will be visiting soon.Request for Resolution: I request the BBB's assistance in ensuring ****************************** Tree Service removes the debris from my property promptly and professionally this week, or I will be taking this to the Illinois State's Attorney.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

    I would like to report that *** ****** has failed to produce an itemized statement for the roof repair for $1000.  We discussed he would bring it here and leave in mailbox.  He failed to do so, even after a reminder I sent via text that my insurance adjuster would be coming soon and I needed it for my claim.  I have now disputed the $1000 charge as he has not performed professionally and I believe he has to pay for that.  I requested ********** to now add the $1000 to my ongoing dispute for breaking business standards.  I further have asked that he be charged criminally for the credit card ($100)charge he tried to take, made an unjust charge for roof repair ($1000) , and charges related to crimes against senior citizens: attempt to defraud, charging for work not completed and, most importantly, penalized for creating this nightmare that has not stopped

     

     

    n my property & grew more enraged. I said I will be needing that itemization to complete my insurance claim & that I had included my address in the text. Told him to provide that paperwork and that our business together was over and ended the call.
    This exchange took place on 7/26/23 and reported to ************ Fraud center. Have not gotten the statement or heard anything further from him. I would like to have him charged w/ attempted theft and assorted crimes against senior citizens, as I have grown somewhat afraid since his threatening tone during the call. He operates out of Hannibal MO & I am located in Springfield IL, so I am grateful there** distance between us, but will not be secure until I receive the invoice and know that he has been appropriately disciplined for his transgression.
