Business ProfileforTop Notch Remodeling & Construction

I received this companies name after paying for the Home Advisor Pro service. I met with ******* and ****** at the remodel site and went through the property. They appeared knowledgable and detailed. We agreed to work together on a large rehab project I had. They sent me over two estimates and I agreed to them. I wrote them a check to their business name for $21,321.00 to cover the cost of getting started. They came back later that day stating their bank would not deposit a check over $20K and could I please write them two checks this time... one made out for $20K and the other made out for $1,321. I agreed to write them two seperate checks after they returned the original check. They picked up the checks and on 11/18/21 deposited those checks mobily into their accounts. The next evening I was informed that the check for $1,321 did not go through and the $20K originally deposited, but returned. They notified me of this and wanting me to write them two more checks for the same amount made out in their personal name. I told them I would go in and talk to my bank that Saturday morning 11/20/21 and see what was going on with this. I was very suspicious at this point since I knew I had plenty of money to cover the checks in the bank. I went into my bank and was told that the $20K came back because the check was wrote out to their company name; however, when he deposited it he endorsed it in his personal name. My bank refused it for this endorsement issue. After speaking with the person at my bank that spoke with *******, and being informed it all seemed fishy. I then refused to do further business with them and asked him to return the checks which he did. I just found out he the $1,321 did clear my bank on the 18th and he is refusing to give it back to me. He has several prior lawsuits for unscrupulous business practices.
