Deranged Hermit
Not cool & Pissed
Back in April, my family and i had a house fire. We chose a fire resoration contractor and, long story short, the company went under after about 40% of the repairs were made. Fortunately, they only got one draw from the bank as payment, and I'm confident they at least satisfied that. Here's the problems:
1. He sent a bill for the repairs done and they are about 20k more than what they are paid thus far.
2. The insurance company had been little help. 'We are in meetings about this. This is something we haven't dealt with before. Etc. Etc'.
3. The mortgage company is basically putting everything on the insurance company.
I'm not a contractor. I can recognize some of the line items that were done. Some I'm sceptical about. A lawyer isn't in the cards. I started a new career last year and, even though I'm guaranteed a much better salary after my schooling is complete next year, I'm making much less now. I just need to find out who might be able to help grease the wheels a bit. The insurance company is only paying for housing for a few more months and after that we'rescrewed.
