Victim of Bad Business Practices

Update by user Aug 09, 2013 It looks like the go by C & D's Handyman Service on Angie's List. All of their emails to me are signature blocked as C & D Handyman Services. I am sure they are not affiliated with the nationwide company using the same business name. Update by user Aug 09, 2013 This C & D Handyman Services is the same one on Angie's List using the name C & D's Handyman Services in Pittsford, NY. Original review posted by user Aug 09, 2013 On June 9th I hired a handyman through the local Penny Saver to perform a number of repairs on my rental house. I paid this individual in "good faith" $150.00 approximately 10% of work to be done. We shook hands and he said," I guess by accepting this money I have committed to doing the work for you". Because of his "busy" schedule he could not begin the list until the 27th. It was the 29th when he finally showed up. Since my tenants had moved in early the 28th he said he could not do the work he committed to. I had left him a voice mail that the tenants, a mother and three boys had moved in early. However, he had a planned one full day without any persons inside the house. So the tenants then agreed to have him work around them. He said that I "screwed up" letting the tenants in early and therefore his effort to do the work was time wasted and he was keeping the $150.00 as an inconvenience charge. He also has not returned the house key back to me which I have asked for at least 3 emails. I just get no responses asking for the keys whereabouts. Originally, he said he sent it to the tenants but they have not seen the key. I am currently preparing a complaint file for the New York State Attorney General's office. I do not intend to let this fiasco end quietly. It is a perfect example of what happens when someone becomes the victim of bad/poor business practices.
