      Complaint Type:
      Order Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      ********************* of PALADIN sent two people to get us to sign a contract to help fight my 85 year old fathers Fire Insurance Claim. After we fired him for poor behavior and performance he violently and viciously attacked and berated us:1- ***** Called the building department to stop our restoration efforts.2- *************** our insurance company we were submitting fraudulent claims.3- ***** Used EXTORTION to take more money before he would release us from the contract.4- ***** Sent us Fraudulent Bogus Invoices to try to collect extra moneys in the amount of $1600.63 Attached doc1, the original contract for 10% of the fire claim. We were assured in person by ********************* there were no other fees associated with this contract and this fraudulent invoice was only created after we involved our lawyer to try to resolve the issue. Attached doc2, the fraudulent invoice he worked out after we hired a lawyer to ask him to please release the contract. NOTE We paid the 10% IN FULL, this was after that when he refused to release the contract which affected our relationship with our Insurance company, ******************** In emails, he agreed to take $800 so we could move on. Attached doc3, **** for our Attorney $852.82 Final release contract dated Jan 19, 2023 which was the Extortion monies we had to pay to be released. Also note that ********************* of Paladin put everything in email so all these allegations can be proven as facts. We paid Paladin over $8000 thousand dollars, $800 of which was Fraudulent and not part of our contract. This cost us an additional $852.82 for Attorney fees. Since Paladin was spiteful in not releasing our contract until he was given more money for nothing, we also demand the Attorney fees be returned. Total owed us to settle this complaint is $1652.82
