    Status:
    Answered
    I went to Evangeline Home Center to purchase a mobile home with the assistance of the ********* ******* ******** Modification or special items that I was told I could get in the home was not there when I did a walk through. The company ordered the home without checking with the builder to see if certain modifications can be done. Per the salesperson, she stated that she did not check with the builder before ordering the home. The salesperson stated that if "I" buy certain items that they could put it in. This left a bad impression on me considering the amount I was financing. They want me to let them remodel a whole NEW mobile home which could mess up the structural integrity of the home. Afterwards, they said I could start the process over and get another. I went down there thinking I was starting the process over but got bombarded with the same issue of modifying the other mobile home. I have repeatedly told them I do not want to deal with this company going forth. All I want is my deposit back. Since then, I have been getting harassing phone calls from multiple people about the same issue. They claim they can't sell that home and refuse to let me deal with another company. They are faulting me for the mistake made by their salesperson. Their harassment and stall tactics has been going on for about 3 months now and I keep telling them the same thing, "I do not want to deal with them". My last conversation with the owner was on 1/2/24 and I told him the same thing I have been telling him and others for months now, No. Now, I have been threatened with the fact that I could lose this free grant money through ******* and I should contact them. They claim that they can't sell the other home because it was a special order but continuously harass me to get something new which would still leave them to sell the other one. I don't want to resort to negative publicity, but what choice do I have. I uploaded the letter to ******* explaining the my issues at their request.

    I do NOT recommend buying a home from ***** * *****/Evangeline Home Center. I purchased a Cappaert home March of 2022. Prior to purchasing, I pointed several flaws out to the salesman, who reassured me that these would either resolve once the home was level or would be fixed through the "punch list" process. The day the home was delivered, I contacted the salesman (Charlie) and the service manager (Tammie) regarding my main concern of the back door not shutting or locking, and randomly popping open. I was reassured that this would be fixed. Months went by & I made numerous attempts to receive an update for the time frame for this repair. I either did not receive a response or was falsely reassured. We had additional issues arise as plumbing and electrical were connected. We had leaks under and in the home. I called for emergency service both times, which I did not receive. I was instructed to crawl under the home and cut the "under belly" while I was roughly 6-7 months pregnant. I had to coordinate these emergent repairs myself, which were manufacturing flaws. After that, I noticed a burning smell in my infant's room, as the hot water heater is in the closet. The wires to the hot water heater were connected with the wrong cap, causing a short. The wires were melting & creating a fire hazard. I called for emergency service. I was brushed off, & I had to seek repairs myself. I had to go without hot water with an infant, in December. This is just to name a FEW of my complaints/concerns. April 2023, after one year of living in a home with a door that did not stay shut nor lock, a contractor FINALLY came to replace the door. The door still does not shut & also does not match the home. In this time frame, the manufacturer (Cappaert) went bankrupt. Now, even though I have been in constant contact with the dealer & manufacturer, at least monthly, for over a year, my "punch list"/repairs are not being honored. I have never been so dissatisfied or received such poor service.
