Client debt service; 4th. quarter 2009

In an attempt to overcome inertia and to generate past due income, I am blogging this afternoon about a group of people – my former clients – some you may know; some you may not know. The first person is Randall Mattison, a property owner who took it upon himself to sucker me to a lunch in Jenkintown and then leave me with the bill as he hastily made his exit and then changed the locks on the contracted property, stealing my tools and equipment and a variety of raw materials. As a law-abiding citizen, I did go to the 14th. District and filed a criminal complaint. To date, nothing has been done as I also was advised that I should go to the Wynnecote police station and then go to Randall’s home to serve him. I turned this one over to my attorney to file a civil suit against this deadbeat client who owes me money and has stolen items from me.

The next client is a woman named Marianne Brown who is a greedy woman and filed a civil suit against a handful of entities and also owes me substantial money – approximately $35,000.00. She also has an LLC – El Salvador, LLC and was a participant in Real Estate Riches, a bullshit opertaion that suckers first-time RE investors with a seminar and then wholesales neglected properties to these newly informed RE “bigshots.” These properties could not and would not sell in an “open market.”

Then, we have Joe Bellomo and Chris Graci, also former clients and using an LLC, OMEGA PROPERTY INVESTMENTS, who never served notice and simply changed locks on contracted properties with my materials and tools on-site and with an outstanding balance due to me of an amount less than $6,000.00 and an outstanding debt to NEW DEAL LUMBER & MILLWORK for approximately $18,000.00 for replaced items and materials from thefts on-site at N. 48th. Street. Like Randall Mattison, these clowns were under-insured and failed to file claims against these losses and my corporation covered these expesnes in good faith. In fact, Randall’s policy expired in August, 2008, and he was under contract through January, 2009. These contract breaches take time to introduce to the civil courts and cost me more money to seek that which is due to me.

What I have come to learn is a simple axiom – NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.

Finally, there remains one asshole named William J. Klotz, Jr. who owes me in excess of $50,000.00 for his support over the course of TY2009 and carried an outstanding debt from TY2008. In his audacity, he asked me to stand as his newborn son’s Godfather. He now faces 4 years probation and restitution and fines for a previous action against a property owner whose property I insured as a gesture of goodwill. Again, NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.

Although I have spoken numerous times with the Montgomery County ADA, all I have experienced to date is lip service and the advice that these are civil matters for my corporation. Obviously, to me, this is bullshit and I am out thousands of dollars and have little recourse beyond civil courts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, public blogging and in-depth discussions with my attorneys.

NONE OF THIS PUTS MONEY INTO MY POCKETS. Perhaps this is an exercise is masturbation; perhaps not.

Let’s see who is paying attention and who tries to sue me for these words – all of which are true.

At the very least, this serves to appease me and to entertain me and to add more words to my blog, in case anyone of these former clients happens to “Google” or “Yahoo” or “Bing” me and find out that I am publicly writing about the past 18 months’ bullshit!

Please have a nice day! I am.
