what did you say to me? Say it again you filthy transplant. Yeah i know your type. You probably have Connecticut plates and a Yankees sticker on your car. You brag about how close you live to Fenway Park, but then complain in the sub about how loud the concerts are. How about you and me meet in the parking lot of the 7-11 in Revere and settle this?

I’m pretty sure I just got threatened by a bot from the north shore.

This is a good idea. FYI OP, the BBB is not a real entity with any power to do anything. It’s essentially a marketing scam.

Try contacting these two 7 news emails - I watch the morning local news and they often will investigate and cover stories like this and get people's money back. Worth a shot?

Attorney going to cost you more than 7k, go after for the 5k in small court.

Not to say he isn't ripping you off, but 4 months really isn't that long a wait these days. I waited six months after deposit just for a tiled shower install. My friends doing a kitchen reno now have a six month expected start date. Is he at least communicating with you?
It's a hard fucking time to be hiring contractors.

It was quite some time ago but I have done this as well. OP: talk to the AG, talk to your local DA, and talk to your local PD.
Was $7K the price of the whole job or just a deposit?
Sorry that you're going through this. :/

Get a police report before that. It will speed up the process. Otherwise, they'll just tell you to get a police report first.

This is too much for reddit. Contact an attorney. I think you have 93A complaint, but I am not a lawyer.

OP gave this guy more than 7k, but didn't specify how much the down payment was

OP paid more than 7k, it's too much for small claims court

I made the mistake once (which I alluded to in another post) of paying for a job up front. Won't make that mistake again..
