[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 573600, member: 1514"] I was one of those poor schmucks who got taken by a miserable scam artist mobile home dealer. The week after they parked my completely paid for home on my land, the entire company went bankrupt and disappeared off the face of the earth! I assumed I was buying a home from a dealer who was buying my home from a reputable builder considering I was getting it custom built to my standards. Oh how wrong I was. I had to call them back two times and thankfully they were still there within that first week because they hadnt come to get their wheels yet and one was because they hadnt hooked up my AC unit and the second time was because they had hooked up my water line to the ice maker in the fridge and left it running which soaked all the floors in the house because the water to the house was turned on! The fridge wasnt plugged in. It went everywhere. All they did was mop it up and supposedly put fans in there to dry everything out. I think that is why all my floors are buckling. They should have replaced the subflooring. I was supposed to get a 3 ring binder with all the warranties on the house. I should have had a 1 year warranty on the flooring, a 1 year warranty on the AC, a 5 year warranty on the furnace, and a 10 year warranty on the roof. HAHAHA...let me prove that one. Number one I cant even prove when I bought the thing or who I bought it from. I cant prove they gave me warranties. I called Coleman about my furnace and they were astounded. That is when I found out about the warranty. I was told to send in my copy of the warranty and my heart sank. I had to tell them I never got one. I attempted to contact someone...anyone..to see if I could get help and the answer was no. I was simply taken. I am going to write to some like either Ellen or the Kitchen Cousins or someone on HGTV and see if someone will take pity on me. I have tried to go through all the local programs to get help for low income and disabled people but if you dont know someone you wont even get on the list. There are people down here who have been on the list and gotten repairs 4 or 5 times. Meanwhile others never can get on the list. All depends on who you know. My roof is awful. Everytime we have a bad storm, shingles fly off. I want to do it with tin. They wont fly off then. I dont want fancy. I dont need new furniture or all the bells and whistles. I just want something that works. I would like a deck that I can get up and down on easily and I would like a bathroom that would be easy for me to get in and out of. A kitchen that isnt falling apart would be nice and no carpet would be lovely. Other than that I would be thrilled. If someone would help me with that, I could afford to do the fence for the dog on my own. [/QUOTE]
