Peter Silverman Still Helps

This man is a hero.
I was pretty upset when he was axed from City News, the man is a Toronto institution !!!

Silverman won the Lifetime Achievement award on Friday night from the RTNDA. Congrats Peter!

Silverman was lucky in hindsight, considering what Shitty-TV has become.

I worked at an org that Silverman was involved with (not any of those mentioned) several years ago and from that experience I can say that Peter Silverman is a first class jerk. It's one thing to have the personality on TV but he seemed to think he was entitled to push anyone and everyone around every hour of the day. Lucky for him he was good at his job, otherwise his ass wouldn't have been tolerated by anyone.

I thank all those who wrote in response including the one who said I was a jerk, but did admit I was reasonably good at what I did.
That said I would like to know what organization I was involved with as a jerk

How do you get in contact with Peter Silverman?I have a huge problem with royal bank visa!

Evan if there is anyone els out there who has/is experiencing the same problem with these "energy companies" pls respond to this Tim_kyte@msn.com.
I heard someone on the radio speaking of this exact isssue with success unfortunatly I was at work not able to follow too closely!

Mr. Silverman:

I need your help on a dilemma. I have a client that sold her house, she was excited as you can imagine to take the cheque to the bank to cash it as she had obligations that had to be paid. She and her ex-husband had been with this bank for many years. After cashing HIS cheque, they wanted to hold HER bank draft for 5 days! Dejected, she decided to take it to a different bank. Upon her arrival she looked into her purse to hand the teller her draft, at which time it was gone! It had fallen out of her purse along with her bank card. When she went back onto the street her bank card was there but the cheque was gone! We have pleaded with the lawyer that distributed the cheque (the buyers lawyer), to stop payment and reissue, but he refuses to do so...he has gone so far as to even call the police on her when she went to his office to ask him for his assistance in stopping payment on the cheque. The bank is willing to stop payment, her lawyer is willing to help, but the buyers lawyer who distributed the cheque WILL NOT LIFT A FINGER. If he doesn't do anything she has to wait 2 yrs to see if anyone cashed it then fight with the bank after that time and hope to get her money then. She is a single Mom with 2 small children and the proceeds from the sale of her house was the only thing she had to live on, she has no job, no where to live and now is without that money which is quite substantial, as well. She will be out on the street soon with her 2 small children with no where to go. I and my partner have gone to the law society, pleaded with both lawyers, called the bank and we are exasperated. PLEASE HELP!

Wow, people are dumb.

Hi Mr. Silverman, I have heard good things about you, helping people in need, I can really use your help!! August 10th of 2009 at about 12:10 I went to my car a (2001 Acura Cl) to sit and have my lunch at work it was a very hot day, one of the hottest days of the year so I rolled my windows up and procceded to turn on my air conditioning in the car to cool myself down from the vary hot temperatures, about 2 minutes of sitting in my car I heard a loud shatter of glass that blew all over me, not knowing what had just happened as I turned around I had noticed my back window was shattered into millions of pieces. I was told the outside tempature and ac being on could have blown out my window, so I called Acura Canada and they said that they couldn't do anything about this matter, so my concern is that, if I were to have my kids in the car at the time this incident had accured when the GLASS blew out it would have been very dangerous for my kids sitting in the back seat, they could have been blinded by this glass or serousy injured, thank god I wansn't driving or someone could have been killed. So I asked Daniel at custumers service at Acura Ca. what he thought of that, so he replied that it wasn't a safety concern so they can't or will not do any thing about this. So, please Mr. Silverman can you help me out, what can I do I would like something done about the customer service of Acura I feel there should be a recall done on these windows for these cars. they have straight out told me that there would not be one, because I am the only one that this has happened recently. The warrenty on the car windows are only good for three years of the manufacure date. Please email me and let me know if you can help thank you in advance for reading this.

Does anyone know how to reach Peter Silverman by phone or email.

Need to contact him about an issure that involves many people where Ritchie's Auction sold their items in the June 7th sale and haven't been paid for them.

Ritchies do not answer their phone, there are articles in the paper that they have gone under and whoever has taken over is selling our stuff again at auction in September.

Can anyone help?

With many thanks,

Jocelyn Minton

Dear Mr Silverman; I use to watch you on TV and was amazed with how supportive you were to those who seeked your advice. I have a concerned matter that involves the Royal Bank and have sought legal advice but they are not thinking along the same line as myself; re what my argument entails. I received a letter dated May 4, 2006 from the Royal Bank stating that my Ex had been approved an increase to our credit line from $17,000.00 to $50,000.00 effective April 11, 2006. This had been without my knowledge as we were legally separated. Regardless of the fact that I had to pay half of the full amount of the $50,000.00; I feel I(joint owner of the account)was not treated fairly by the Royal Bank. I had been in touch with my own Branch at the time, where I was given a print out of the amount being deposited and withdrawn along with being told that it had been approved by one of their direct line agents. I contacted the Office of the Royal Bank Ombudsman by letter. A representative from that office called me and apologized for the error but nothing more could be done as the account had been paid off. Hmmm! How many other innocent people have they done this to and have gotten away with it? I have approached managers at Financial Institutions I deal with at present and they have told me it is unjust what they have done and that I should persue this matter. Due to the fact that they did not respect my rights as a client and I was held responsible for an increase that I was not properly and legally informed of; I am looking for a "just result" to conclude this matter.

Seeking your advice;

Dear Mr.Silverman:I am 66 year old retired man who is living at Ontario Housing,was married over a year ago and looking for a one bedroom apartment,because our bachelor is too small.I have applied to Housing Connection only to receive a letter today informing me that they had vacancy at Hellenic Home for the aged at 11 and 39 Winona,but to qualify I must be over 59 years of age and of Greek origin.Is Toronto now Greece or South Africa.I would like to know after living in Ontario over 39 years and worked,paid taxes,was also injured in an industrial accident in 1989.Can you please explain this to me.

Dear Mr. Silverman,

The story below is one that is all too familiar. I found this site (Redflagdeals.com - forum), that had quite a few comments on "Geo Holidays".

I did some research on "scams Geo Holiday" and came up with many people who had been taken advantage like my husband and I. We thought we were finished paying our 15 year old scam - and are now dealing with irate Geo Holiday representatives who claim we are in it for 30 years. Like many of the "victims", we were convinced that it was 15yrs. The pressure to sign was really overwhelming, and we were newly married thinking we had to sign - of course taking the contract to look over was not allowed ... it should of been a red flag.
I hope you would consider helping us and many others that are as far away as Vegas who have been trying to get a class suit against them. Many Torontonians, Southwestern Ontario residents are sure to come forward if they knew you would help us.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, Time Share Vic - Liz

We got a call from someone from Geo Holidays last week. This person
claimed
that we had won one of 4 free vacation packages to various locations in
the
world. He stated that every year his company chooses 4 lucky couples to
which are given free vacations. Instead of advertising on TV, radio,
billboards, etc.. he said they believed word of mouth advertisement is
what
they want. We would enjoy our vacation so much that we would happily
spread good word of mouth. (We are in Toronto, Canada by the way).

Being skeptical I asked what the catch was. I asked this guy, "what
will
you people try to sell me when I come there? is this in any way a
timeshare?". He assured me that there were no strings attached and that
nobody would try to sell me anything. We just have to go there and draw
for
the prize (but said we had to be there for approx. 90 mins).

If I hadn't of entered a draw for a vacation at a store earlier this year
I
probably wouldn't have gone at all.... but I didn't want to miss out if I
was mistaken. I also couldn't turn up anything bad for Geo Holidays when
searching on the internet....

Anyways, we drive to the place Saturday morning (our prearranged meeting
time)... and the sign outside on the building says "Fairfield Affiliate".
Interesting... the name Geo Holidays is seen nowhere (apparently they are
just a partner). Inside we were led to a room where we wait a while and
then every couple gets a salesperson sitting beside them to start talking
us
into buying this vacation crap. "All we ask is that you keep an open
mind.
When you get over the anger you have by how we got you all here, you will
be
happy. At the end you just need to say yes or no." Yeah, right. This
strange black guy from Tennessee comes in and start making a big
presentation trying to be funny and all. The audience felt so fixed with
the agents everywhere... they laughed on cue... clapped on cue... like
puppets. The poor people in the front row should have been wearing
raincoats since that speaker guy kept spitting when he talked. The whole
thing felts like something out of the Twilight Zone... it felt like one of
those cults where you are waiting to take your special pill so the
spaceship
will come and take us all away. Creepy...

The speaker goes on talking about points and a system called FairShare
(but
explaining that it is not timeshare). He goes on mentioning it will cost
us $1066 to go anywhere in the world each year... blah blah blah....

He finishes... and it is time for our little salesman to continue to try
to
talk us into it. He reminds us that we are guaranteed our free vacation
no
matter what happens. Out of curiousity I ask how much this actually
costs.
So... we go to a room with about 40 tables with paper and calculators on
them.

He slowly (and I emphasis slowly) explains everything to us. The total
cost for the package came out to about $40,000 something. The membership
is for 45 years. I'm thinking... these guys must be nuts!! And that is
just for the package itself... let alone the annual maintenance fees of
around $500. He does some calculations and says I will only have to pay
$900 per month to get this package. Yeah, right!! ha!! I told the guy
bluntly that there was no way he was going to get a "yes" out of
me.
He told me to wait while he got another representative to tell us about a
package he might not of heard about.

So... some lady who smelt like armpits came over and sat down with us.
She
offered us another package that was for about $15,600 with much less
included (of course). But she said today they had a special on it and
that
it was only $13,600. It came out to about $290 per month or something
plus
the extra $400 maintenance fees (they write a US$ figure to make it seem
smaller). I told her even if it was $20 per month we wouldn't say "yes".
After talking for another half hour she said she wanted to talk to her
boss
to see if there was anything else she could do. She comes back and says
there was a promotion on that she wasnt aware of and the price would
actually be $11,000. We still said "no". She made it seem that us
saying
"no" just boggled her mind.... like she couldn't comprehend how someone
could say "no"! She told us that she was in this program herself and
that
we would be fools not to join.

(Inbetween these discussions we are interrupted 3 times by people
announcing
who has just bought the package. "Quiet everyone. May we have your
attention. Mr. and Mrs. Smith all the way from Toronto have just signed
up
with us." <<Clapping>>. Again sounding so fixed and creepy. And when
we
are talking about the packages when this happens the armpit lady tells us
to
be quiet and listen.)

Still not understanding the answer no, my wife writes the letters "NO" on
a
piece of paper a dozen or so times, shows it to them, and tells them that
we
are leaving. They finally understand. They lead us to the prize office
and we draw our 3 days accommodation-only prize for Orlando, Florida.. and
we leave. At least we got something... but I won't fall for that again!!
These companies lure us in with deceit and lies...

I download tons of apps to my iPod touch, and they transfer to my dads computer when I sync it. When my dad syncs his iPhone, they get transferred to it. Now he wants do disable app downloading because he has to delete so many apps. How can I make it so iTunes doesn't sync all the apps I download to his phone?

I have a huge problem with Universal Power i too was locked into a contract, my bills for a small 2 bedroom bungalow are like 4,000.00, they adjust it and its 1300.00 estimates and actual readings. The people there are very rude and get upset at you for calling in, they said call an electrician to see where power is drawn, u must have wall heaters or electricity heating, and im telling them no we have all energy efficient appliances and are on gas....in the last 3-5 bills i have been charged over 6,000.00 if not more, this is impossible for 2 people in a small 2 bedroom bungalow.

Please HELP....any suggestions from anyone please email me at bettyrogato@sympatico.ca

Hi Jennifer did u have any success on getting a contact for Peter Silverman. If u did can you be so kind forwarding it to me.

Dear Mr. Silverman,

I would like to add this comment for others to see regarding manufacturers warranty and to beware from buying items from stores like the BRick. We have a fridge that is less than a year old and it is not working. The manufacturer has authorized product replacement but the Brick store staff from the customer service to the management I dealt with is giving us a hard time. Last Sunday they are supposed to deliver (problem started Oct 2009) but they showed up with another damaged goods.

I sent an email to their RVP of operations for Ontario on Sunday but I have not heard from them too. So my last recourse is to ask help from you and to inform the public to beware purchasing big ticket items from not too reputable stores like this (20 Astonbee Rd. Scarborough). They told me that they are going to deliver tomorrow (Wed - Dec 2) but since they failed to deliver 2 times already (first last Fri and then Sun) I am not optimistic about it.

I already sent an email to your office about this. Hopefully this is all done and over with by the end of tomorrow. But damage has been done. So much inconvenience waiting for delivery not counting trips to the store and phone calls.

Hello Mr. Silverman,
I'm hoping you can help me...My late father-in-law was on your show many years ago.I would love to find a copy of the tape. Does this exist somewhere? You can email me directly if you happen to know (I can give you more specifics).
Miss your show!
Thanks for your assitance.

Sincerely,
Joy Levy

Silverman i need your help BADLY. Very short: i was involved in a near fatal car accident about 4 years ago i have healed but i suffer from chronic pain, i snapped my sacrum,and my pelvis on both sides and no doctor wants to treat me because i need pain killers and it is an epidemic in the city and all over North America, That's right i'm talking about Oxycontin. It's no fair how all these people who don't need them are getting them and selling them on the street for $15 for the 40ml and $30 for the 80ml . Meanwhile people like me can't get any doctor to take me on as a new patient let alone prescribe me pain killers. I find that after my accident i am being neglected by are medical system. The last doctor i had that was finally helping me and giving me 40ml 3x a day so that i can go on with my normal activities and go to work, well he was shut down by The College of Physicians and now i called them to complain and they told me basically "OH WELL" and gave me the number to the Health Care Unit and i did and was put on a list of over 300 people and told that it would take months for my number to come up to find me a doctor. Meanwhile i suffer with the chronic pain. Please help i don't know how much longer i can hold on and suffer. I find that most doctor's of different races take their own in as patients and i can't even get a doctor. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME this is no fair to people like me while other people get rich off of this.

Dear Mr. Silverman
I really need some answers and some serious help to get my serverance from my employer of almost 13 years. I"ve tried by myself and it seems I can"t get anywhere with the government offices that are there to help. Even the labour board say they can't help. I truely beleive that I'm the only one in Ontario that is'nt protected under our so called labour law. Please someone who is tired of the way this province does things for me and other people in my positition but really don't know where to turn or Mr. Silverman please, please e-mail me back.

Sincerely,

Gwen Held

And if you complain about certain people like Abraham J. Green he won't even replay to you. He would never go after Al Green construction because that's a good buddy of his. And Al Green's lady friend informed me there's a media black out on Abraham Green, but don't worry he get's the heads up from time to time about people contacting the media to expose him. Lot's of people try to sue but for some reason Al Green just keeps on winning.

Mr. Silverman is a con artist and a coward! And still no answer from him. what a joke!

Mr Silverman...My husband passed away in Dec. He left me with a very large visa which is not mine and is soley his. there is no estate money and they keep sending bills in care of me. It is not mine. I did not take it out or sign for it. I sent a death certificate and a note telling them that there are no monies. I live in an apt. and hope I will get enough from pension to live on. I have applied for GIS. I do not know what I will be getting from the goverment. I had lung surgery last May and this is making me ill worrying about this. Is there anything I can do to get them to stop sending them to his estate when there is no estate money. Please let me know what I can do next.

I am the victim of an "undefended trial"
This means that I was not allowed to speak or present evidence, or my dozens of witnesses at a trial that took both my houses from me ($360,000 - everything i worked my whole life for)
Countless unfounded accusations and unproven lies were used to convince a female judge that I am a terrible man and this was the basis of this "precident setting decision". There are dozens of documents and evidence to prove otherwise, but HAVE BEEN IGNORED by the "superior court of justice". It is hard to fathom that such a nazi type procedure and gender discrimination could take place in the country of canada.
Somebody please help bring this to the attention of the media and people of canada? When our basic civil rights begin to be violated without notice, we are all in deep trouble.

Hi Silverman,

Do you know that in Toronto there are many condominium owners are facing a tough time with their board and their condo management? There are condo laws but no one from government to enforce it. We trust the board members to look after the homeowner’s interest but when they become elected then everything changes. The board members join hand with condo management companies and forget about the homeowner’s interest. The home owners are left vulnerable, they cannot even go to their own condo lawyer because the lawyer supposes to protect the board’s interest not the condo owner’s interest. You tell me how is this fair and why the Government is not doing anything about this. We need a condo police in Ontario that will watch the activity of the condo management and the board.

What we are trying to do to fight this, we have created a contract for the new board that they will sign before they are elected. Also we have put together a website that will be used to connect with other condo owners from anywhere. The website is a networking site for all condo owners because we need a voice and without our loud voice no one will feel our pain.

Please help us with your suggestion.

Thanks,
Golam

Desi Movers are total assholes -- they ripped me off too, but I don't think Silverman reads this website!

Afternoon Peter, Silverman

I am so Sorry to now find out that You are no longer the real peoples defender, in Toronto very poor choice by the network.. I have seen you HELP and save so many in bad situations.

Your the Greatest every Mr. Peter Silverman...

However I have run into a situation with a local used car dealership" LECOS Inc" @
http://www.lecosauto.ca/index.htm?sourceid=navclient&;ie=UTF 8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enCA313CA313&q=lecos

I bought a Vehicle from them in Oct 06 2009, I had issues with the vehicle with the transmission failing twice, I argued and fought for the to repair it finally aft two months they did, few more issue on the vehicle came up but I repaired them due to the rudeness and poor business ethics. I am now very upset and saddened to find that the dlrshp took my vehicle away from me in Feb, 2010 under a small type in there contract that was never told to me, the took my $2,500 deposit, $400, hidden fee that they will not explain...they also have been trying to get an additional $500 out of me and my family if I aver want to see the vehicle again we can not afford it. LECOS has been threatening me and my wife that they are going to sell the vehicle soon? L This is not right or fair.

I have still been paying for the vehicle $366.78 a month + insurance since then and they still have my car 2001 Merc-Benz. They took our car with out notice one morning Feb 12 , 9:am I came out and it was gone from my house I called the police (Richmond hill) file report and the tracked it dwn. It was in holding at there dealership LECOS. The Police would not get involved because it was a civil matter, the dlrshp owner Phil Lecos lied and told the Police I could get the vehicle returned as soon as Insurance was verified... That was over 6 weeks ago, I have called many times and asked and pleaded to have my vehicle returned to us, also contacted the Consumer Beau and still no once can get them to return my vehicle?
I sent a letter to them also demanding the vehicle back - I am desperate, stressed over this whole situation losing sleep and not eating so well I Have a family with four kids, and have no one to turn to for help!

Can you please find a little time to Help Us, Peter… and advice would be helpful

Gary Walker

so how exactly did you get into contact with him?

silverman is just a poser and a coward who's to afraid to confront people.

I think the guy earlier was right, many people are just plain stupid this is not the Peter Silverman website he may not even read this, it is a story about Silverman. I have a problem with a dog on our street that shits on our lawn every morning can you help me? A good start to many problems would be if you don't ask for/want something, don't sign a contract but if you do, read it.
That's my advice.

Daniel .... Toronto
http://bit.ly/jgk9h7

I think I have replied to your problem

I can't recall but I think I dealt with this. In short, there is not a bloody thing you can do except complain to the consumer protection branch of the Ont Govt. (Google them) Just remember this was a regulated industry, no longer, so mit became a free fire zone for consumers. How ever the new
conmsumer protection regs do impose some contyrols over what movers can do-but once they get your goods on board you are their hostage. If you move again, google how to pick a mover or email me and I'll give you some advice. BUT remember with movwers you get what you pay for, cheap often ends up expensive.

There is not a hell of a lot anyone can do. But try your local MPP, after all McGinty keeps on about ending waiting lists etc.

Are you still fighting over this? Read my comment
my e mail is silverman@cfrb.com

I called out peter silverman years ago and the guy is too much of a chicken shit to give me an answer.

here's the message I sent him

Dear Peter Silverman, you contacted Al Green to give him the heads up on my plans to expose his crooked sculpture studio though you. He told his Managing Director Melanie and she went around telling everyone in the studio about it, making me the laughing stock of the Al Green sculpture studio. what do you have to say for yourself? I made a post about it in the City TV forums but it was deleted. make no mistake I will spread the word all over the internet. Will you break your silence when people start reading about what a big phony you are, and appologize?
probably not. because you are a coward.

Peter Silverman won't expose these phonies because they move in his circle. I personally herd the manager brag about a media black out on Al Green. and that they have been contacted on numerous occasions by the media with the heads up.

hello mr. silverman

Please give me an advise....my name is cindi. i am the mother of three. last summer i have sign up with summit energy in April 2009...not knowing is a scam...i was unfortunate now that i am paying for hydro double time the my monthly bill. my biggest mistake is there is such a scam out there...all i know is that this old gentlemen came to my front door tell me about the fix price offer that will give me the benefit in the near future. i told him that my husband is out of the job and money saving can be a benefit to me and my family for sure...because i am expecting a child in oct.2010. this man said sure you will save money in the long run no doubt... now as the months goes by i feel hurt and disappointed that i was scam into so badly....

so now i decide to bit the bullet and paid the fine and goes on with my life and let it be a big lesson not to trust anyone
look and sound so sincere, AT MY DOOR STEP.

i call summit energy about breaking the contract, they gave me the total$ of my fine is $480.90,THAT NEED TO BE PAY BY ME.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS CAN I DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SCAM SO IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ANY MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE.

Hello:

I'm contacting you out of extreme frustration. I'm a small business owner. I have been dealing with a company by the name of Monex Group since 2007. They provide interac machine/direct payment service. The problems started February 2, 2010. A pre-authorized debit transaction in the amount of $17.03 was returned NSF. This was a payment to the company. I received no notification of this in any form. Shortly after that Monex Group froze my interac deposits. Again I received no notification of this in any form. Approximately March 1, 2010, I realized that no payments were being deposited into my business bank account. At that point, I realized that my business account was being hit with multiple NSF charges from the bank and Monex Group for the rental fees for the Interac machine. At this point I started calling the company to find out what was going on. For the first week, the number rang nonstop with no voicemail. I finally got through at the beginning of the second week. From the second week of March until last week, the third week of April, the responses were many. For example:" you don't have an account", "the computers are down", "call back tomorrow", "there's nobody here", "the supervisor is on a break/meeting/phone". They have forwarded me to other people in the company and I would be disconnected. I've left multiple messages with actual people and no one has ever contacted me. I was told to "call back when you're not drunk", and it goes on. So now it is April 29, 2010 and Monex has still not deposited any funds into my business account, the NSF charges keep coming. It went to a collection agency and still I have no idea what is going on except that they have approximately $800.00 of money owing to me. I have pulled together my bank statements and all of my business receipts. So basically, they gave no notice of any problems, have frozen and kept all of the deposits they have received from interac and held all of that money. They are holding money that my store has made all over $17.03 and due to their disgusting business practices, my account has accumulated a large amount of NSF fees. Monex Group contines to take the direct payment monies. They have received money and still refuse to release the approximate $800.00 to my bank account. They are still giving me the runaround. I've called the Better Business Bureau and they are no help. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do. In speaking with the staff and asking for the Manager, I was told that they couldn't give me his/her name. I asked for statements, they said they don't do that. I asked for their address, so I could get this straightened out in person. i was told that they couldn't give me the address or the contact information for their head office. The people that I've spoken with are rude, condescending, unprofessional, inefficient and completely ineffective. I've got all the bank statements, business receipts and a few emails. From an email I received from them i have an address. Can you please assist me in getting this straightened out?

Thank you for your consideration,

I could really do with Mr. Silverman's house we have been really and I do mean really taken advantage of by Mortgage Alliance, and would appreciate any help you can give us , let me know how to contact you..........Theresa

This message is for Gary Walker about the dealership lecos auto sales located on 15 Milford Road. I bought a car from them a few month ago and nothing but problems. I am sending in my complaint to omvic to prove my case. I would like to know more about the vechicle that you had purchase and did you go to omvic and the better busines bureau with this complaint?

Maria, I too am having a problem with a window company. I'm curious to know if it is the same window company that you are having this very sad issue with? Could you e-mail me and tell me what the companies name is?

Thank you

Hi Holly,

sorry to hear that you had a bad experience as well. A VERY sad situation to be in, as windows and doors cost a lot of money.

wondering what is the name of the window company you purchased and installed your windows?

regards

Maria


VINYL CITY WINDOWS AND DOORS INC

Sorry Maria, you stated in your initial comment your experience with the window company - I wanted to actually ask what the final outcome was - if any - and what your next steps my be?

I am not sure if you can in any way help me but this is what happend to me and I am just so lost for word. I don't want anyone to have the same experiance ever.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to you as a very concerned customer who was treated without respect this past weekend by a Manager and a General Manager of one of your Inn and Spa locations (Sterling Inn and Spa). Please understand that I am still a bit shaken/disturbed by the below described experience.

Let me give you a bit of a background to what happened to us on November 13th, 2010.

I have booked a hotel stay at Sterling Inn and Spa in Niagara Falls Ontario about 4 weeks ago via telephone with a manager of the facility (Andre). The booking was done for Friday November 12th to Sunday November 14th, 2010 or so I though. I have made this reservation for a gateway on our wedding anniversary and a winery trip that we take once a year. We arrived at the Inn and Spa on Friday Nov. 12 around 10:30 pm, at check-in time the reception person asked for my credit card and ID which I provided and at which point she gave us keys to our room and that was that. When we walked into the room I noticed that the entrance floor was lifted as if there was some water damage, then I noticed that the room was not what I have asked for but it was late and our thought was to talk to the manager in the morning. In the morning we also discovered that the shower was leaking and my husband’s pj’s that he left on the floor was all wet. Once I was dressed I went out to the lobby and spoke with the receptionist, telling her the issues we had. She advised me that she will contact her manager and will get back to me either by calling our room or our cell phone. Just as I returned to the room and told my husband that they will get back to us with in few minutes there was a knock in the door. The gentlemen at the door identified himself as the manager and asked me what the problem was. I outlined to him what our concerns were but got interrupted and told that he was the person who made the reservation and that I have never indicated to him that I wanted to have jacuzzi bath in the room oppose to the bathroom and even if I did that would never be possible as this particular room can’t be pre-booked. Interesting I though as when I stayed at this hotel the first time I made that request and had the room booked without a problem. The manager then completely ignored me when I voice the other issue. I decided it was not worth arguing with him as he seemed to be very annoyed with us at that moment. Anyway, we decided to be on our way for the winery trip but got stopped at the lobby and asked if we are checking out (again by the manager). We said no, as we are booked until tomorrow and left. Shortly after that as we drove off we got a call on our cell phone (from the manager) telling me that we are only booked for 1 night and that we need to come back and check out from the room. I went on to explain that there must be some sort of mistake as I am certain we were booked for two night stay. He said that he is going to contact the General Manager of the facility and get back to me if anything can be done. When I got the call back from him I was told that they don’t have room for tonight and that we need to check out immediately. I was in TOTAL shock and went on explaining to Andre that there must be some sort of mistake as when the general manager called me to confirm my booking (she contacted me at my work) and if everything was set and okay I told her that I made the booking with Andre from Nov. 12 to Nov. 14 and everything is set. I told him that this is our anniversary gateway and they can’t do this to us, we have other things in place for these two days etc. He said that there is nothing he can do and we need to check out. You have no idea how distraught I felt, my hands were shocking and the only thing that was going through my mind was HOW IN A WORLD SOMEONE CAN DO THIS TO US!!!!!! There was no other hotels available for a decent price in the area and the idea of paying more than $200 per night was out of question at that point. So, it looked as our only option was to go back home. Let me say this, even today as I am writing this complain I can barely hold my tears back. We were looking forward so much to getting away and relaxing, as recently our son was diagnosed with autism, learning disability, and very sever sensory problems, life has been very overwhelming lately and all we wanted is to at least for those two days forget about what was happing in our lives and enjoy each other. Everything on that Saturday got cancelled and we returned home, I was so shaken that I fell asleep crying and woke up in the morning with a head ache.

What I can’t comprehend is how can someone do this. How a hotel Manager be so cruel and how can a General Manager hang up the phone on their client who is so distraught and trying to have her do something for us and understand that all of our plans were ruined because someone made this mistake. All she said to me was that she was very sorry for the inconvenience and that I need to leave the room immediately as the check out time was 12 noon and they need to prepare this room for someone else. Oh, I am so lost for words, I just hope THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ANYONE ELSE!!!! I am not sure how far I am going to take this but let me make this very clear none of my friends or family members will ever stay or recommend this facility to anyone that they come in contact with. All of these people were shocked beyond belief.

I am beyond hard broken and feel I need a written apology from the head person of Ontario’s Finest Inns and Spas. Explanation of how the mission (please see below) can be listed on the website if something what we went through took place at one of your locations.
Mission
Ontario’s Finest Hotels, Inns & Spas are committed to delivery of exceptional hospitality experiences for guests. We provide many tools for customers to be inspired to book at our member properties.
I am currently looking to be fully reimbursed for the one night that I paid at Sterling Inn and Spa and we greatly appreciate speaking with the owner of this facility and the owner of the Ontario’s Finest Hotels.

I hope that you can understand that this is very difficult for me at this time as all of this is incredibly fresh.

Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail.

Best Regards,

Mrs. Madeline Pasnik

Really need help. Can anyone get me in touch with Mr Silverman

Hi, Peter let me tell you my story and maybe you can help me out. I bought a new Buick Lacrosse CXL AWD 2010 last month in 12 of Oct. The car had a vibration on the highway and I brought the car back after a few days. They kept the car for 9 days to check it out and they found a wheel out of balance and 2 tires were heavier. They changed the tires with new ones and balanced the wheel but the car was still vibrating. They said that they drove another new car that was worst than mine and it’s not too bad. I called GM to tell them about and they advised me to bring the car back because the car had 2 recalls to be done also to change the oil. They kept the car for another 8 days doing the recalls and the oil change but the vibration was still there. This time they told me that it is a “characteristic” of the $ 40.000 luxury car to have a vibration on the highway and there is nothing they can do about, it is normal. I told them that I am not happy with this “characteristic” and I don’t feel safe in addition that I would like to exchange the car with a FWD CXS 2011 I drove and liked. Was no “characteristic” of the car on that one. I offered to exchange the car and to pay in cash the difference in price between the two cars. GM called me after 2 weeks to inform me that I have been approved for the exchange and they also will give me a credit of $1700 on the new car. GREAT, WOW! However, it will be like a new deal and I will have to pay again Fright + Air Tax + Registration Fees and I will get for my car the trade in USED car value, witch is way below market value and what I paid for. So to speak it will be a new business for them trying to make more money out of their problem car and a completely unsatisfied customer, isn’t it lovely? I would like to ask you if you have any advice for me and if you could help me in any way. Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you. P.S. The deal was done at Georgian Buick in Barrie.

Hi Peter...

I really hope you can help me. On Dec 4, 2010, my husband & I purchased a one week vacation to Mexico through SUNQUEST VACATIONS. We paid in full, $6124. 3 weeks later I checked the price, and it dropped to $4275.
We have contacted Sunquest Vacations several times asking for either a) a refund of the $1800 we have overpaid, or b) a travel voucher to be used on future travel for the $1800 or c) to be allowed to rebook a trip for the same value.

To date, Sunquest has been very unhelpful, and down right condesending - very frustrating for customer service! We asked to speak to the manager, and she wasn't helpful either. Our next call was to the Director of Customer Service - was told she would call us right back - it never happened.

I understand that the vacation package prices do change over time, but our vacation is still 4 weeks away - there's no way this new price could be called 'last minute discounted' or anything like that.

We feel like we've been ripped off - I will have a hard time enjoying our $6000 vacation knowing we spent too much money on it.

Sunquest has a list of comments that they say when we call, just to brush us off. It's very frustrating. Can you PLEASE help us???

Thank you! You're the BEST!

Mr Silverman,

Please contact me regarding misrepresentation of Personal Training services at Goodlife Fitness in Pickering, on Liverpool Road. I paid in essence about $600 in cancellation fees with nothing to show for it. It was only after i paid the initial intro pkg fee that it was disclosed how much the cost of the actual training sessions would be...approx $5000 which i cannot afford to pay for my son!! My son was heartbroken that he coulden't continue and i['m left with being ripped off of $600 in fees. I want to get my money back!! I'm a single mom and work hard for my money...can you help Mr. Silverman??

I am appealing to you since i have no idea what else to do, so here is a situation which i would like to know if it could be addressed or mentioned about regarding a situation i am finding myself in and i can not seem to get an answer, because no one cares about such problems being resolved.
Back in Fbruary we booked a trip with Sell Off Vacation for an all inclusive resort in Cuba and as a present to my parents we also booked their tickets, i tried to explain the travel agent that i was on the phone with taht my parents are landed immigrants and that we have romanian documents/passports to travel at what point she made no mention about a PR card ( Permanent resident card ) which in the orning of our departure proved to be a silent killer since my parents had to return from the aiport due to the fact that without the PR they could not re-enter the country, we almost did not go in the trip either but we eventually took off.
Upon our return i adviced the person in Quaetion about the situation, where i was told that a Credit Note wil follow out of her good will!!! We paid and probably lost $ 3000.00 but she will try to get a Credi note out of good will.
Since than a little over a month i am getting the run around regarding all this situation and to be honest i do not believe we are anywhere close to getting the credit note.
I am pregnant in 6 months and i am afraid i will deliver before this situation will be cleared. I do not know where else to go or who can i turn to? The lady refuses to give me a straight answer about this or about who is in charge so that i could further show my frustration and hopefully make myself heard!
In case if anyone could guide me or give me an advice i would very much appreciate.
I provided my cell phone number already and here is my email: lmunteanu@jaytex.com

Your consideration, time and help will be very much appreciated!
Sincerely,
Luiza

I could really use your help. I hired a lawyer who has done absolute nothing at all for me. My case is settled, however I need one form that he is unwilling to give me. This form was from August 2009 and should have been file with the court at that time, it never was. It is called a Affidavit of Service. He also keeps claiming that I need to provide other documents which are already in the file at the courthouse. He has sent which I would call very rude harrassing emails. At one point he yelled at me on the phone and then stopped when I told him I was paying him. He has been paid for the services rendered in 2009, however there is a balance owing of $3000.00 for services in 2010, which I refuse to give him until he provides me with an itemized statement of account, which he also refuses to provide me with. He has told me that he will provide me with the document when I pay him the balance. I feel this to be somewhat blackmail when he has already been paid for those services which were not provided in 2009. I am at my witts end and have been through an enormous amount of stress with this man and the whole situation. I always thought when you hire a lawyer there are suppose to represent you not the other party. I find this man to be one of the most incompetent people I have ever met. Mr Silverman I really hope you can help me. I have provided my email address.

Hello,

I have a huge problem with the federal correctional system. It is a very controversial issue. I am at my witts end with these people and tired of standing back to watch all the vitimizing and hearing everyone who should be helping saying "Oh that's just how the system is". Please, I would appreciate any help you can offer.

hello my name is suresh and i'm scared for my life and really need help, I have been charged this long weekend and i accept full responsibilty for what i did, i had bought a car from kijiji august 27' 2010 privately and have not transferred it since cause my license is suspended. I went together with my girlfriend to the ministry to get more info on if i can transfer the car under my name with a suspended, the clerk asked me for i.d and i presented my health card as its the only picture i.d i have, she refused it and my girlfriend handed her drivers license. We requested the used vehicle package and while it was being printed, the clerk began filling out my girlfriend info on the ownership that was suppose to be under my name, soon as we saw we asked her what was she doing, she responded that it will speed up the process so we dont have to wait, i said the car is not going under her name and we only came here to find out if i can transfer ownership under my name, she then pointed out the ownership wasnt signed on the right place but was signed on the date instead and said to us even if we wanted to transfer the car we couldnt because of that. My girlfriend then asked if anything was transferred because the clerk filled out her info at the back, the clerk said no and we left the place. Ever since the car has been parked at the back of my building, My girlfriend had help me buy the car with her osap loan and i was to help her repay the loan amount, I was laid off work in october and since then been going to school studying police foundations. My girlfriend is in debt and cannot enroll in her university courses cause she has to pay the loan before she can, I had posted up the car for sale on kijiji since, Last saturday i had someone come look at the car cause he was interested, The plate belonged to the seller and was on the car at the time cause my building superintendant said they were towing cars without plates. The person that came to see the car gave me a downpayment of 3000.00 and was to pay the rest on sunday when he can take the car home. He test drive the car and i said to him it cant be on the road, he said dont worry that hes buying the car, i was so desperate and in need of the money so i can repay my girlfriend loan so she can continue her studies. He got a call and had to leave but the car was not back at my building but 5 min away, he left and said he was coming back the following day, I had no money to tow the car home and it was on private property, i took the chance to take it home and got pulled over in the parking lot, i was charged and i accept fault for it, they took the plates gave me 6 tickets for driving while suspended, fail to have insurance card , and some other tickets. While they were doing this i asked the officer if i should call a tow truck, he said it wasnt necessary, after they were finish he then told me to get back in the car and drive it home. I told him i didnt want to and he said i didnt have a choice because the vehicle was on private property, I then drove the car home. On sunday i was at the back of my building with my family and one of the officer came back to my car and approached me asking me for my ownership saying he needs to see something, I gave it to him and he then confiscated it and was laughing at me telling me hes gonna charge my girlfriend and and the other officer calling me a liar, i glimpse at the computer in the cruiser and saw him looking at my girlfriend picture calling out to the officer talking to me saying check this fish out. The officer that took my ownership stated that the car was own by my girlfriend cause of her info being at the back of the ownership and said he was gonna charge her, they humiliated me infront of my parents telling me i should not show my face back at school and i'm a disgrace. i felt so embarassed, he said i had to bring my girlfriend to the station , i took her yesterday and she was given 3 tickets saying she's the cause of what happened. I then asked the officer for help that i was being thretened by the guy i bought the car from and he refused to help me and said to leave the station or he will arrest me. Please i need help, I feel to kill myself with what has happened, I cant even focus on my life, I cant even look at my family because of what the officer said to me. Please help me before i do something i regret.

Mr.Silverman, I need some help in dealing with Panasonic of Mississauga, regarding my microwave oven. They accepted my complain and offered to consider some sort of settlement, but would not respond in spite of several reminders. I sent detailed description to Pat Foran of CTV, but she is too busy and suggested I seek other avenues. Since you are not any more with Toronto Star, can you give me another person who might be doing this wonderful job of helping consumers to fight with mighty corporations like Panasonic for an amount of under 500 dollars? I will appreciate your e-mail response. Thank you and wish you healthy and pleasant retirement.

I read about your show getting pulled I'm in shock.Im very sorry that the fighters we have 4 the people are being taken away everyday by our corrupt system . On that note Id like to tell you sabout myself . Im a 28 yr old disabled woman who has been pushed around and spit on more than you can imagine. I was an ambassador for Bloorview Mac Millan Rehabiliation when I was younger and always in the media / Its sad to see they no longer have a use for me Im too old to use the "pity" factor .. As an adult I worked for our Government in ODSP. Again didnt work out for me because "IM DISABLED " I had real opinions and contributions to make and they let me go because it was a conflict of resolution that I knew so many disabled people . So you see I've gotten the short end of the stick before but this time Im not going to let these people spit on me . I want to stand up for myself and all the other unhappy disabled people who have gone through similar experiences . Three years ago June 30th 2008 I was a backseat passenger in a horrific motor vehicle accident that left me almost paralyzed on my right side , needless to say I became very "disabled " and now require the help of attendants 24 hrs a day . My life has drastically changed again . So I'm in full time rehab still.. During the last 3 yrs I have incurred many new expenses relating to my disabilitys . In the first year I still had Auto insurance but they cut me off 7 months after coming home from NEURO INTENSIVE CARE ... I didnt give up. I used every Free service I could find to try to piece back what lil life I had left . Thats when I found out about March of Dimes . The home & vehicle modification program . They could give me a grant of $15,000 towards modifying my vehicle that I had bought purposely to be modified . So I met their criteria went through their program and payed the initial assesments my self to be referred to a REHAB DRIVING PROGRAM . Even though I wasnt driving in my car accident . I was introduced to ST ELIZABETHS DRIVING REHAB here in Toronto. I took driving lessons with them, and they made their recomendations as an occupational therapist as to what needed to be modified in my car to make it easier to drive 4 me . I didnt not agree wth their first assesment they had ridicoulus stuff added into the quotes . They wanted to add electronic vvoice command to my wind wipers and a whole lot of costly stuff that I didnt need . When March of dimes finally got involved I had already spent a fair bit of money on the first assesment $625 and didnt want to pay it again just so the therapist would delete that off the quote . St. Elizabeths insisted I need to be re-assesed so March of Dimes paid the last time . Than my car was brought to KINO MOBILITY . This is where everything got very shady and crooked . Initially their quotes were very high and for extra things . Finally I was able to get the sales rep to realize I only had the money from March Of Dimes and if they didnt meet that , than I couldnt bring my car there . So they met the $13,000 limit that was set because I needed $2000 for St Elizabeths . They initially made a contract stating my car was going to be there for 2 wks as they modified it . They went behind my back and asked March Of Dimes for a one month extension and never even asked or told me . I showed up their on the friday to pick up my car to find out that they had already recieved a one month extension . So I was left with no car for the first 2 months because they didnt even meet their one month extension . I had to pay for rentals during that time to get around to all my doctors appointments . And was never re-imbursed for that . Than they wouldnt tell me what kind of modifications were actually beinng put on . I took mechanics in school so naturally I wanted to see what they were . I was told I wasnt allowed back there and couldn't find out what they actually were until their on . Than they wanted to train me to use them . As soon as I finally got my car a while later . They never even put on all the stuff they had quoted for . Plus they used the cheapest stuff possible and chaged for top line stuff example they charged me $900 for a remote starter asnd gave me $150 future shops lowest model. I wasnt happy and I wanted a meeting with the owners . I still to this day haven't met the owner of Kino mobility . I spoke to various people there which conveniently no longer work there . I had a one and half hour meeting with JOE the GM @ kino Mobility with my ex BF as my witness he said they would look into my complaints and he took notes during this meeting , but I had to wait until december for the technician to come back from vacation in Vietnam . Come december I bring the car in again , Ive been having trouble with it from the beginning . I waited til December . When I came in his attitude had changed basically he felt he didnt have to do anything for me and that there was nothing he could do to fix the problem other than upgrade my remote stater to a 2way reciver . I let them change the remote starter. They did that , the car started starting by itself . Burning my gas and killing the car . They said they didnt know what I was talking about . Than the electronic starter and shifter went on the car . It electonically starts the car for me because i cant use my right arm, my shoulders still dislocated . They changed the shifter just 2wks ago Im still having the same problem now the car will not shift into DRIVE OR REVERSE its stuck in NEUTRAL. its useless I have spent over $30,000 in the last year with them and still I have a car that doesnt work. The modifications have ruined my car . They now have told me that Im no longer welcome there and my car wont be serviced by them when they signed a contract for 3 yrs . What do I do now ? they wont fix my car Im not allowed to take to anyone else because of the modifications . I have a car I cant drive that they have had longer than I have in the past year . I need to go to my Dr appointments and cannot take public transportation . I need your help please . If you could just give me some ideas or advice I dont know where else to turn .

How can I contact you for help?

We live in condo and there is a lot of things going on,so we need some help regarding management and board of director.How can we contact you?

dear silverman,I had a trucking company from 2006-2009.during this year I work for DJN express and Jose transportation as a owener/operator.For DJN express I worked almostCA$1,30,000.00.
They paid me CA$ 88,000.00. they still owe me CA$42,000.00.
Since 2007 they told me we wont cheat you,we will give you soon.never said exact date. now they moved their house and change buisiness name and told me all money we paid you long time ago dont come to us any more.I have no written contract with them I thought they never cheat me because we both same nationality we need to trust them and also they gave opportunity to me even I am new in the trucking buisniness.
so I didnot insist them to write me a contract.
Exactly the same reason I didnot have sign any contract with Jose transportation.I worked for them CA$80,000.00 but they paid CA$68,000.00.still they owe me CA$12,000.00. They told me the reason the dispstcher who gave me the order you go and ask him not my company owe any money to you.
Please help me to get this money. I have some documents (such as they gave me to pick up and drop off a confirmation and whatever money they deposit in to the bank details).If you please kindly give me an appointment,I can bring and show you.I knew there are lot of people like me they are cheating by some companies.I storgly believed Truth will never defeat by knaves. Thank you and I look forward your answer.

Mr. Silverman,
I bought a house in Claremont, Ontario from the Builder BGS HOMES.The closing of the house was suppose to be the ending of December,but that did not happen as yet.
My Problem is that the City of Pickering has given the builder an Occupany Permit eventhough the kitchen and none of the washrooms are yet finish. The bank on the other hand will not release the loan to them because they feel that the kitchen and washrooms should be done. BGS HOMES is threating to put us in default of the closing and we will lose the $100,000.00 downpayment because the bank feels that more needs to get done in the house before they release the payment.

How can the city issue an Occupany Permit to these builders knowing that so much more is left to get done in these houses. So long as these builders have and Occupany Permit they do not care but you have to close eventhoug the house is not livable. Please help. Thanks. Leena

I have been cheated by Heritage Scholarship funds. I gave them over $22000 and they took all of my interest away that the government had paid into it (20% at the time)I am a single mom with two kids approaching university.
Please help me get my money back. They did not inform me that this would happen to my funds. I was told the account had been making 10% interest over the last 20 years. All a ploy to get my money and in the end they won't even answer my emails.

Please help me put an end to their scam.

Battikha Security Inc provided this customer with all the information, help and options that were available to assist the customers in facilitating the relocation of their alarm system smoothly to their new home. Please see the written responses below of the options that were given to the customer back in May of 2009, even though the customer calims Battikha Security Inc did not try to help them with their relocation issues.


07/15/2009 Receive Business Response
In regards to case # 1195581 it was our understanding that this customer is relocating and wanted to have the alarm monitoring service in their new home.
While Battikha Security Inc does not have an office in New Brunswick and there is a charge for the relocation of the alarm system, it was relayed to the customer that we (Battikha Security Inc) will have the relocation rectified for them. The customer was also made aware of the fact that we would make some internal arrangements with ADT in order to have their system relocated at no cost to them.
ADT does not charge the customer in cases like these because they recoup their cost from the Dealer (Battikha Security Inc) that is why ADT is able to advise the customer that they will not charge them.
The Dealer on the other hand does end up paying the full cost of the entire 3 year term to ADT therefore term fees are automatically applied once a customer decides to cancel the contract before its maturity date.
Please see the emails below for when the customer had called ADT with their complaint (April 30, 2009) as well as our response to ADT and what we were willing to do for the customer (May 01, 2009)
At this point we are still willing to have ADT relocate Mr. & Mrs. Lister's alarm system to their new location in New Brunswick at no cost to them.
It will be done under a new 3 year term, however as a show of good faith Battikha Security Inc. will reimburse Mr. & Mrs. Lister for the 3 months they have already paid for the monitoring services (if ADT does not provide them with the credit)
The conditions would be that Mr. & Mrs. Lister allow us to make the proper arrangements to have our technician dismantle the alarm system from their home.
We will then have the technician leave the extra devices that we had installed in the home for them so they can take it to New Brunswick and the ADT technician there will install their new basic package along with the extra devices that we send with them. (This is providing that Mr. & Mrs. Lister follow through with signing to the new 3 year term and having the alarm system installed in the new home in New Brunswick.)
We will be providing Mr. & Mrs. Lister with a direct contact number for an ADT representativein New Brunswick in order to make this a smooth transition.
Please advise Mr. & Mrs. Lister of our intentions to resolve this matter as it has been from the onset of this matter.
Thank you very much.

Dear Fiona,
As mentioned before Battikha was willing back when this all started, and is still willing to relocate this customer's alarm system to New Brunswick, at no additional cost to the customer.
Battikha also indicated in our previous correspondence that we are willing to cover the customer's monthly monitoring fee for the past 3 months in order to even out the new three year term that they would be signing to in New Brunswick.
In the previous communications there were no mention of a son or daughter in Hamilton or Guelph to take the alarm monitoring service.
Had that been the case Battikha would have done the relocation from the get go as Battikha does provide alarm service in both Hamilton and Guelph.
It is still our stance that we will have ADT relocate this customer's alarm system and monitoring services in New Brunswick and Battikha will still provide the customer with 3 months amount of their monthly monitoring fee, as stated in our previous response dated July 15/09.
The conditions that the customer is looking for is not feasible as:
1. The customer will need to follow the steps required in order to recoup their offer, we are not able to just mail them out a $25 gas card monthly. That is not how the program works and the customer was made aware of this.
2. We are not an insurance company, therefore we are not able to give 10%-15%on their home insurance. That is between them and their insurance company.
In the allegation of deceit and misrepresentation, again as mentioned in our previous response, all accounts go through a rigorous QA process before the representative leaves the customer's home, in order to ensure that everything was clearly explained and understood.
A second QA process is done by ADT after the installation and again, this is to ensure that everything was done according to standard and the customer clearly understands
The term and conditions of the contract and everything was explained clearly.
The calculation that the customer is referring to might have been the representatives break down of what the calculations might work out to be for the customer, not an exact amount of what the customer will pay out of pocket directly. If this was so then the customer would not need to sign the contract reflecting that their monthly payments are $39.99+ gst. All they would need would be a copy the representatives break down.
In addition, Battikha Security Inc. will relocate the alarm system for either the customers' son or daughter in Hamilton or Guelph, the choice of who will take the services will be up to the customer and their children.
Again , please advise the customer of our intensions to resolve this matter expeditiously as we need to have this resolved prior to the customers vacating their current premise.
Kind regards.

Battikha Security have been trying to assist you from the very start to facilitate your alarm system relocation (you may refer to the email sent to ADT requesting that we work something internally so as to allow you to relocate your alarm system in New Brunswick)
Instead of addressing any of the many resolution suggestions Battikha has made, you seem only to want to bypass these suggestions and continue to defame Battikha Security Inc(a Canadian company and its staff)
Battikha will move forward by clarifying the suggested resolutions that have been put on the table through our past correspondence.
1. Battikha's technician needs to get access to your current premise(301 Delaney Drive) in order to remove the alarm system,(prior to you vacating the premise) to provide you with all the extra devices that Battikha had installed for you as a show of good faith. (Which was at a cost of approximately $500 which Battikha Security had incured) so you can give it to the ADT Technician in New Brunswick and have them installed along with ADT's basic package in your New Brunswick home. Hence providing you with the "same features and benefits" you have at your current location.
2. Battikha will provide you with direct contact for an ADT Corporate representative in New Brunswick who will assist you with the relocation of your alarm system and the paperwork required.
3.Battikha will reimburse you the monies that you have paid out to ADT for your monthly monitoring cost over the past 3 months.
4. Battikha will ensure that once you sign a new 3 year agreement with ADT Corporate you will not incur any additional cost other than your monthly monitoring cost for your 3 year term in New Brunswick. There will be no alarm system relocation fee cost to you.
5.You still have the option of having your son or daughter take the alarm services in their home, either in Guelph or in Hamilton, again whoever takes the service will not incurr any additional cost in regards to the relocation of the alarm system, but will need to make their monthly monitoring cost payment for the duration of their 3 year term (Battikha will still honor reimbursing you for the 3 months monitoring fee that you have already paid to ADT)
6.If the above terms are adhered to: be it that you relocate your alarm system to New Brunswick under a new 3 year term with ADT Corporate, or your son or daughter have the alarm system relocated to their home under a new 3 year term with ADT Corporate, as well as Battikha being given access to your current premise to remove the alarm system that is there, then the term fee amount(for the alarm system/services at 301 Delaney Drive) sent to you by invoice will be wiped out.
7. Battikha Security will not be prepaying any monitoring fees on your behalf.
These are the terms that we have agreed to, Battikha Sincerely hope that this will clarify the resolutions that were put forth in the previous responses.
Do bear in mind that in your first set of correspondence there was no mention of relocating to Hamilton or Guelph. Annette has been with the company for several years and knows the areas in which Battikha provides services and would never turn away business.Therefore your claim that this suggestion was rejected is completely incorrect.
You've continuosly stated that ADT advised you in the negative about Battikha Security, yet you have not stated a name of the individual who had advised you in that manner.
Since ADT has no record of this defamation of Battikha's character, it would best be validated if you were able to support your statements by providing the name of the individual who advised as such.
Once again these are our offers, please advise on how you wish to go forth on this matter prior to vacating 301 Delaney Drive.

When conducting business, regardless of what part of the world you are from, there is usually a contract/agreement that is required to be signed.
The purpose of getting a signed agreement is usually to avoid he said/she said. On all such documents there is normally a notaiotn to the effect that consumer have read and understands what is contained in the agreement/contract, in this case it does state on page 2 of the agreement "CUSTOMER HAS READ ALL OF THE PAGES OF THIS AGREEMENT (FRONT AND BACK) AND UNDERSTANDS ALL THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN"
In my recent response, what is not "feasible" is for the customer to teminate their monitoring services and not be charged termination fees and be reimbursed all monies that thay have paid out so far.
In light of that, in my last response it was clearly stated that regardless of the fact that there was no metion of a son or daughter in Hamilton or Guelph, Battikha Security Inc. is willing to relocate the alarm system and services in either of those 2 homes (Hamilton/Guelph) the rlocation will be at no additional cost to the customer.
As well, if that is not agreeable, again as stated in my last response, Battikha Security Inc. have made arrangements to have the customer's alarm system relocated in New Brunswick at no additional cost to the customer.
Becuase it will have to be under a 3 year term, as per my last response, Battikha Security Inc. will reimburse the customer for the 3 months that they have already paid into the agreement therefore it balances out the new 3 year term.
The resolutions above were all written in my last response but seem to have been overlooked as the customer did not address any of them, instead the customer seems to want to go by a rough hand written calculation that niether themselves nor the representative signed to.The customer is overlooking the legal contract that they signed and instead seem to want Battikha Security to honor something that is not valid.
The customer does not want to accept any of the resolutions that's been given since the start of this matter.
it seems the customet just want out of the agreement without penalties.
The consumer's origianl desired resolution was to have the system relocated to to New Brunswick at no additional cost to them, Battikha Security Inc. made arrngements for that to happen back in May 01/09 even before this was brought to BBB.
Once again, this matter needs to be dealt with in an expiditious manner as we need to make arrangements prior to the customer moving to New Brunswick.
Our stance remains as such, we will relocate the system in either Hamilton, Guelph, or we have already made arrangements to have ADT relocate it in New Brunswick at no additional cost to the customer.
Please advise on customer's decision.

Anyone please help. I am a 67 yr old senior----5 years ago my husband approached Citifinancial after seeing a flyer in the mail offering a credit card. Of course it was used and before we knew it we were in worse trouble than before------worse than before we were having a difficult to make payments on bills like utilities . However Citi financial was there offering a great solution -combine all bills in onto 1 and we would be in the clear. The person Rose called me several times to arrange this although I refused to get into any more trouble and told her that my husband is bipolar and does not handle money well.
Finally I agreed to see what the tems of the loan were and at the top left of the page I READ PERSONAL LOAN. on that basis I signed the agreement I figured it could not be too bad as we would have only 3 payments.

Well every thing went well until the downturn in the economy and my husband lost his job after 15 years. Since thattime my life is a living hell-Citi was the first to threaten us with forclosure we have gone to foodbanks regurgularly for clothing Stretch and everything we could,3 weeks ago I slept in my car as Hydro cut off my light and any food roted

Now the stress is so bad Citi is making a final move. My husband has left and while I an keeping up with the first mortgage---the one for Citi has not been paid
my car the mortgage and the loan. Yesterday I got their Statement of claim.

In the past 3 years I have lost my only son, my husband andand now probably. I would never have signed for that loan if I knew the dangers of doing it. Citi will someday have to pay for what they have done.

If there is anyone out there can help me please.........

I really need your help with an issue. Can you please contact me through my email so I know where to contact you please.

Many thanks,
Deb Purdon

Mr. Silverman,
My wife tried to get into the health and travel insurance business and when no money was made over the past 12-18 months, she decided to close down the business. She had her son help here with a web site and we recently received a letter from a Lawyer firm located on Finch Ave. W. threatening to sue the business for infringement of posting a pisture without consent from the owner of the picture. The notice was quite threatening saying that this sort of stealing could bring up to a $20,000 law suit? The lawyer then offered a settlement out of court for $3,000 with a 10 day offer for this settlement dated on Friday July 10th but we received the notice on the 23rd via registered mail that we did not have to sign for. I used to watch you and wondered if you could direct us upon our next move. We have then google the name of the plaintiff and there are numerous items on the internet of this guy from Hawaii doing this all over the world. I really would love to get your assistance and please feel free to forward me an email address where I can forward you the actual Infringement Notice. Thanks in advance

Chris and Kye Bae Blanchard

Mr. Sivlerman,
Can you please help me. I have recently paid for a bathroom reno for my parents due to my fathers ailing health. A company that I found at a home show came to do the job. The job looks like it was their first reno and the service etc was just not there. the bathroom is still not finished and I already paid everything up front. They have also just sent me another bill for some extra stuff. The materials that I already paid for is of cheap quality and not what they had promised. The plumbing is also leaking all over the place. PLEASE help. You can contact me at my email address or at 226-887-4278. Thank-you

Hi Mr Silverman, I am your great fan, I miss your shows on City TV. only your voice can give justice to the people of their rights.
I don't know where and how to begin to address bullying at workplace by supervisors and manager. In my workplace, Named Newalta Corporation, their top management hire one bully as a supervisor and promoted him as a branch manager, simply to use him and get rid of all senior staff, including management. He started his mission of Bullying by targeting management staff first, he succeeded by getting rid of previous 4 supervisors and admin staff. He also get rid of two new supervisors recently, as they are not helping him to achieve his mission.Then he started his mission of bullying against workers, we have our local Union at workplace, we filed many individual grievances and group grievance. We realised that grievance process is not working . So far he succeeded to fire two of our senior members by making documents against them. Their case also not heard by our local Union, finally they went through court system, and still its ongoing at court level.
Back at workplace, his mission of bullying and psychological harassment is still continued. I am victim of this inhuman treatment at workplace on every single day. I got many documents about his inhuman act of bullying and psychological harassment.
I am here to get any help to prevent this inhuman act of bullying and psychological harassment at workplace.
New Bill under Occupational H& S Act- is also useless, they can't prevent by enforcement.
I will appreciate any advise that will help to prevent this inhuman act of bullying and psychological harassment at workplace.

Can you PLEASE help us???

Thank you! You're the BEST!
