In Reply to: Re: To all plumbers & plumbing companies....what's your opinion on my situation? posted by Vic PlumbingSupply.com on December 07, 1997 at 15:07:05:
: I think that we can not really judge this situation from hearing your side of the story.
: It sound like you wish for us to be on your "side" and I don't think this is possible in this case.
: We would need to see the job, hear the other side of the story and then maybe decide.
: In my mind this is not really a plumbing question but rather a question of ethics, judgement, etc etc and I really think a small claims court or a judgement by local peers (or the LOCAL contractors board or ?) is in order here.
I have tried to state the situation as objectively as I can and am not in any way trying to make anybody side with me. The reason why I decided to post this message is because I would like to know if this is a common practice among plumbers, or if I am just plain ignorant about things. A small claims court is definitely in order here, as a matter of fact, I am being sued for this. I am not from this country, so I have no idea what your practices are when it comes to these things.
