Ms. Thompson is engaged to my partner's uncle. She mentioned that she has done some business consulting in the past as well as having written business plans for clients.

I asked her for a time line for completion of a business plan and she said 4 weeks at most. That was ideal for me. She informed me that she would perform various tasks needed to start a business in philadelphia. We agreed on a total price and she informed me that she required a downpayment. She then asked to borrow 1,000 dollars as well.

I met with her and we signed a contract for the services as well as for the loan.

We spoke on the telephone a few times and had a few face to face meetings but the services were not performed. She eventually gave me a rough copy of the business plan and need the balance due on the contract. Before giving her the balance I informed her that I was not satisfied with our transaction up to that point. She apologized and promised to that there would not be any problems going forward.

We spoke on the telephone a few times after that but our next meeting was not for a few months where she confessed that she used the money I gave her for her business and she could not replace it. I was then promised her full commitment to completing my project. That did not happen.

I sued her in civil court (she did not show up) and won my cases. As of this writing , she has not contacted me in regard to paying the judgement.

Mr. Lyder Was Paid Long Before He Decided To Slander!

AUTHOR: Davida - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, September 02, 2008

As it turns out Mr. Lyders check was mailed to him in January of 2006 (long before he decided to file this report). He did not receive it in a timely fashion because as it turns out, he moved. Like I said, "Anyone reading this could see why I would prefer to give him his money back."

POSTED: Wednesday, June 06, 2007

As of this post Ms. Thompson has satisfied the judgements against her company. After the exchange on this site Ms Thompson contacted me and made arrangements to have a check sent to me. I received the check and was able to cash it.

Our business is concluded and I wish Ms. Thompson and her company the best of luck in any and all of her future endeavors.

Your story is full of holes

AUTHOR: Gary - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, April 06, 2007

Ms. Thompson of Boss Contracting stated in her last post that she sent a check via certified mail in January of 06. She noted that because it was sent via certified mail that I would have had to sign for it. She also made note of the amount of the check.

IT AMAZES ME THAT SHE DOES NOT SAY THAT SHE HAS A SIGNED CERTIFIED RECEIPT FROM THE US POST OFFICE WHICH WOULD PROVE HER CASE THAT I SIGNED FOR ANYTHING.

ALSO I CHALLENGE HER TO PROVE THAT THE CHECK SHE MAILED WAS CASHED.

AND FINALLY MY QUESTION IS WHY IF SHE SENT THIS CHECK VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND I ALLEDGELY SIGNED FOR IT AND I ALLEDGELY CASHED HER CHECK WHY IS IT THAT SHE HAS NOT GONE TO THE CICVIL COURT ON 11TH & MARKET AND SHOWED PROOF WHICH WOULD SATISFY THE 2 JUDGEMENTS THAT I WON AGAINST HER.

I am also stunned that Ms. Thompson is attemping to portray herself as a victim with her statement "Anybody reading this and the names you've called me can see why I would prefer to refund your money as opposed to working with a person of your character". I gave Ms. Thompson multiple chances to fulfill the services she was contracted to provide to no avail.

Ms. Thompson should remember the conversation in her new car (which the money I loaned her helped her purchase) where she explained to me that after I requested an audit of monies that were given to her to complete the services of our contract, she confessed that she used the money for her company (Boss Contracting)and could not pay the money back at that moment nor did she know how long it would be before she would be able to repay the money. That was the las conversation that I had with Ms. Thompson.

I called her home repeatedly and had even spoken with her father a few times. Being a professional man I did not go into detail with him about the monies owed to me by Ms. Thompson. SHE NEVER RETURNED ANY CALLS !

She had the option to go to arbitration instead of being heard by a judge, she never replied to the request. She also did not appear in civil court after being served.

Im sorry the Ms Thompson feels victimized but she has only herself to blame. I contracted her to provide services to enable me to open my own business. She was engaged to my partners uncle (whom in one of her posts here she says was not a good provider-how can a man who is just coming out of jail after more than 10 yrs be a good provider?!)

My partner had HIV and it was extremely difficult for him at times to travel to work. My idea to open the business was in response to that problem. My store would have been around the corner from where we lived so my partner could go home and rest when he needed to and work in the store when he was able. I explained the to Ms. Thompson the evening in her car , thinking that she may then understand the importance to me of having the contract completed.

Again to no avail. So I think my initial comments on this post were as professionl as possible. They were not profane nor untrue. She choose to no longer "work with a person of my character" after I requested her to fulfill the services of our contract or to refund the monies that were given to her for that purpose.

If anyone is thinking of doing business with Ms. Thompson and has read any of these posts, I beg you to ask her to provide evidence that she satisfied the 2 judgements that are still open as of this reply. If does not provide the proof immediately - RUN THE OTHER WAY! Anyone can call the municipal court and confirm that the judgements are still open and have not been satisfied.

The cases/judgements are a matter of public record and can accessed online. The case#'s are SC-04-12-20-6281 in the amt of 2274.00 and SC-04-12-20-6282 for the amt of 1110.00

A Check In The Amount Of $3,384.00 Was Mailed...

AUTHOR: Davida - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, March 24, 2007

Via certified mail, which means you had to sign for it. This was early in January of last year and made payable to Gary Lyder, at the address I have on file. Anybody reading this and the names you've called me can see why I would prefer to refund your money as opposed to working with a person of your character. Therefore, I sent you more than enough with interest to prevent this type of nuisance. YOU HAVE BEEN PAID!!! Although I don't owe you anything if you have any further questions, by all means, I will continue to maintain my professionalism and swallow my pride so you can feel free to contact me.

As of today Ms. Thompson of Boss contracting has not repaid any of the money that is owed to me and the 2 judgements are still outstanding. I am unclear why Ms. Thompson declared that the monies were paid back w/intrest. I have not received anything from her and the problem was certainly not resolved quickly otherwise why would I have had to take her to civil court and win two judgements against her that she did not feel obligated to appear in court.

To whom Ms. Thompson did you repay the monies too??? I am still awaiting repayment!!

I welcome her to contact me to make restitution on the monies owed and fulfill the outstanding judgements against her and her company.

I've apologized for the inconvenience...

POSTED: Friday, March 16, 2007

However, your partner's uncle was not a good provider and he was supposed to help with the payments. He never did, therefore; I paid you every cent of your money with interest last year. Why didn't you write about the fact that the problem has been solved as quickly as you exaggerated about it in the first place?
