UPDATE !!!
Since International Risk Control (IRC) failed to communicate on several occasions especially during the estimating phase of the project, ever leaving to Joplin, MO, a certified Grievance Letter was submitted to IRC on November 28th 2011. The lack of communication forced me to find assistance through the Texas Department of Insurance (Consumer Protection) and Public Adjusters associations and other resources to gain an updated status.
On January 5th of 2012, I filed a complaint with the Florida Association of Public Adjusting. On January 11th 2012, I also filed with the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA). On January 20th 2012 I received a letter from the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) stating that they received a letter dated on January 12th 2010 from IRC testifying that the client has not paid him as of January 12th; therefore, they cannot act as a court of law to determine disputed agreements between adjusters.
On December 28th 2011 a lawsuit was filed, but IRC avoided the served documents so the case went into default. As a result, they failed to appear in court which brought forth a judgment of the amount of $6,163.56 plus court costs.
During this time, I was conducting research with their complaints filed with TDI (Consumer Protection) and the result were (5) in 2009, (1) in 2010 and (3) in 2011 – (512) 305-7621. I also followed-up with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts office and as of September 30th, 2010 they have NOT been in GOOD STANDING.
On February 9th I received a email from IRC stating that the claims is still open and they will keep me informed and when the claim settles.
A simple corresponded letter dated 10 days from the Grievance Letter sent on November 28th 2011 could have avoided both reputations and licenses.
Remember you can take this further by reporting to the IRS and more if needed, but this is where I stay since they are cooperating now, with no complaints and now I’m looking forward on moving on with my career.
I wanted to thank all association and the Texas Department of Insurance (Consumer Protection) for assisting me on finding a resolution with International Risk Control, LLC.
