CMH Parks - Southfork Mobile Home Community Rip Off Told Can Not Add A Greenhouse Wylie Texas

Wondering how all this worked out for you so many years ago?  I also lived at SouthforK MHP during the 90s, and what a horrible experience it was.  I truly believe they are in the business of selling people mobile homes with promises and promises, then not keeping the promises, then for instance when our AC went out and we spent hundreds and they still couldn't fix it, they are hoping we will move out, take a loss, and they can sell the mobile home the next sucker that comes along.  This is my opinion, I have no proof that they do this.  We lost alot of money living there, it was a huge money pit, and to this day I will never again purchase any mobile home anywhere. 

I had filed a report in July 2007. I had to call the Corporate offices in Tennessee. I talked to a person by the name of David. He advised me to try and settle the problem with Macie the Manager. I advised him things had gone from bad to worse for his company. I took over 400 digital pictures of the streets and speed bumps of this community. I told this person that I had sent a certified letter to the manager, Macie, and that I had just mailed one to him. I offerred to send by email an attachment with the pictures. He did not seem too interested in my problem. I told him that I had forwarded to the American With Disabilities section of the Federal Government. I told him I go places in my Hoveround Electric chair.
I also reminded him that his corporation was responsible for the upkeep and not the city of Wylie Texas. I also informed him that there were covers that were off of water meters. I informed him that with everypicture I took I had with me a tape measure on the height and length and width of all the potholes and speed bumps.


I then informed him that I had talked to 2 TV stations that do investigative reports on problems of consumers. These conservations took place the 23rd and 25th of July 2007. They were very impressed with the pictures that I had taken. They said that they would look into the matter and get back in touch with me.
I heard from them on August 1 2007 and was informed that corporate and Macie the manager said they would get back with them. On August 2 2007 I received a call from Macie who said that David from corporate had told her to see if she could work something out with me. I told her that the only way things could get better would be for the problem to be taken care of.

Later that day I went to the Mail lock box and my Hoveround got stuck on a speed bump. I did 2 things, first, I called my husband and let him know what had happened. The next person I called was the local TV stations. Then I called Macie and told her to please send a maintenance person to lift my chair up off the speed bump. She asked me if I had intentionally done this. I informed her that I had tried to go around to the lowest point but it did not help.

I told her that if she could not send someone I would call 911. I also told her that if anything happened to my Hoveround they would be responsible for replacement. I then called Hoveround and they said they would send someone out on Monday the 6th of August. Within 10 minutes the maintenance people showed up and it took them 20 minutes to lift my Hoveround off the speed bump.

I then took pictures of my Hoveround and the speed bump. The maintenance people could not believe that I was documenting what was happening. I told them that since my legs are undependable this was very disturbing to me. I asked them if it was a relative of theirs what would they do.

By the time I got home I had a call from David of corporate telling me he and several others would be making a visit to me on the 8th of August 2007. They asked if I would put off the TV interview until I had talked to them. I advised them that one station wanted to talk to me the 13th of August 2007. I dvised I would meet with them, but they would have to come and pick me up at my residence.

I have made a disk of all the pictures to give to them. I also have the case worker with the Americans with Disabilties, I have kept a journal of each time I have talked to anyone. I have made sure to cross my T's and dot my I's.
I will let you know what happens. I do believe that this time they will leave me alone with my greenhouse and the extension of my deck.

I went on the internet and found out that the parent company of CMH Parks/Homes in Maryville Tennessee has a total of 7 lawsuite against them. Several cities are suing them for false representation. The city of Arlington for over 170 million. They have one also from the State of Texas.

I love what I found out it gives me more ammunition to fight back with. I advised the Manager that I had 3 Doctors who had written letters to the effect that the Greenhouse was a theraputic outlet for me. I also advised her that Medicare said that I was entitled to a Hot Tub due to my illness. They are also sending out a letter to me that I can show to them.

I am documenting everything I do and all I talk to and the date and time with the name of the person. I found out the CEO address and telephone number of the main company. I left a message for this person on June 26 2007. I will wait until June 28 2007 then I will call back and start with this person and go down the ladder of Executives until I get an answer.

My husband said that they never should have told me I could not have this because that really gets me to thinking how I can come back against them the legal way. I have a cousin who is an Assistant DA who used to be a Judge who is giving me legal advice on how to speak and word the letters that I have sent out.

I will preserve and make sure that they listen to me. I also can call the Investigative Reporters with the various TV Stations in this area. This would seem to be right up their alley.

As I said I will not give up until I have gone from the top CEO to the Janitor if I have to. Wish me luck.

Moving might be your best option unless you can accept the situation. I doubt things will get better. You could web search "controlling personalities", "dramatic personalities", and so on.

The local road is private property, so it is unclear if the 'Federal Government' and/or 'Texas Government' have any influence. PUBLIC accomodations and public rights-of-way w/r/t streets, curbs and speed bumps would be a different matter. Check with your state gov't. Most states have official websites. If one is available to you, like Texas.gov, peruse it.

But if you do rain the goverent hounds down upon these people, they will then make you life hell, which brings us back to "Moving might be your best option unless you can accept the situation."
