Clean Edison Didn't Pay Us For Use of Our Home Nationwide

In March of 2013, we entered into a contract with Clean Edison for use of our home as a test site for one of their classes.  They agreed to pay us $240 in exchange for leaving the home for two weekend days while the test was administered to their students.

As of April 29, 2014, more than a year after our home was used, we have still not been paid for the use of our home.  We have engaged in an endless stream of email and telephone communication with various employees of the company, including Allison Simon and Daniel Yashchin.  Through an acquaintance, we also understand that our complaint has been escalated to Avi Yashchin and others.  We have been told at least twice that "the check is in the mail."

This has, needless to say, been an extremely frustrating experience.  I certainly would not jump to create this item if it had not been such a long, timeconsuming and fruitless endeavor to get the money we are contractually owed.  At this point I am reduced to filing a small court claim against Clean Edison.  I had hoped to avoid this given the time and expenses it will require.

We are at a complete loss to understand why obtaining payment for the use of our home has been so difficult.  One would imagine that $240 is a drop in the bucket of their monthly expenses.

It may be that the classes provided by Clean Edison are beneficial to their students. That said, given the relatively minor amount at stake, it would seem that the failure to pay is a result, at best, of either insolvency or incompetence or, at worst, an unethical approach to business.  At the very least, I'd recommend that anyone considering renting their home to Clean Edison proceed with caution.
