Regan Schaar and Nick Schaar Rip Off Small Business Owner but Splurge on Multimillion Dollar Home

Regan Schaar and Nick Schaar, owners of Schaar Homes (aka California Buildings Inc.) have shown their true, excessively wealthy opinion of those they deem to be in the lower caste. Mr. and Mrs. Schaar hired my company to provide party rental services for one of their lavish parties at one of their multi-million dollar properties in September of 2012. My business is small so I was extremely greatful for the $2,245 I was going to earn.

Mrs. Schaar was one of those customers a business owner dreads. Bossy, demanding, insulting and prone to frequent obscenities. No matter how nice I was to her, she demanded more and more with major silver-spoon attitude. However, $2,245 meant a lot to me at that time and I was willing to overlook her profane and juvenile behavior. I always thought someone of wealth had a certain level of class but not Regan Schaar. Mrs. Schaar had a debutant's attitude with a sailors mouth. She is the true example that the phrase the customer is always right is horrifically wrong. But, the money was too good to pass up and I've dealt with her type before. I just told myself to do the job, get paid and get it over with.

The problem is that Regan Schaar and Nick Schaar have decided they don't want to pay. I worked for them more than one year ago. I have reached out to them more than 20 times since Sept. 2012. I was able to speak to them on three different occasions and each time, they stated they had already paid but would look into it and get back to me. Shocker, they never "got back to me." I was always professional and courteous and even attempted to make it look like it was my fault and maybe I just lost their payment. Also, at the same time, there was a theft of several checks from our mailbox from other customers. In my 20+ phone and email messages and to try and give Regan and Nick Schaar an opportunity to "save face," I hinted that maybe their check was one of those stolen and if they had paid, please just send me a copy of the deposited check so we could clear things up. I was hoping this would prompt them to just pay and be responsible people. I was able to reach Mrs. Schaar on one occasion and she rudely instructed me she had paid and would provide proof of either the deposited check or that she had filed a fraud claim and that she would get back to me. She then hung up on me when she was done lecturing me. This was in April 2013. I've never heard back from her until Nov. 22, 2013, after I threatened her with a lawsuit.

Keep in mind, they never complained about my services and they acknowledged I provided a superior product.

After my 20+ attempt to get them to pay, I finally stopped being "nice" and made a subtle reference at taking them to small-claims court and suing them. Amazingly, I got an almost immediate return phone call from Mrs. Schaar. From the moment I answered the phone Mrs. Schaar was screaming obscenities and ranted and insulted me for 5 to 10 minutes. She threatened me and my company. I listened to her childish outbursts without interrupting her once. She screamed at the top of her lungs about how she had already paid and about how she had filed a fraud claim with her bank.

The funny thing is that in my 20+ efforts to communicate with them, I requested for them to provide copies of their alleged deposited check or record of their filed bank fraud claim. This would easily prove her statements. but I have never received the requested proof.

Instead of providing proof of her payment, Regan Schaar and Nick Schaar have resorted to verbal threats and harassment. In the last 3 days, Mr. and Mrs. Schaar have either called me or emailed me more than 30 times obscenely attacking me or threatening me. Their phone calls and emails all contain the same theme which includes profane insults and threats. All because I asked them to pay or provide proof of payment.

For the record, Regan Schaar and Nick Schaar have stated multiple times that they submitted copies of the deposited check to me and that they filed a bank fraud claim. I've informed them I never received their alleged check copy and that their bank never contacted me for my affidavit which is required for this type of claim. Their stories have changed repeatedly so that at one point the check copy was unreadable to they are scared to provide me proof of the deposited check because I might be a scammer. They can't provide a bank fraud report because either their bank won't give them a report or most recently, they only filed a verbal report.

They have now agreed to pay but a lesser amount than contracted. But in an email just received, they now say their bank won't mail to my company PO Box.

Keep in mind, included with their many excuses are ongoing threats, insults and uncontrollable language. Their messages have become so threatening that I have filed an official police report against them in my city as well as the city they live in, Malibu.

Be aware, if you are contracted to work for Regan Schaar and Nick Schaar of Schaar Homes and California Buildings, Inc., make sure to get paid in full before you spend one minute working for them. There is a highly likely chance based on my experience with them that you are unlikely be paid while being abused by them. If you are a customer of these horrible people, make sure you get everything in writing before you pay them a penny because you will probably end up in court with them.

You also need to put on your big boy pants because at some point, you will be verbally attacked and insulted.

You have been warned, Regan Schaar and Nick Schaar of Schaar Homes and California Buildings, Inc. are frauds, thieves and beneath contempt. Work with them at your own risk.

Won One for the Little Guy! Customer Paid!!

AUTHOR: David - ()

POSTED: Friday, April 25, 2014

Victory!

Within 24 hours of posting my report here, an attorney representing the Schaars contacted me to work out payment arrangements.

According to the belligerent and insulting Mrs. Schaar, she had already paid me.

I don't understand why she would pay me a second time if what she said was true.

I love this website. I know there are a lot of fraudulent people who use Rip Off Report for nefarious reasons but I would have never seen a penny of my money without this website.

Keep up the great work Rip Off Report!!!

Regan Schaar of Schaar Homes Harasses Elderly Ladies

AUTHOR: David - ()

POSTED: Monday, November 25, 2013

Update to original report -

Regan Schaar Criminal Actions - www.schaarhomes.com

Regan Schaar - www.californiabuildingsinc.com - Harasses and threatens elderly women

Regan Schaar makes threats to an elderly lady.

Mrs. Schaar has been repeatedly asked to stop contacting me and just pay for work I completed for her in Sept. 2012. Every phone call includes her threats, screams and taunts. After taking her last call today, I informed her I was filing a harassment charge against her, which I did immediately after hanging up on her. I filed harassment charges against her in my town in Oklahoma and in her city of Malibu, CA.

Regan Schaar proceeded to call me and email me four more times within one hour of filing harassment charges.

But wait, now Regan Schaar has stooped to the lowest level and has started attacking my family.

Tonight, Regan Schaar of Schaar Homes and California Buildings Inc. somehow found the personal phone number of my elderly mother (77 years old). After my widowed mother was in bed, Regan Schaar (husband Nick Schaar) called my mother's personal phone number. She proceeded to scream obscenities at my kind mother, waking her from bed. Regan Schaar then informed my mother that she had the personal phone number of one of my brothers and would be contacting him next. Regan Schaar then went on a rant threatening me, again. My mother immediately called me after Regan Schaar ended the conversation hurling insults and curses at my mother. My mother was extremely frightened and in tears asking me if she needed to leave her retirement home for a safe place. I was able to calm her down but she is distraught and worried about my safety and the safety of my eight-year-old daughter.

All because I asked Regan Schaar to pay me for work completed more than a year ago.

Regan Schaar has shown she is abusive and uncontrollable. She has shown harassing behavior and refuses to leave me alone. Unfortunately, the state of California is unlikely to pursue criminal charges against Mrs. Schaar because of their budgetary problems. This is a very minor case in the scheme of things.

I'm at wits end. What can be done to stop crazy, abusive people with money and power like Mrs. Schaar? How do I protect myself and my family from someone who has wealth and time she can just throw away? I'm a hard-working, small business owner just trying to get paid. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?

Please help.
