USA Home Buyer John Tebbetts, Josh Gossett (same guy I think) mortgage Fraud, scam, title floating, texas teacher Harlingen, Texas

Carla - why did you take down the YouTube videos? Do you really think that they can win a suit against someone they tossed out TWO DAYS before Christmas? Seems to me like somebody finally stood up to their actions, and they are scared enough that they are suing just to try to scare you *more*. 

Notice how they slip in the bits about your alleged lifestyle, calling your common law husband your "client," and talking about crack pipes and whatnot. It's funny, I very occasionally do crack (mostly sell it though), and have had to offer my "services" every now and then (I am a guy, BTW), and yet look! My mortgage bills get paid! So much for their insinuation that you did not pay just because they have a problem with your lifestyle!

Carla, these types of bullies always fold after a while IF you are persistent enough, and will give you the $5,000 they took from you just to make you go away. So post those videos; we here at Ripoff Report want to see them!

Here is some of what I lost.

Ms. Strange, the alleged victim in this situation, is going to "continue forever" spreading lies about me until I give her some money. Specifically, a $5000 dollar down payment that Tom Karnes made on the condo to USAhomebuyer, and money for her furniture that she
lost while being evicted because she would not come and pick it up. She is nothing more than a con artist and an extortionist. She is threatening me and saying she will only stop this if I give her money that was never hers. Mr.Karnes put down the money on the condo, Mr. Karnes paid the first month rent, and Mr. Karnes bought her furniture while they were claiming to be married. Mr. Karnes already has a wife and is not to date divorced. Ms. Strange claims that they were common law married because they lived together, but since it is illegal to have more than one wife, this is impossible. None of the money was in any way hers. She had the opportunity to avoid this eviction by paying her bills.  She is out no money and in fact had a free place to live for three and a half months. I should be suing her for messing up my condo.

I will not contest that the papers that she has presented above are truthful. Tom Karnes did agree to purchase the condo from USA  Homebuyer on September 14th, 2011. There was a $5000 down payment made and one payment of $850 that you see the receipt for above. But here is a news flash for Ms. Strange, you still have to pay your monthly mortgage payments and HOA fees or your dont get to keep your house; as she found out. When I bought that condo, I put down $10K, but the bank still insists that I pay my mortgage payment every month. If I dont, they will foreclose. I cant just tell them, I put money into this house, so you cant take it. It doesnt work that way. Ms. Strange has claimed to me many times that she has all her receipts. I see only Octobers receipt for rent. If you have them all Ms. Strange, I would love to see them.
 
I have copied below two email exchanges between myself and the HOA manager. Now understand that my name is still on the deed, note, and lien against this house. If Ms. Strange were to up and leave the house, before being evicted, I would still be responsible for all payments that she had not made. The two months she was behind on rent and the three months she was behind on HOA  fees came to a total of $2282.00. If I had continued to let her stay in the home, I have no doubt that she would have continued to avoid her financial responsibilities. That total would have continued to grow.
 
This is my email to the HOA manager.

Holly,

I just had a quick question for you. Was the HOA fee paid by Carla in October? Has it been paid her this month yet? She is being very combative with me in finding a solution to this problem. I am just trying to gather any information that I can. Please email me. I appreciate your help.

This is her response to me.

Josh,

I do not show any record of payment from her or Tom.Sent from my iPhone, please excuse any grammatical errors.
 
Kindest Regards,

What anyone reading this report needs to realize is the kind of woman that is making these allegations. She is a former porn actress and prostitute by her own admission. Now, I dont judge and being a porn actress/producer is not illegal, however prostitution is illegal. She has been evictedtwice before for the same thing that I evicted her for. (See link below)

She stole the property out of this house she was evicted from and was subsequently arrested and charged with felony theft, along with two other charges.  (see link below)

She operated an illegal dog breeding business without a license. She was reported for selling sick dogs to people and charged with animal cruelty multiple times. (see links below)

When doing the eviction of Ms. Strange from my condo, I found and turned over to the constable multiple illegal drug paraphernalia items.  We found a used crack pipe sitting on the kitchen counter. We found all the equipment and set up required to make and process crack cocaine. We found marijuana seeds and pots that appeared to have had plants in them just hours before. This is the kind of woman that has the audacity to post a complaint about being evicted from my home.

Ms. Strange is an excuse maker. Nothing that has ever happened in her life is her own fault. Nothing that has happened to any of her relatives is there fault. She has an excuse for everything. An excuse for why she didnt pay her rent, an excuse for why she wouldnt pay the HOA fees, an excuse for why she didnt show up to court for the eviction proceedings after send me multiple threatening emails saying she would be there, an excuse for why she didnt respond to the eviction letter with an appeal in the allotted five days, and an excuse for why she could not return any calls or emails to work this situation out before eviction was pursued.

She posted multiple libelous videos on Youtube.com about me and USAHomebuyer.net. She has since taken most of them down for fear of legal action by Mr. Tebbetts or I as a result of these videos. This goes way beyond the 1st amendment right of free speech. These are flat out lies with absolutely no truth. She may not be happy with her eviction and no one reading this has to be. The fact is that I had every legal right to evict her. So whether or not it was mean, harsh, or right is irrelevant. It was legal.

   

here is alot of my reciepts and contract from John Tebbetts and Josh Gossett, note all recepts came from USA Home Buyers....... I will also post the eviction papers from HERB EVANS Justice of the precint 5 for Austin Texas

This rebuttal is being posted by John Tebbetts, the owner of USA Home Buyer... We take all consumer complaints seriously, and always do our best to assure complete customer satisfaction.  However, we do not tolerate totally unfounded, baseless claims such as this one by Carla Holland Strange.

Ms. Strange was not even the purchaser of this home from USA Home Buyer.  Instead, she devised a scheme, in which she convinced a "client" from one of her sexually-oriented businesses to pay a $5,000 down payment for her toward the purchase of a condominium from USA Home Buyer.

About a week after the sale of the condo to Ms. Strange's "client" was finalized, the client called USA Home Buyer, and asked if we would add the name of his "wife" to the contract.  As a courtesy to the buyer, we agreed, and added Carla Holland Strange to the Installment Sale Contract.  However, none of the money advanced toward the sale came from Ms. Strange.

Shortly after moving into the condo, her so-called "client" abandoned the property and Ms. Strange altogether.  Consequently, Ms. Strange abandoned any need to make further payments.  Title to the property (the deed) had subsequently been transferred to Mr. Gossett (of whom she also complains), and Mr. Gossett had no alternative but to evict her for non-payment.

Ms. Strange was properly served with a summons to appear in the eviction proceeding.  She posted numerous slanderous and libelous videos on the Internet relating to USA Home Buyer, myself and Josh Gossett, stating that she fully intended to present evidence of some type of fraud, or that Mr. Gossett and myself were actually the same person, etc.  On the day she was summoned to appear in court she failed to do so, and an order of eviction was issued.  Ms. Strange subsequently asked the Court to reverse its order, and the order was upheld.

I would also encourage readers of her complaint to carefully read the letter written to her from USA Home Buyer, which she has included in the body of her complaint.  The letter clearly corroborates what Mr. Gossett and myself have said in rebuttal.  It may also be helpful for readers to know that at the present time, our legal counsel is in the process of suing Ms. Strange for her slanderous and libelous postings on the Internet, including the one posted here.

I can be reached for comment on this complaint and rebuttal at (888) 631-2711, or through our website at USAHomeBuyer.net    

Ms. Strange owner financed a home, without doing a title search, that had a previous lien against it. I was the original owner of the house. Due to financial trouble, Mr. Tebbetts was forced to relinquish possession of the property back to me, along with Ms. Strange's contact to buy the home.

Upon research, I found that Ms. strange was two months behind on house payments and had not paid the HOA fees since inhabiting the property. After over a month of trying to come to a peaceful resolution to this situation, I was forced to evict Ms. Strange. In this month and a half, I was continually badgered with threatening email, slanderous youtube videos, and libelous emails sent to my school administrators.

Ms. strange had ample opportunity to present evidence to support her claims. She opted not to take advantage of her opportunities. She has reportedly made outlandish claims: John Tebbetts and I are the same person; there was a conspiracy between myself, honorable judge Herb Evans, and Travis county to "screw" her; that I "stole her million dollar potion" while evicting her.

I ask that she present evidence to support any of her claims before this report is published or taken seriously. I would be more than happy to discuss this further with anyone that wants to hear more. Just google her name and you can see that this is not the first time that this has happened to her. She is a felon with a history of being evicted for not paying her bills.
