I was told by these people I would have to pay $125 cash upon arrival before my appliance could even be looked at, but that the $125 would be credited towards the final bill. After the repairman looked at the oven, I was told I had to pay a balance of $479 now, and that they would return in a week to repair it. I wrote the $479 check to repair my thermador oven which I was told had a bad computer in the hood.

That night, after investigating, I found out I was being overcharged, so I contracted out to another company to repair the stove. I asked the original company to tear my $479 check up because I found another company to repair my oven, at a much better price. I was willing to take a loss of the original $125 cash I paid for the house call. The service manager told me they were willing to reduce the price $150. I said still I didn't want to use them (the other company was still cheaper, even after sacrificing the original $150). I was told that my $479 check would be torn up.

A few days later, I found out my check was cashed. Stupid me had failed to put a stop payment on the check. I couldn't believe a business would actually cash my check when no service was ever performed.

I contacted the company several times and was told I was not getting a refund, even though the service was never done.

DO NOT TRUST THESE COMPANIES!!!!

All Brands Appliance, Checkmate, Reliance Bel TV VCR in Long Island

AUTHOR: Tina - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, April 07, 2005

According to the Better Business Bureau, this firm does business under the following names:

AAA Active Appliance Fast Service
AAA All Brand Appliance
All Brands Appliance
Appliance Company
Bel TV VCR -Centereach
Checkmate Appliance - Active Appliance -Reliance
Reliance Appliance - Active Appliance - Checkmate

These firms are listed in the top 10 list of worst offenders on the Suffolk County Consumer Affairs Warning Website.

I reported this company to the Criminal Frauds Bureau. The Chief of the Criminal Frauds Bureau told me if the firm did not return my stolen money, that he would file Petty Larceny charges against the firm.

In 2001, the Nassau Country District Attorney announced criminal charges against the firm, after performing a sting operation. See www.nassauda.org/dawebpage/pressreleases/house%20sting%20release.htm for the story.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE CRIMINALS!!!
