Branko M.E.P. Branko Milic was hired to do plumbing and some electricl work for s small business owner in Des Plaines. Chicago, Illinois

Branko Milic ripped me off of over $10,000 by failing to perform HVAC work that I paid him for.  Same story he started work and never returned.  And I am just one of his many victims.  Search Cook County Courts and type "Branko Milic" as the defendant and you see the long list of poor customers like myself that have been ripped off by this guy.  He give every excuse in the book as to why he couldn't finish this one project (most don't even make sense) but when it's time to state his case in front of the judge, he didn't even show.  This is not an isolated incident.  Branko Milic is a regular rip-off artist who knows how to play the system.  It's not the customer who is from hell, it is this contractor: Branko Milic.  Avoid him like the plague.  I wish I did.  

I am having the same experiene with this contractor.  Doesn't want to finish, creates damage while he's there, has excuse after excuse and never shows.  He is the contractor from hell.  The only reason he is on the contractor list is because a contractor can't be kicked off unless their license is in bad standing.  Not completing work is not a valid reason to pull them from the Chicago List.  You thinik you're safe using the contractors on the list but you are not.    He knows the system and once he has your money he doesn't care about coming back.  I'm sure most people just give up and hire someone else to finish his job. 

This is an approved application with corrections, NOT A PERMIT. The permit in the window clearly states Dec 1, 2011 date of issue. As for the rest of your allegations, as i said before, this was only a dispute about refund monies. All other agencies , from the police to BBB, have closed this out. There was never any fraud or cheating( except trying to cheat me into giving you a full undeserved refund ). All else is just " rattling the cage". As I said before, I don't scare, I don't cheat. I am sure you have gotten your way with many people using these tactics but it ends here.

And one more time for the record:  Mr. Thoi is only entitled to a $1370.00 refund. If you want to end this game of character assassination  and  name calling I will refund him monies rightfully due him provided retractions and legal papers are signed by him. We can go "tit-for-tat " forever or put this to an amicable rest once and for all!

So I am attaching a copy of the permit issued on November 23, 2011.
We also have a copy of the check you promised Thoi if he signed your papers another scam on your part, we also have text messages you sent to Thoi promising to pay him his 2,500.00.
We also have a copy of a judgement against you for over 7,000 issued by the court.  If you are so innocent why did you not appear in court to fight these charges? why does every time any agency write to you do you just not answer?  why have you never argued the court findings?  your 30 days are up.  Why did you never return to finish the job before Thoi made all the phone calls to you that you never returned his calls.

You are not the nice man you claim to be because if you were you would have done what you said you were going to do and we would not be here today.  So you have been in business for 25 years, how many others have you cheated and scammed?

The photo supplied is permit posted in window dated 12/01/2011.
As I have said in my previous rebuttals , I told Mr. Thoi no plumbing work until permit was issued. Our contract called for completion by the 3rd of December, he wanted everything done and didn't care about time. Again, false statements of permit issued and picked up on 11/22/2011. I have no more to add.

Respectfully, Branko Milic

I too have pictures of what was done and I have a picture of the permit posted in the window dated 12,01,2012.   As for returning the money, work was done, I paid for the concrete cutting and excavation. I am entitled to those cost deductions.  Mr. Thoi paid more because I left the job when this money dispute started. As I have stated in previous rebuttal , Mr. Thoi has tried everything to get his way, I have fought every step with  the false  police report, false States Attorney complaint, false BBB complaint, false insurance claim( denied also ) and now desperate internet slander. My offer still stands of refund $1370 which is what is fair and due to Mr. Thoi. This internet of public opinion will not help him. We started the project, we had a disagreement about money. That is what this is all about. I did not steal his money. The refund I offered is fair.  This name calling and slander is beneath my dignity. I have been in business 25 years, if I was so bad as Mr. Thoi contends, I would have been out of business a long time ago. This is a classic over blown complaint that has sunk to threats, slander, and false complaints in order to frighten people into submission, sorry, but I don't frighten and  I fight for my good name.

Thank you very much Mr. Thoi , et al .

Really, we are the ones who are wrong?  What about all the text messages and phone calls made to you by Thoi, that Branko never responsed to, we do have pictures we can show to prove just what work this guy did do, and he is so wrong the permit was issued and picked up on November 22 2011.
Branko Milic changes his story to everyone who contacts him and once his story is proven wrong he never responds again  In January of 2012 he came to Thoi and presented notes for him to sign and notorize, and at that time he showed a copy of a cashiers check that he was supposed to give to Thoi after he signed the papers, he never returned.  in April he claimed that Thoi was just looking for someone to do the work cheaper, we proved that wrong by proving he paid more to have the job completed.  In april we have text messages showing that on April 21, 2012 he was going to give him all his money back, just another lie by Branko.

When he was summoned to small claims court to plead his case oops he never showed up, to tell his story of lies. We did win a judgement, Branko had 30 days to protest, he never did. 

He is the contractor from Hell, we are so looking forward to meeting with his lawyer and the courts will be interested also.

Mr Branko Milic has skated by many times, we will continue our fight until he is unable to do any work or spread any more of his tales of lies.

This job was to install plumbing for a nail salon. Mr. Thoi was informed that he could not do the work by himself, originally he wanted to "buy " my license which I told him was illegal! As we worked on the concrete floor, saw cutting( a total of seven days ) ,and breaking up and excavating the floor work for preparation for plumbing Mr. Thoi wanted all the work done prior to permit issuance. He was informed that no plumbing work would begin until I had a plumbing permit issued. Our contract stated that work was to be totally done by Dec3, 2011. We started demo a few days before Thanksgiving, paused for Thanksgiving holiday but the permit was still not ready. The permit was finally issued Dec1, 2011. Two days before our contract completion date. I notified Mr. Thoi about the problem, he argued that he wanted it done no matter what or return all his deposit, 2500. I said I will return deposit minus hard costs of $1130 , totaling $1370.00 to be refunded. He refused outright, this was our "avoided arbitration" ! He has thus started a defamation campaign of me by filing with the BBB ( case was dismissed  ), a police report of fraud in Des Plaines( case dismissed of no merit ), a complaint to the States Attorney ( case closed ). And now this internet misrepresentation about this project, liens, closed accounts, code violations,  and what have you.

He is the classic "customer from hell" that all good contractors know about, but I will fight every complaint tooth and nail. There are many times that customers are right about their bad experiences with contractors, and I have corrected many bad jobs out there,  but in this case Mr. Thoi is using the" I am the poor helpless customer" to max. advantage to receive sympathy/compensation he is not entitled to.

The final statements of Mr. Thoi are tantamount to defamation of character since our issue was strictly a  disagreement of refund amount. Since this report is now on the internet I will have my attorney now involved for damages.
