David took our order and our 50% deposit for a tiny house in mid February of 2017, saying that our unit was already half built and that it could easily be delivered by April. April, May and June came and went, and yet the unit still hadn't arrived, though several delivery dates were set (problems always arose, and the delivery dates came and went). We finally asked for our deposit back. David texted that he would get it to us within 45 days. He then sold the unit for much more than we were going to pay for it (my wife and kids were friends with his wife and kids, so we were given a deal). That was in late summer, and we're still waiting to get our deposit back. David rarely answers his phone, and you can't leave a voicemail. Every now and then, he responds to texts. Several times, he's texted me that the money was in his bank, and that his bank would be calling me to wire it on this day... and then that day... and then yet another day. All those dates came and went. And now David has once again stopped responding to texts. We will keep pursuing this. Just as the other party is doing with a similar complaint over a similar time frame. He had me write the deposit check to Canyon Heights, which I didn't question at the time, since his wife and kids were family friends.
