Heya Folks!
In May one of my Trees in my backyard went down in a wind storm (cracked in half). I found a local company in the Yellow pages that removes trees and they came out. They quoted me $375 for removal of tree as well as the stump. I said go for it. They came out the next day and removed the tree, however didn't remove the stump. They said they would be back in a few days to remove it. So I paid them by check (most of the work was done anyways).
A week goes by, and my stump is still there. I call the guy and he apologizes up and down and says "This weekend for sure, we'll be out to take care of it". Another week goes by, and my stump is still there. Call the guy, leave voicemail. No return call. Call the guy, no return call. This has now been going on since about May 15th! My wife and I have both been calling him multiple times per week, even from different phones - no response.
What options here? It will cost me another $50 to have the stump removed from another company. I don't know if it's even worth it to sue the guy for $50 - or if he'd even show up anyways. He already has complaints against him with the BBB. His ad in the yellow pages says he's Licensed and Bonded - hell if I can even find a license in the State of MI to file a complaint against.
Thanks for any advice in advance!
