On November 6th, my husband and I entered into an agreement with Mr. Jon Vivio of Classic Cabinet Fronts LLC for the purchase and installation of kitchen cabinets. We paid Mr. Vivio $3,500 cash down as a one-third deposit for the project. Subsequently, it became very difficult to reach Mr. Vivio by telephone. Months went by but all that we received from Mr. Vivio (when we could talk to him) were vague promises about the status of the kitchen cabinets Mr. Vivio was supposed to have ordered from a company in the northeast. He has never been able to offer any documented proof that the kitchen cabinets were actually ordered.
Because of his non-performance we cancelled the contract and demanded return of our $3,500 deposit. Mr. Vivio contacted us late in December stating that we would “not have to hound him for the money.” To date (February 21), he has not returned our cash deposit of $3,500. We have contacted an attorney and are filing suit against Mr. Vivio in the St. Charles County Circuit Court for non-performance and fraud. Our attorney is seeking not only the $3,500 but also compensatory damages, attorney's fees, and court cost for Mr. Vivio's fraudulent actions. We also discovered from our attorney that he already has $15,000 in legal judgments against him which he has never paid. He has three grievances filed against him on the Better Business Bureau Website.
