Here is something you can do to help solve a growing problem in Oklahoma regarding shoddy construction and breach of warranty. Builders are not building homes right, and they are not being held to even minimum building codes in many instances. We need your voice to put a stop to this, and to protect our most expensive possession.
Home Buyers in Oklahoma currently have no practical way to research builders before buying. The Attorney General's "consumer protection division" does not make complaints on file publicly available. Neither does the Better Business Bureau. Lawyers are not interested in low paying cases so home owners defrauded by a builder in Oklahoma do not have the legal recourse they probably assume they do. Builders are adding mandatory arbitration clauses to their contracts, which takes away your right to use the courts at all, and the arbitration services are biased—they want repeat business from builders. The Home builders in all states lobby to protect their interests, not the interests of home owners.
If you want to see better consumer protection on the biggest purchase of your life, please go to: http://www.petitiononline.com/oqrc/petition.html and sign this online petition to show your support for ACCOUNTABILITY from the home building industry. (Be sure to click BOTH buttons on the site to submit the signature.) Thank you!
