Kurt Schmidt of Des Plains, Illinois has unleashed an all out assault on me and my family since Kurt has slandered me in a complaint to usacomplaints.com.Com and other public forums, Kurt claimed that I stole $30,000.00 from him, Kurt harassed me with emails and even eluded to rape of my girlfriend and daughter (of which he was arrested in 2008)
What Kurt posted about me is all false information, as the owner of Contractors Network Corp.
I am very concerned about my reputation. The facts are I entered into a contract with Kurt Schmidt of Des Plains to finish his basement. The contract price was about $34,000.00. We started the project a agreed and progressed on schedule until Mr. Schmidt ripped out the heating duct work stating that it was installed wrong and the seams were no taped.
The duct work was dry fit by our HVAC contractor and was scheduled to be fastened and taped the following day, but instead of asking Kurt ripped it out costing us a 2 day delay.
During the following weeks Mr. Schmidt added extra drywall work, plumbing work and a kitchenette to the project. At this point we were about 95% done with the original contract work and had received all but $7,000.00. The extra work was a
total of $7,000.00 and 80% of that work was completed.
I requested payment for the extra work ($7,000.00) which Kurt refused to pay. I had no choice but to refuse to do anymore work until he caught up on his payments. Kurt was sent a demand letter from my attorney stating this and he refused to bring the contracted payments current.
Mr. Schmidt filed a complaint with the BBB which he quickly removed with a letter from our attorney. Mr Schmidt trie to file a complaint with the Illinois State Attorney General which was found to be a false claim. Mr. Schmidt then made death threats to me and My family and was arrested by the cook county sheriff and a order of restraint was issued for him to
not have any contact with me or my family (The arrest is public record with the cook county courts, check it out) The other names he has on this site are not companies but project names for ventures being contemplated.
Mr. Schmidt has opened gmail accounts and facebook accounts in my name (in my opinion) and continues to post false information about me using different names, acting as if he is many people.
I have done business in the Chicago area for 27 years and have hundreds of satisfied customers that actually pay for the work.
