My airconditioning company was contracted by metway real estate to report on an air conditioning unit at one of metways listings. We reported our findings and waited for further instructions from eric rogers. He again called us and asked us to re visit the site knowing that for the safety of myself and of my staff, each visit required the hire of a lifting platform for gaining access to the comercial propertys roof. On two further ocasions we were asked again to visit site and give further quotes on work needed and told by ERIC ROGERS that our quote was the best and that we were in pole possition to recieve the job quoted for. After not hearing anymore, i faxed an invoice to metway for the agreed costs of platforms and labour, but had no payment made. I would like to say also that this was in the middle of summer and we were extremely busy with our normal work load and we dropped everything to try and impress what we thought was a company of some standing. After trying to contact ERIC ROGERS by phone and just being hung up on, i decided to go into his beaufort st office and find out if there were any problems. ERIC ROGERS told me he haddnt recieved my invoice and to send another one " i assure you it will be paid straight away" were his words to me as he smiled and walked us out the door. The next day i again went to ERIC ROGERS office and presented him with the invoice hed asked for@ a lower price because by then i just wanted to cover my costs. ERIC told me he would pay it straight away. One week later, i had still not been paid and phoned ERIC ROGERS for an explination. He told me i had waited too long to hand in my invoice and the money from the sale of property had been spent, therefore nothing left for me. He also stated that the owners of the propperty we had worked on had given the purchaser a discount because of moneys needed to be spent on the air con unit. I went to the new owners of the building who told me this was rubbish. Since then i have tried countless time to find out what the problem is only to hear ERIC ROGERS fumble his words and lie to my face. He has twice told me not to enter his building and admited that he cant respond because of 'fear of getting myself into trouble" I give ERIC ROGERS another chance now to do the right thing and offer him my word that if he makes the payment and gives me the real reason for going cold... I will take no further action against him or metway. My business has suffered a huge amount this year because of real estates not paying, this will not go away ERIC ROGERS. I have work orders sent to me via email from metway asking me to carry out this work. Surely the commision on a million dollar sale would leave a little for the contractors you engaged to make such a handover possible? Did the other contractors who also quoted get paid or was this just a personal thing?
