It seems clear that after Miss Potvin signed the agreement that included a $1500 discount for levelling, labour and included compensation for 1/2 day of her missing work, she had no intention of paying us.
Thank you Miss Potvin for verifying that we provided you with an estimate, an approximate calculation of a job that may or may not require adjustments. Also, once again, a credit card authorization was signed by you for the balance owed permitting us to run your card.
Miss Potvin is negligent in advising you, the consumer, that the reason there was $4k added to her job was that her floor required extensive amounts of levelling to make the product she chose be able to be installed and be warrantied by the manufacturer. Once we remove the floor, we have to assess what the correct plan of action to take. Let me be clear, no one forced her to sign the agreement that she signed. Furthermore, the install agreement that was also signed by Miss Potvin clearly stated that payment is required within 48hours of completion to which we put through the payment. We also have recorded phoning her over 5 times to which we received no response to ensure she was aware. Moreover, our accountant can verify that Miss Potvin agreed that the amount owed was "correct and in order" and at only such time that we asked for our remaining payment, she held us hostage by saying "what are you going to compensate me with for my time and energy," and when we responded we felt the install was honoured, she claimed going to lawyer.
