Wes,
I have everything documented including photos and all the documents related to my defective home and the fraud committed. If you check out my website album on Webshots you can see for yourself what I'm dealing with. I'm mad as heck and I'm not backing down, it's been six years now and I've had it with HCD/HUD and their excuses. TAISMHO yes!!
Everyone is all talk and no action Wes, so I'm curious to see what you have to offer on my situation. George Porter says I have a good case. I have all the problems you stated and then some. You signed up on my yahoo group complaint database under an alias name (nocturne_39) for which you only left advertising for your site. I would never even think of doing that to someone, I have spent a vast amount of time putting most of the info available in your book on my yahoo group for free to try to help others not get burned like I have been and am being currently. So, I'm here and I'd like to know right up front if you just want us to buy or if you are serious about a 'lawsuit' because the clock is ticking and I'm very serious about working together, because I have a good case and I've been talking with top officials at HCD, and if they get away with this BIG ONE, you all might as well give up. Make your own decision, check it out for yourself. I just wish someone would s**t or get off the pot, I need more people fighting with me that have defective construction (defective installation) that you reported by officially making a complaint with the Mobile Home Ombudsman as long as 4 years ago, and now they're not even following the laws, and right now it's only me fighting with them (HCD) and if you keep current on HCD's website (CA) things are happening in exactly that area, SETUP AND INSTALLATION. They are trying to make us believe that there has never been any laws regarding how to install/setup a manufactured home. I've got proof of fraud and collusion, so before me and my 2 special needs children (11, 5) die in this substandard box, I'd like to know where the real honest men in this society are. I'm very disappointed after 6 years of this nightmare.

: I’m trying to put together a listing
: of people who have been taken
: advantage of, who were sold a
: defective home, who had an improper
: set up, or who were unable to get
: warranty support from the
: manufactured housing industry. The
: reason for this is primarily to
: explore the possibilities of
: litigation, and secondarily to
: provide an additional resource for
: manufactured home owners. I know
: that most buyers have been made to
: sign arbitration clauses, but such
: clauses are not always binding,
: depending on your state law and the
: exact wording of your particular
: agreement. The general idea is to
: give people a better idea of others
: who have experienced the same type
: of problem in their geographic
: region and to see what legal
: remedies might be available to them.
: Even if a class action lawsuit would
: not be possible with respondents,
: such sharing of information should
: aid individual lawsuits (for
: instance, allowing different
: plaintiffs to share depositions
: regarding a particular manufacturer
: or problem – which would strengthen
: their cases while decreasing overall
: costs). If this is something you
: would like to explore with me,
: please contact me with some basic
: information: 1. The type problem or
: problems you had. Did it involve
: fraud, a defective home, a defective
: set up, or warranty problems?
: 2. The manufacturer (and specific
: model if possible) of your home and
: the date purchased.
: 3. Your contact information.
: Preferably an e-mail address, a
: phone number if you’re willing to
: share it, and the city and state you
: live in.
:
: I would also like to hear from
: anyone who has experience in
: bringing lawsuits against the
: industry whether successful or
: unsuccessful. Any attorneys with
: proposals or suggestions are
: particularly requested to contact
: me. I would prefer if this
: information (both from a consumer
: end and a legal perspective) is sent
: via the feedback form on this page:
: http://www.manufacturedhomebuyers.com/feedback.htm
: Your information will not be sold,
: you won’t be put on a mailing list,
: or anything else. (I am deluged with
: spam myself, and wouldn’t wish it on
: anyone.) If I do receive substantial
: feedback, I will e-mail everyone one
: time to share what I’ve learned and
: to share contact information so
: members of the pool can contact
: other consumers with similar
: problems or other customers in their
: area. If it looks like something
: more is possible on a group scale,
: that will be discussed, too. If an
: attorney offers to help, that
: information will be directly shared
: with everyone – and there won’t be
: any kickbacks or stipulations.
: That’s it in a nutshell, so to
: speak. If you know of anyone else
: who might be interested, please let
: them know about this, too. The
: success of this venture depends on
: the number of people who are willing
: to get involved. Thanks in advance
: to anyone who can help!
:
: On a side note, my web site has what
: I feel is a really good list of
: resources for anyone who has a
: manufactured home or who is
: considering one (dozens of links for
: manufactured housing consumers,
: homeowner groups, government
: resources, manufacturer web sites,
: and even a number of books on the
: subject of manufactured housing):
: http://www.manufacturedhomebuyers.com/housing%20links.htm
: Please don’t buy one of these homes
: without doing your homework, or the
: chances are good that you will
: regret it. Use the resources that
: are available. If you want a chance
: to win one of ten Amazon.com Lucky
: Breaks shopping sprees being given
: away (each worth $1,000), please go
: to this page as well:
: http://www.manufacturedhomebuyers.com/jbgrafx/shopping.htm
: . The entry form is quick and easy.
: (Warning for the guys: it’s for
: beauty supplies – but your wife or
: girlfriend will love you for it!)
: Contest ends April 30th, so hurry!
