Summary of Dispute

He was contacted via email and text by a man named William Holmes who said he owned my house and wanted a new concrete driveway poured because he was selling the house. He proceeded to excavate the driveway on said date and my renter tried to stop his employees. They said they had a signed contract for this job. My renter again told them he was on the phone wirh the owner of the home and she did not authorize this. Chris showed up shortly thereafter and showd my tenant the signed copy of an agreement between he and William Holmes. The driveway was completely excavated by this time. He put all the dirt he dug up back in the driveway along with big clumps of grass he tore up. I had a phone conversation with him and he realized he had been scammed. I asked him since he already tore the driveway up if he would just remove the dirt and I would pay someone else to pour the concrete. He proceeded to get angry and said he wasnt doing anything for free.

Summary of Transaction Venue's Actions

The driveway is still the same. He will not finish the escavating because he doesnt feel its his problem. I contacted States Attorney’s office. They cant do anything to help me. There is a police report filed thru Sangamon County Sherrifs office. I have owned this house for over 20 years. I feel he needs to make it right. He never got any money from the man who hired him bur he wants me to pay him to haul the dirt away. I find it very disturbing that someone can come on your property and tear up the driveway and then leave and say “ take me to court if you want but I have a contract” from an anonymous person who probably does not exist
