COMPLAINT INFORMATION:

Date Received:2/8/2006 3:52:16 PM

Primary Complaint Classification: Refund Practices

Secondary Complaint Classification: Contract Disputes

Complaint:

On November 16, 2005, our company, Dodds Athletic Tours, authorized a refundable deposit of $3200 to place a hold on some coaches for possible use at the Peach Bowl. On December 5th, we knew that we would not need them so we cancelled them over the phone with LaShondra. She said the refund was coming. Since then, we have spoken with Mr. Agurd numerous times each time promising that "yes, the payment is coming...I'll do it right now." And nothing happens. In talking with some of his employees, they have said that "Prince" says not to give out any information about him or where he is to anyone...also, he has changed the name of his company from Budget Motorcoach to Prince Motorcoach to BMC Limousines or even Agbonze Taxi (Which is what the charge went through on). Further, his employees have indicated that we are not the first people to not get their money back and in fact, he has gone to court about his business license several times and laughs about the "slap on the wrist".

It is clear to us that Mr Agurd or Agbonze or whatever his name is, is deliberatly trying to defraud us and probably many other customers. We are seeking legal action as we speak and will be actively engaged in a letter campaign alerting various hotels and businesses in the Atlanta area about this swindler.

We will be doing whatever we can do to see this "Prince" prosecuted and sued out of existence. Thank you for any help you can provide.
