Carpetland Metropolitan, LLC

This past November, I purchased a carpet from the Carpet Land store in Falls

Church. An employee scratched the paint of the roof of my Jeep by sliding

the carpet without any protection. A significant amount of paint was

scratched off, all the way to the front of the roof.

After speaking with the manager and calling the supervising manager, no one

was willing to accept any responsibility or offer any help. In fact, they

blamed ME for not accepting their delivery service (for an additional $

35)!!!

After a few more weeks of trying to negotiate a satisfactory resolution to

this matter and after being rebuffed each time, I finally sued them in Small

Claims Court in Fairfax, VA.

On May 4, 2007, I was awarded by the court almost $ 2,000 in damages & court

costs. Nearly two months later, they have yet to pay a single penny. They

claim they don't have enough money, but every week they can afford to run

expensive ads in the Washington Times (and possibly in The Washington Post).

Please warn consumers to stay away from Carpet Land / Mattress Land

stores!!!

Thank you,

Hernando Herrera
