We wanted hurricane windows because I’m old and I don’t want to be worrying about it. During that week, which was the first week of the job, Matt and I negotiated on having the windows replaced in our house. “The first check we gave him was June 26, 2020. “He was supposed to repair - as the charges say, we gave him a 50% deposit,” said Stone. Now, Stone said Banks has $70,000 of her money. Just last week I was told by three emails, two or three emails, that an employee would be by my house last Friday to assess my house. He tells you he’s going to finish your house. Banks makes false pretenses of work that’s going to be done in the future. “It’s a systematic approach he – and I said years because this has been going on for years. Banks has made numerous promises, numerous written promises to me over the years,” said Stone.

When Stone’s remodel was supposed to begin, Hurricane Sally made landfall, pushing the start date back.

The total cost for the remodel of their vacant residence was $63,380. When Stone wanted work done on their home, she contacted Banks. In mid-June 2020, Jennifer Stone had a similar situation. “Matt Banks has impacted us financially by taking our $40,000 savings and providing no work and materials after more than 18 months when we learned we were not alone and learned there are so many much worse off than we are – displaced families, families who haven’t lived together in over two years, we decided we wanted him stopped more than we wanted just our restitution.” Plans in Jennifer Anderson home. “From there, I met two other local victims and began to scour through the people who reached out, old permits, notices of commencement, lawsuits, legal filings and identified over 50 other victims with over $3 million in deposits for no or minimal work done in three years.”Īnderson said her goal now is to stop him before he can take advantage of anyone else in the area. “I finally posted a nondescript post on several social media sites,” said Anderson.
