E. Snow Carpentry & Wood Working complaints

My response to the complaint is with a Retain amount of frustration. I was contacted at the end of August by consumer. He had expressed interest in having us do a deck repair however my schedule prevented me from being able to make it over for a consult. Then again in September he made contact and we ended up signing a contract for the deck repair with some rot remediation and a new shower surround In the bathroom off the deck. I priced the job at $8,000.00 and consumer accepted. The down payment was to be $2000.00 consumer asked that he pay it over two weeks. The first week cleared the second one week bounced. A few more days went by they replaced the check with one not filled out core therefore my bank would not accept. I then asked consumer to pay via credit card. He did pay by credit card and a few days later my bank re deposit the original bounced check after 27 days and the money cleared into my account that was $996 overdraft from when he bounced the check a month prior. This caused him to over draft on his end again. The long and the short of it is that I received 3,000 from consumer and he would have owed an additional 5,000 upon completion of the job. I had some unfortunate revenue loss that made it impossible to pay my consumer back. Towards the end of the contract date which I never amended after the month of confusion and then the insecurity of getting paid upon completion. It's very difficult to go into a job knowing that he probably wouldn't have the funds at the end. Especially after a loss that I had take on a job previous to This one. Consumer's girlfriend began to slander me on Facebook and I was told that I had to have the. Job done by Xmas or he would sue me, and a few days before the deadline I was sent a picture of the deck already underway. I made numerous attempts to contact consumer in December and received an email in response. I brought up an idea of hanging a binding contract a promise to pay upon closing of the project I was on and he responded by having the sheriff serve me with a criminal charges based on lies. I've responded to a few of these at this point and I have decided that I am going to wait untill court to make any payment to consumer.
