Well -- HAHA--I guess say well a lot...awfully ironic since we don't have one--anyway--Roberto was in court last week to try and battle with the second well company and their outrageous bill. Unfortunatetly, the courts didn't see it our way and we received a letter from Berks County stating we owe Well Company 2 a little under $7200. We have a call into our lawyer to see what our options are. I know we can appeal...that is common knowledge but is it worth the money? If it were up to me we would hop on our soapbox and lead the march for what is right. I want to prove they are creeps and have totally screwed us over. I want to hire those sign carrying planes and rent billboards warning everyone of these people. I want to take the crazy route! I am pissed. I am outraged. My insides shake with anger and disgust. I just don't understand why this is our path? I just don't understand why! I cannot believe we are at fault. Really? We invest $11,300 into a well, this company comes along says they can "complete" the well (their words, not mine), then break what we have and then bails--They leave us high and dry. They never offered an alternate plan. They never offered to dig another well. They left us--with no other options except to pay them $7200. How is that our fault? So now, there is $18,500 in a well hole that can NEVER be used! (That $18K doesn't include the state of the art water filtration system we were told could clean up the water too that we paid $5000+ for...yeah, we weren't even using it on the well that worked, yep, we didn't need it!) It is just insane!!!
Just about 3 years ago I thought we were going to have it all! I though we were going to build our dream home and live the life you see in magazines and pictures, the life I want to give my kids. But that just isn't going to happen just yet...I guess! God has another plan for us. We must go through this-- It doesn't make sense now, maybe I need to do some deep breathing to rid myself of the anger I have to see the light! I will keep you all posted in the next coming weeks as the well guys come back out, and when we meet with our lawyer about our next steps! Please send positive thoughts, prayers and strength our way! We need it all!!!

ReplyDeleteYou are not alone. Many people around the country have the same totally frustrating story. Perhaps you will find this helpful http://www.wellmanager.com/diy.htm
JAndrewReid, thank you for your post. I will have to look into this. Currently our money situation is tight--we have a lot of debt because of the well. We are working to pay it all off before we move forward. Thank you for reaching out. It means a lot!
