I needed the junk removed from my basement on my property in Calumet Park, Illinois. I live in California, and used CraigsList/Chicago to find a junk removal company, Champton Demolition and Junk Removal owned by Charles Hampton (hamptoncharles32@gmail.com, 773-567-5378). The company came and removed the debris from the basement except for a few items. I called Charles Hampton to have his crew return and pick-up the remaining junk. He assured me it would be picked-up. I had to call two days, but he never picked-up the remaining junk. He also initially said he didn't accept credit cards, and then he changed his mind and said I could pay by credit card. I told him that was the only method of payment I could make. I spent most of the day going back and forth with him trying to pay through his bank, Western Union, and Zelle, none of which would accept my credit card. Finally, he asked me to pay his wife on her account with Venmo which did accept credit cards.
