I had found faults and electrical concerns and alerted him, showing this solicitor hastily taken photos of such. Then my Realtor went absent for a week! He had recommended Mr Hicks for the conveyance, both evaded my personal appeal for help to avoid Completing on purchase (due 7 days later) in July 2009. I could have walked-away from the Purchase, it later transpired. It proved to be via a very negligent illegal MLS Realtor & Listing, after the event! The Vendor was fraudulent and had schemed/lied..2 Realtors did not check CSA illegal fire status of property, nor did this Solicitor. The RECBC concurred with 'the facts' of this very illegal MLS listing by 2011. I wrote to the Law Society, they disregarded my letter. His lack of respect for me as a worried client in 2009 resulted in a loss over $ 50.000 and much pain (as a recent widow)..and in a larger miscarriage of Justice, which I have been unable to raise funds to 'fight' due to loss of home, exhaustion and mental anguish. I lost all my funds through his inaccurate and disengenous advice. I cannot afford fees for a 'new solicitor' to seek compensation. A later Solicitor advised I have a "good case" and commenced action letters.. now I have no funds to pay a solicitor to take my claim further, against Realtors & home inspector (re: lack of due diligence) to Court in BC. Pro bono has proved hard to find in reality! All in all a horrible sequence of events; as a man he was disingenuous before and after the event..

Absolutely horrific customer service. When I walked in, they were arguing with a customer who was…read moreasking to be called if a necessary part came in for his iPhone repair; they refused to let him know when his device was ready to be repaired. They took my machine and gave me only the last of 3 pages of terms and asked me to consent to terms I had not read and was never provided by email, in spite of agreeing to give them my email address for them to send it to me. Although there was a broken arrow key that was sticking up and clearly scratching the screen, they reported to Apple that my screen had died because I put a sticky note over the camera and this "caused stress on the screen," (a flat piece of paper) invalidating my warranty -- apparently the piece of plastic sticking up into the screen (the broken arrow key), a computer malfunction, had nothing to do with it. I disputed the plausibility of this explanation and told them I thought it was ludicrous, but agreed to pay the difference, and they began sending me email after email about how I had "refused to have my machine repaired." I bothered to explain that there is a difference between questioning their assessment and declining a repair, and they sent me further emails stating I had declined the repair. I asked them to stop emailing me and simply fix it. When I went in to pick it up, they had replaced the top cover as well, including my prized sticker collection, without my knowledge or consent. I noted (in reasonable tones) that failing to inform me the cover would be replaced along with the screen, causing all of my stickers to be lost (and memories along with them), was an action they took without my consent and they could have at least had the decency to inform me -- I would have asked them to take a photo. They literally physically intimidated me towards the door and locked it behind me; the guy was twice my size and kept speaking in a robotic threatening tone. Worst ever -- do not sanction their poor service by giving them your warranty money.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!…read more Think it's important to share that the service Scott and his dad provided for years was truly amazing ! Family and friends went their. After going last year, being promised a price for myself and my child whom would be a simple entry- I was charged much more. Things that I have always used and applied to my taxes they wouldn't. I was charged much more than promised. Missing signed forms, and a few other issues. Unprofessional conversations while I was in there. Sadly I would not recommend focus tax under the new ownership. I rather pay a little more and get exceptional service and accuracy. Family and friends have reported the same and have had major mistakes made last year. My brother in law and parents had also always gone here and will not this year.

She previously offered energy healing sessions at a rate of $150 per hour. Over time, I personally found that these sessions did not have the positive impact I had hoped for, very negative things happened to me and my business , and those I referred shared similar experiences. I left an honest review on Google, but it was later removed. Based on my experience, I would recommend seeking guidance from a certified business coach or therapist.

In an attempt to be as "green" as possible, we opted out of having a paper bill, and instead have chosen to rely on an emailed bill and their website to keep track of what we owe and when it is due. Imagine our surprise when our hydro was disconnected for allegedly owing close to $500.00 while bchydro.com showed an amount owing of $109.00. After speaking with one agent who hung up on me and waiting another 20 minutes for a second agent, I was told that I was at fault, the reconnection fee would not be waived, and it was my job to *call* in to find out the amount owing and not rely on their OWN website. The agent could not clarify for me what the point is in having a website that doesn't provide accurate information.
