This is a response letter to a person who answered my review dated of 04/07/2018.
KleeRite at Champaign IL cheated, overcharged and forced customers but wants a good reputation. What a joke! I am writing a bit detail information how the company did business for us. I believe the company will treat other customers in the same way that the company treated us. We plan to submit a complaint letter to BBB.
1. The company submitted a mechanic lien against our house right after they sent the invoice to us. KleenRite at Champaign IL did NOT give us the invoice of $26,463.00 until January 31, 2018 (I am sorry that my previous number of $26,139.00 is not accurate). When we got the invoice, both my realtor and I were surprised at such high bill. On February 01, 2018, I wrote to the company and asked them to reduce the bill to $14,000.00. They did not reply to me. On February 02, 2018, i.e., just one day after they gave us the invoice and I wrote to them, the company advised their attorney to submit a mechanic lien against our house. We had no idea that the company had submitted a mechanic lien against us. On February 08, 2018, my realtor still negotiated the company with our offer of $17,000.00. On February 12, 2018, KleenRite told us they submitted a mechanic lien against my house and rejected any further negotiation.
2. The company did unnecessary job and overcharged customers. As I mentioned, they did not clean my carpet at all, but the invoice charged us. The company started drying my house on January 08, 2018. On January 14, 2018, I went back and found the room temperature was 99 degree F and the carpet, wood floor and basement all were overdried. I texted my realtor. Next day (Jan 15, 2018), KleenRite removed all of the equipment. In short, the drying job might need 3-4 days, but they charged us the 6-day cost.
3. The company overcharged customers the equipment rate. For example, the company charged the dehumidifier daily rate of $114.72 per 24 hours, while the rental price of Homedepot's Dri-Eaz LGR 7000Xli pro-dehumdifier 29 gallon/day was just $57.00 per 24 hour and $228 per week. In addition, for the same dehumidifier model, KleenRite's rate per 24 hours was $73.13 in September 2015. In cleaning service market of Champaign IL, how can the rental rate of dehumidifier per 24 hours increase 56.9% over 28 months?
We have lots of other evidences to support our claims. I think, our painful experience with KleenRite at Champaign IL will remind all of customers to think twice before hiring the company. Please do not hire Kleenrite at Champaign, IL!!! Sincerely. read more
