On June 22, 2021, after a consult, I signed a contract with ALL CLEAN and Brian Torres to pack, clean, store, and return contents to home. This work occurred between June 23, 2021 and June 25, 2021. We met with Brian in July to see the contents that he retrieved from the original restoration company. We inquired about missing items and he stated that he did not have them. At the end of July, no structural work had been conducted on the home and no contract for structural work had been furnished. Around July 22nd, I received an email from Mr. Torres stating that an invoice had been sent to my insurance company though no work had been reviewed. The insurance company contacted Mr. Torres and requested to send out the Contents Adjuster. On Aug. 4th, I received an email from the insurance company stating that Mr. Torres was denying the company access and Mr. Torres emailed that he would be placing a lien on our home. After emailing back and forth, he agreed to allow the Contents Adjuster to come on Aug. 11th and 13th. On the 13th that the items that Mr. Torres earlier denied being in possession of were discovered in his place of business. After an email exchange on Aug. 27th, Mr. Torres sent us a notice of intent to lien our home in early September 2021, again though no "labor had been performed or materials furnished were used in the erection, alteration, or repair of a building or structure" had been completed. Mr. Torres declined the insurance payment, refused to return our possessions, and filed a lien on our home. After hiring an attorney and 15 months later, Mr. Torres finally released the items in September 2022. We had to hire a moving company to return the items to our home. Upon receiving the items, the majority of the boxes, including kitchenware boxes, had packets of what appeared to be rodent deterrent. One of the boxes had what appeared to be rodent droppings. Three of the boxes were not ours. The refrigerator, which had been wrapped in saran wrap, had a dead roach in it. Several kitchen boxes had dishes which were covered in soot; one box had soot covered dishes, a packet of tuna, and a jar of peanut butter from when the fire occurred. One container had a dead adult roach, and one box had baby roaches crawling in it.
