Contractor fraud casework in Tennessee
A contractor who takes the deposit and disappears is counting on you giving up. Pinnacle's private eyes find them, document the pattern and give you and your attorney a path to recovery.
Contractor Fraud handled by a licensed private detective agency
After every storm season Tennessee sees a wave of roofing and repair contractors who take deposits and never return, and every year homeowners lose money to remodelers who start, stop and vanish. Contractor fraud casework locates the contractor, verifies whether they were ever licensed with the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors, identifies other victims, and documents the business entities and assets that matter for recovery through the courts or the Board's complaint process.
Pinnacle also documents abandoned work, defective work and misrepresentations with photographs and expert referrals, so that a small claims case, a civil suit or a criminal referral has the evidence it needs.
Situations contractor fraud casework is built for
If one of these sounds familiar, a confidential conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies the next step.
- A deposit paid and a start date that keeps moving
- A contractor who stopped answering after demolition
- Licensing that turns out to be borrowed, expired or nonexistent
- Other homeowners in the area with the same story
- Liens or subcontractor claims for work you already paid for
- A business name that keeps changing
