Miller Fence Co Complaint - Miller fence company
Complaint
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident.
Dear AG,
I live in Worcester. A few years back when we bought our home a neighbor approached us and asked if he could take our fence down so he could get a back hoe in to grate his land. He would put up a new fence in turn.
He held up his end of the deal and had Miller Fence Co install a fence. They came in the dead of winter to put it up, they had to return to reset the fence as it was leaning. They still didn't set it correctly. The neighbor with-held $300 and told them to set it right, they refused. Last Friday May 26th 2006 the company came out. I thought to fix the fence, when I looked again, the workers were gone and so were 3 sections of fence. Since then I have not been able to have my 17 month old little boy play in the yard as it is a safty issue.
I contacted the police, who told me it was not criminal, even-though I pointed out they trespassed onto my property, stomped in my tomato plants and stole my fence.
This matter needs to be handled as quickly as possible as My son has every right to be able to play in our yard, in a safe enviroment.
As a resolution, I would like the following:
I would like the company to come out and put the fence back where it was,and do it correctly.
Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.

Maybe they removed the sections because they were damaged and need to be replaced? (And, didn't have replacements with them??)
Also, I never had a fenced-in yard when my child was yours' age...I just made sure I was outside with her so I could keep an eye on her. She's 16 now, so I guess I did alright...

I am always outside with my baby, but children are fast, and it is worcester. That may not mean anything to people who don't know the area, but I do and i don't blame the person for wanting the fence back up.

Perhaps call Miller Fence to find out why they were on your property and why did they take your fence? Somehow, that seems a more appropriate action than calling the police. I sense another, unstated issue here.

I would make this your neighbor's problem. He is the one that contracted with Miller - you had a perfectly good fence until he took it down to get a tractor in his yard. You are trying to be the good neighbor, but you are getting walked on. Tell him he's got x number of days to whip Miller into shape or you will hire someone else to fix it correctly and send him the bill.

call mass consumer affairs they will guide in helping you write a demand and return letter. the company will have 30 days to comply.

They should've told you their intent but you also should do you homework, find a fence company through the BBB listings, check their reputation and see if they have a website, next time.

According to the BBB the Miller Fence Co has one compliant - Oi!

That is lovely information except she didn't hire the fence contractor, the neighbor who tore her fence down did
