Legal action against Hi-rev performance [Archive]

So they have given me the run around on getting us our money back

Raul has avoided my calls yesterday and today. Then later this afternoon I recieved a call from Kamil and he gave me and bunch of BS excuses that the manufacturer wants to finish this project and I told him that it wasn't an option at this point then he said to me that he had already mentioned to us that once this project starts that he can't refund us the money but he didn't mention that at all

as a business man he should admit that this project has already failed and take the loss and refund us the money from his own pocket and move on to his next project but I think that he won't do that

at the ed of the phone call I lost my temper and I told him he either gets us our money back or we will take legal actions

I called their manufacturer and had a conversation with Jose and came up to the conclusion that it's Kamil's problem and he should refund the money

I called Kamil and Raul back few times each and none of them answered and I left Kamil a voicemail saying that he has 2 options of resolving this, the civilized way or the legal way and if I don't get a refund by the end of business day tomorrow then first thing Thursday morning I will take the legal actions required to get us our money back

this is gonna get ugly

spdracr

07-28-2009, 03:34 PM

Luckily I'm the type that don't delete my text messages so I have the text messages between me and Raul saying that he is working on the refund so that should help us in case we have to take the legal actions for this

Well let's start the process, they didn't finish the merchandise they claimed they would. They also have not been in frequent contact with us about this situation. Someone please take screen shots or save the pages since they mentioned THEY will give us a refund, also ask admin for an ip address so they can't pull not b.s. Should we contact paypal?.

Honestly if they wont refund, then make the fucking mold FIT LIKE OEM like you SAID HIREV. Shit its not that hard to make a mold, you guys sent out 2 trunks BOTH SUCKED in fitment we have VIDEOS of the work. Make another trunk IDK really, as long as it fits i will buy it as a worse case senrio if you dont want to refund me my $100+, Also the OEM trunk is OUR property, we paid for it NOT YOU, so return that then or its THEFT. Finish the GB or refund us the money we paid, its not rocket science. I will Join your Other forms and let that community know what HI REV is really up too.

what i find really shady is the fact that they ALREADY has agreed to the refund and then after 3 weeks decided they were going to change their mind.

that's poor business ethics imo.

spdracr

07-30-2009, 12:33 AM

poor business ethics is not the word, its no ethics at all

as a reply to ron's comment, they wanna continue the GB but i told them that it wasnt as option

hey Noel, can u help us set this up with the small claims court and find out for us what we need to do exactly

in the meantime i want everyone involved or not involved in this to blow up their phone lines and ask them for our refund

here is Kamil's # 510-366-9463

here is Raul's # 415-350-0038

You hit the nail on the head...

Looks to me they got in way over there head here and now do not have the money to refund everyone there funds because they will be taking a huge loss to take care of there customers...

I still can't believe that TGC has yet another GB that has gone terribly wrong and we again have users that where ripped off...

Yes the .com was available so I bought it lol... you know me being a domain name collector and all... I am not even sure why they did not purchase it themselves...

Sooo too Kamil and Raul... please make this right. I am asking you... refund these users there money ASAP. I would hate to have to fill that website with content showing proof on how you ripped these users off of there hard earn money...

Please make this right...

They CANT make the product that we HIRED them for so we are going to another company. They should know how this plays out. If they dont meet our needs as a customer, than we get our money back and go somewhere else. Let me know if there is anything i can do.

I don't know how your bank operates but my bank won't do it since I authorized paypal to take the money from my account and they can get me the money from paypal but paypal will then give me a negative balance and I do value my paypal account

spdracr

08-01-2009, 03:58 PM

But paypal gives you the option to file a dispute for no recieved items up to 180 days if I'm not mistaken. Considering that I can file it for the money we sent for the new trunk and the extra deposit that I threw in few months back

spdracr

08-01-2009, 04:47 PM

I was wrong. Paypal only allow 45 days to make a claim and my bank only allows 60 days so I'm screwed

This way they can have another oppertunity to get it right. If they dont the next time, then they know they are out.

08-07-2009, 10:00 PM

Ok guys. I talked to Kamil today (i believe thats who it was). He basically told me he was not offering a refund but he did offer to complete this job. He said they are going to make it right if you guys give them the chance but there is no way youre getting a refund at all. There is no way for them to get it right the first time or so because they do not have a test vehicle. Thats all of the information i can give to you. If i were you guys id give them the chance rather than lose the money. If they dont get it right youre still out of cash anyways but if they do get it right then you have a trunk. LMK and ill see if i can get in touch with him again.

stvn_mj

08-07-2009, 10:14 PM

^Damn that totally sucks. But I don't understand how they don't want to give a refund when the job can't get done. It's not like they gave you guys a product you didn't like they just weren't up to the task and were not able to complete it. It's just crazy.

IceDouTGaLanT

08-07-2009, 11:11 PM

if they can make it FIT LIKE OEM like they stated they would in the GB. Then i will still buy the trunk, tell them to fucking use the new OEM trunk we supplied them shit. If they cant get it OEM fitment, thats false advertising, and we can/will get our refund back legally. JUST MAKE A GOOD MOLD its not that hard geez.

spdracr

08-07-2009, 11:35 PM

tell him to do it right or WE WILL FORCE THEM TO MAKE AS MANY MOLDS AS IT TAKES TO GET THIS DONE

but we r down 2 people and one more guy wants his money back so we r down to 8 since i dont want 2 trunks and i wanna put both deposits towards one trunk

if they agree to this then tell them to get in touch with me and ill arrange for someone to let them use his car for test fitting

Ok. So you guys are still in? Ill try to get them to come post here again and could a mod clean this thread up? Im just trying to help you guys out the best i can. Im sorry that this happened to you guys but i do see their point as well. You guys took 6 months to get this together and they really have no way of knowing if it fits correctly. Shit happens guys and you all need to understand that. How many of you guys purchased the fucked up trunk that never fit correctly? Atleast these guys are willing to make it right. Im not by far taking their side and im just trying to make sense of the situation. He told me they had to for out 2500 for the mould to be made and the money he got from you guys was only like 1200. I tried to talk him into atleast refunding half of yalls money but that was not an option. Fortunately i wasnt rude to the guy and he is giving this another go. So dont hate me for trying to help you guys out.

Thanks,
Johnas

JoeRad

08-08-2009, 02:21 PM

im not in the group but if i was id be pissed, if they shelled out a load for a crappy mould why dont they get a refund on that and give you guys back the money, a more reputable vendor has already stepped forward and offered to finish this project, hi rev should just do this on their own and come back here when they have a product worth selling

2002BlackDragon

08-08-2009, 03:54 PM

Im going to be honest. I dont care who makes it, Cali or HiRev. I just want the trunk. If they are still willing to do this, then i say do it. If they keep wasting thier money by making crappy "test models", than so be it. Just as long as the final is as close to perfect as possible and they dont jack up the price cause of thier mistakes, then yeah im still in. I think we should atleast ride it out till they say that they cant do it and then get our money back. Or we could always try to renagotiate and try to but a deadline or something. I just want the trunk without loosing a crap load of money on it.

Stewi

08-08-2009, 07:37 PM

So lets ride it out and see where we end up. At the end of the day if the finished product doesnt fit or looks like crap, then we just dont pay the rest, and pursue other options. I respect that the guy wants to make it right, but he should be on here telling us this, not you. On a second note, if they paid $2500 for a mold to be made, that at the end of the day the part doesnt fit, that means the mold sucks or the guy making the trunk sucks. Either way thats on the manufacturer who should have some sort of loyalty to HiRev to make it right.

08-09-2009, 01:54 AM

as i have mentioned he refunded 2 people their money by mistake thinking it was the 2 people from the hood GB so that brough the total down to $1090 which is a total of 11 deposits BUT i want both my deposits to go towards one trunk and not two which would drop us down to 10 trunks and since greddy and surycdol put together an extra deposit to help out and not purchase another trunk which means we are only getting 9 trunks made but shockwave000 said he simply dont have the money for the trunk anymore and he wont have the remaining balance so thats 8 trunks

are they willing to do it then ??

diablos991

08-09-2009, 02:03 PM

I was not in on the buy, but to me this is unethical and this shop is ran by a complete utter douche-bag.

The fact that they had a time period to perform their end of the contract. They failed... Therefore the contract is null and the money should legally be returned. (and yes it is considered a contract, you buying a candy bar from the store is a legally binding contract)

Next time you guys decide to start a group buy, get that shit in writing. There should be a clear goal date and a clause that clarifies that full refunds will be issued if a satisfactory product is not in your hands by XX Date.

The lack of communication and their willingness to try again ONLY after having their arms twisted makes me hope they rot in hell. Seriously, they thought you guys would just forget about your money???

You guys that are giving them another chance are FAR more patient then I would have been as my lawyer would have already been in contact and drafting up some pleadings.

Fuck this store with a rake and there is no way in hell I would ever purchase a single thing from these guys after seeing how they manage their business.

silver01g

08-09-2009, 10:43 PM

EXACTLY: we need a writen statment from Hirev saying that they are welling to keep making as many molds it will take to get this GB right. If they do not want to refund us our money cause of cost of molding, this is not our fault that the molding isnt coming out OEM fittment.

regardless on whats happened, even if we do take another chance with them. we need to be sure to get it in writing this time (in bold letters).

its just hard to see how this can be so hard to get molded, and this is a OEM trunk. Cali gets JDM parts molded and gets the job done so fast with great fittment.

spdracr

08-10-2009, 01:35 AM

Legally since he didn't mention to us that once the group buy starts we won't get our refunds back then we should get them back. I will talk to my buddy who is a lawyer some time this week and confirm that

08-10-2009, 12:36 PM

Ok guys, here's the deal, they are still gonna make the trunk, all they need is a member in socal to come buy the shop to test fit the trunk, I spoke to them on the phone, they will be updating us on here shortly and I will be receiving a call back with more details tomorrow, in the meantime, anyone in socal want to go get the trunk tested on their car?

I guess I'm not in charge of this anymore. I was at my friends office a lil over an hour ago ( he is a lawyer) and I explained the whole thing to him. Legally since there is nothing in writing between us then we should get our money back.

They will be recieving a letter from him within few days.

I don't play games and I'm sick of them playing games

if they wanna do this then we need it in writing. Estimated time of production ?? Etc etc etc

Bravo!!!! I would like to see everybody involved get a lawyer to come into contact with these guys. When it comes to shady business practices. I don't necessarily believe in second chances. (or third or fourth in this case)

You guys paid for something, you never received that something, and you were denied your refund. You guys were victims and should seek restitution.

Shadow19

08-10-2009, 03:35 PM

So once again ive backed down from this. I no longer will contact these guys about shit. You guys can do all of that on your own. Obviousy you all handled it incorrectly because im the ONLY one that got through to these guys. So good luck with this. Its all stupid bullshit anyways.

skrap

08-10-2009, 04:17 PM

Wait I have a problem with that shadow. They didn't handle this incorrectly at all. Plain and simple the shop should hold up to its end of the bargain. If you cant do the job that you were paid to do then YOU GIVE THE FUCKING MONEY BACK. Flat out don't beat around the bush. When a shop tells you that you are not going to get your money back because they cant do it right and then just try and disappear you should talk to a lawyer. Honestly i wouldn't just try and get my deposit back. I would try and get more because of them dicking everyone around. What that did wasn't ethical or LEGAL. So talking to a lawyer was the CORRECT thing to do.

08-10-2009, 05:03 PM

Shadow the problem with this GB at this stage in the game, today, there are too many chiefs and not enough fucking indians. Alex was handling, then you called, then greddy called then your telling us we need to be nice to them and shit. At this point, since Alex has already wasted a ton of time dealing with this, lets let Greddy take it over, since he talked to them most recently about test fitting and what not. Let him update us, nobody else waste your time talking to them or trying to make arrangements or anything like that, because thats what turns it into a giant circle jerk. Shit gets lost in translation each time somebody tells the story.

Correction. Alex took over because i got tired of people fucking crying such as members that are no longer here. I wasnt trying to be a dick about it so dont hate me. I just figured it was all good to go and i was going to contact them today about it till i saw the whole lawyer thing. If i were you guys i would be pissed for sure but i would give them a FINAL shot before bringing a lawyer into the game. Legal is legal indeed it is but there are other ways to handle it and they were willing to do so. What if these guys are like FUCK IT IM DONE SUE ME? Are you guys willing to kick out additional money to fight the fucking case or do you want the god damn trunk? Thats just my .02 but good luck to you guys.

Sue for court costs + refund on deposit + potential damages since your assets were being held up for so damn long. (you probably need a good lawyer for that last part)

A group suit would also save some money.

The thing about the going to court process, is that they would also have to front money for a defense lawyer. It would be worth it to them to settle out of court and just refund the money.

Just my .02 cents

I'm still willing to let them try and finish this if that's what they want to do instead of issuing refunds. I just want the trunk. If they need someone to test fit it, is there anyone near by that is willing to let them test it on their car and help give them some input? Maybe them seeing the defects in person will help them better correct what i wrong and we can get this thing churned out faster.

i simply want out of this, i dont wanna be the one going in a different direction than everyone else but i just simply want out of this GB, i dont want to give them another chance, im simply done with this thats the bottom line

everyone wants the trunk bad thats why u r at the point where u dont care if they wanna give this another shot or not and im hesitant about them doing the right thing anymore cuz i have given them the chance to contact me and resolve or explain the situation but they simply refused to do so

i want cali to take over and cali said to me on the phone that he would help us if we decide to go to small claims court and prophet said he is willing to help in any way possible

it looks like i am the only one thats taking the legal action against this so i feel like the dick in this even though i spent alotta time towards this so far

My bottom line is I want a CF trunk. I would rather purchase it from Cali then anyone else in the world because I know it will fit and I know everything will go smooth because thats how Noel operates. On the other hand, im going to follow the route that gets me a CF trunk in my hands the absolute fastest, at this point, if this GB doesnt go thru, im just gonna get the VIS trunk and make it fit, consider my $100 a loss and go on my merry way.

08-11-2009, 05:34 PM

One thing to note too guys... Hi-Rev is more then capable of coming here and at the very least apologizing to EVERYONE... you guys are at least owed that. If they can not at least man up to there obvious mistakes with this GB and make things right then what is to say they will actually make the next trunk good. They might also be stalling for time... Action speak louder then words and so far there actual actions... not speaking much IMHO...

Everyone is going off this he said she said bs... this is not the way to do business...

They need to step up to the plate and actually tell everyone what they plan on doing and they are not willing to do. Why should a TGC user have to keep everyone informed... you guys are also paying for customer service...

I agree on that Jason. So i spoke to him today and he told me he will post tomorrow. So again guys. Ive tried my best. I really wish you guys well with this but getting angry and all that BS will get everyone nowhere with anything. BTW he wanted to know if anyone in LA would be willing to let them test fit?

I don't think anyone is really faulting you with anything bro... I honestly think that everyone is just frustrated with Hi-Rev and that is completly understandable. You just happen to take some frustration because you are speaking on the behalf of them when it really should be them taking the brunt and speaking for themselves...

I know two people in Socal but what is the addy so we know how far away it is from them and if they can make it... have them contact me... They run an online business I don't see why they shouldn't be able to go online and do some footwork for there business but I am willing to help you guys anyway I can...

Yea im trying to help out as well. Some people make it hard though. One minute they are in the next minute they arent. How am i supposed to tell the guy that there are still 10 ppl in and within 20 minutes 2 of those people bail out. I will do all that i can to make this work out for you guys.

i hope u r not referring to me when u said some people make it hard

on a side note there isnt 10 people in this GB anymore, shockwave000 simply doesnt have the 350 and will not have it when the trunk is done to deliver so they are down to 7 people since i also want out of this and i do not want to go further with a shady business like this anymore

08-12-2009, 01:49 PM

so I just talked to Hirev, they are still gonna go through with the trunk even with the people that are dropping out, so we need a member from socal to drive over to the manufacturer to test fit the trunk. I will start an interest thread asking for volunteers.

Ok guys, here's the deal, I've been talking to them a lot, there is no way you are getting a refund, because it states on their website that deposits are non refundable, however, there are two options, you can try going through a small claims court, or you can let them finish the project. They are currently trying to locate a galant to do test fitting on, and if someone can loan their car they will get a trunk for 1/2 price or for free as incentive. I talked to them though, and if they can't find a local galant, they will ship it to me to test fit since I'm pretty close compared to spdracer over in Jersey and I'm willing to help pay shipping cuz I want to get this done and I don't want the rest of you disappointed. If there's anything anyone would like to pass along, please do so, I'll be talking to them again tomorrow. That's the update for now.

tell them if they want the 2 trunks that i have here then i will give it to them if they get me my $200 deposit back

i am taking the legal way and still working with my lawyer friend on this

anyone else wanna go the legal way then contact me

THIS THREAD IS MADE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WANNA TAKE THE LEGAL ROUTE TOWARDS THIS

FOR ALL THE OTHERS THAT WANNA CONTINUE THIS THEN YOU CAN GO AND REVIVE THE ORIGINAL GB THREAD AND CONTINUE YOUR HOPES OVER THERE

Just because it states that in there website does not mean that is what California law is... you where promised goods during a certain time frame and certain obligations from the seller. The seller did not hold up to there end of the bargain and you are entitled to receive your money back. I am curious to know if they even have a business lisc. to operate in there city...

spdracr since you have decided to take the legal action and want this resolved I would call them up and ask for that information. Ask what city they are allowed to do business out of and what there business lisc. number is. This is supposed to be displayed for the public to see. If they do not provide a lisc. number then they are operating illegally and you can take them to small claims court and you can actually get there local law enforcement involved because they actually stole your money from you...

What I found funny...

and if someone can loan their car they will get a trunk for 1/2 price or for free as incentive.

There willing to offer a free trunk or one at half off but won't return your $200...

You lent them your money and never got it back.

Now lets step it up and lend them your car! Sounds like a fantastic plan to me. Not....

My lawyer typed a letter this morning and faxed it to me to read it. I'm not sure if he faced it to them or not yet so I will check with him later

thanks for the info Jason, the problem is that these guys are avoiding my calls but I can leave a voicemail I guess

someone needs to say it to them in person, roll up there and say refund or court and leave, wouldnt say it would be long before yu get it, they're just pissy there business is failing.

this shit seems to be the norm these days, i have had the same skinda thing happen loads lately,

this very laptop im posting on is fucked , the disc drive wont work and the display goes crazy every once in awhile, ive had itsince feb this year and its gone in for repair twice, apperently they are willing to just keep fixing for a year and then tell me to fuck off.

automated toll booth ripped me off and the company took 6 months to refund me less then E20 which they then sent the wrong amount.

and my braodband provider has charged me for a month when it was down and is adamant i owe it.

i just call and bombard them with emails untill i get an anwser,

id advise to fill in a small claims form scan and e-mail it to them saying you will file in a week if they dont respond asap!

Dont give them another chance, they are half done making them, well tell them to act like all other sellers and make the product before selling.

if its fine in the end im sure a few on here will buy one.

just tell them to stop being bitches!

spdracr

08-18-2009, 02:44 PM

I left them a voicemail asking them to provide me with their address, fax number and license number but got no reply

I wanna go further with this but like I have mentioned to icedoutgalant on the phone, my claim alone would be a waste of time and money and the authorities might not take it seriously. I wanna file with ic3.gov and the local authorities but I need to know who else is with me

please put your name down on a list so I can go further with this ASAP

thanks

They had better have a business lisc.... even dealing with there supposed manufacturer should have it or the manufacturer is even breaking the law. In fact now that I think of it since you have the manufacturer's number give him a call and ask if he will provide it to you ... if he is not willing to give you the lics. number the see if he is at least willing to give you the city there allowed to do business out of and under what name that business called...
