My husband lost 2300 dollars today to an out of state company called Golden Nugget. They buy gold. All sorts of work had to be done to bring the building up to code, and the balance remains unpaid. Moreover, they refuse to pay the full amount they owe, insisting that they are being overcharged. Actually, they aren't; my husband had to have tradesmen complete some of the work, he needed an architect, he had to fight with the city over the permit...and this company has the audacity to cheat him.
I'm disgusted right now, and I feel terrible for my husband. The needs of Golden Nugget have taken up his time, none of which he's paid for, and have set him behind with his other, PAYING clients. How can businesspeople live with themselves when they cheat little guys like my husband? It seems logical to me: when someone is hired to do a job, pay them for it. We don't always like the prices we have to pay, but they are a reality of doing business. There are so many factors that go into pricing, none of which companies like Golden Nugget seem to understand.
Now we're short 2300.00, money we need. I'm sure the owners of Golden Nugget aren't worried about mortgage payments, care and feeding of their children, or their retirement. They can only see the bottom line, which is less than they're willing to pay for services. And us? What will we do? Cinch our belts a little tighter, hope nothing medical happens, and pray for my husband to continue to work to make up this loss.
Avoid this company!
