Your right they are horrible to work with they feel as though they are going to tell you what you're going to get and hell with what you bought. Most lawyers will take a case for a percentage of what you get. If you have the paperwork of what you ordered I think a lawyer would take it.
My husband and I had a horrible experience with Clayton Homes. Those people are far from true to their word. We have had constant issues and problems since day 1. It’s been 8 years if we could do it all over again we would have definitely stayed away from Clayton Homes
My daughter and husband having to rebuild their mobile home. It's a nightmare. They got an attorney...of course he got half settlement. They have had to spend their own money to replace AC, clean mold, and so far have spent thousands on new mobile home. It's ridicules! Of course they continue to pay mortgage!!!
@@elainesimons9079 I’m Pro Se read many FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY STANDARDS LAWS. 42 U.S. Code Chapter 70 24 CFR 3280 24 CFR 3282 24 CFR 3285 24 CFR 3286 TEXAS OCCUPATION CODE CHAPTER 1201. MANUFACTURED HOUSING. TEXAS AND THE FEDERAL AGENCIES WILL NOT ENFORCE THE FEDERAL MANUFACTURED HOME CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT. THAT IS WHY IM FILING VIOLATION OFTHE ACT IN FEDERAL COURT. THE ATTORNEY YOU DAUGHTER USED IS CORRUPTED. THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO PAY HER ATTORNEYS FEE
We're living a nightmare for 3 years. House was a mess. Plumbing not connected. Electrical problems. Drywall wrong. Floors had screws poking thru. It's still a mess. Clayton stopped helping before first year was up. It took them 2 months to set up, 6 more months to get anyone out. They had to send out 3 different people. But Plumbing was something we had to fix. Sewerage in crawlspace in heater pipes on the ground and no even hooked up right. Mold is terrible.
FYI many years ago I bought a brand new Oakwood Home. Had a lot of issues during the warranty period. I had to file a complaint with the State of Texas to get them to fix the issues. During my conversation with the State Inspector he told me it wasn't just my home or its brand. The short version is they are all cheap built piles of crap and they get away with it because the mobile home industry has a very powerful lobbying machine in most of the state capitols. They have special laws and regulations written by those lobbies and passed by state officials who are more or less bribed by that lobby. These things are built to appeal to the most vulnerable and least educated homebuyers ....and disguised as "affordable houseing" I'll never buy another one of any brand after my discussion with that inspector...what I researched and learned on my own and my 18 years of ownership. People would be better off in the long run living in an apartment or their parents basement until they can save enough $$$ to buy a real home. Those things are basically oversize RVs not built to be lived in for over a decade. Cheaply built peices of Bull manure.
so accurate and well put! being a retired contractor, i too am going through hell. these companies AND "Setting Contractors" *may* sign off with a little reimbursement only to have you swear in a notarized letter that you will not reveal anything on social media. it is the "Whole Industry"! think about it, those who buy this type of structure are less than knowledgeable about new houses and are vulnerable "Prey". if only someone would write a book on "How To Buy A Modular Home". The Do's & Don'ts". my sympathies to all the upcoming "Suckers" who WILL fall prey.
Have you ever heard of the FEDERAL MANUFACTURED HOME CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT? Just like every manufactured home and stick built homes are to comply to all buildings codes.
My mom who is disabled and elderly went through the exact same thing with no plumbing for 2 bathrooms There should be lawsuits to file against against them These people are taking advantage of people who worked all their lives and are now disabled and elderly I think people my mom included should start filing taking advantage of their age!!!!!
Stay away from a clayton home! 5 years in, roof leaks do to defective vents and this is after multiple and never ending pluming leaks do to defective connections .
I just went to look at a 2024 Clayton Home already on the land last weekend in Florida. I live in an apartment right now and looking to get out of this horrible rental trap. The sales person said that if I wanted to break my lease to purchase the home that they would pay my Early Terminate Fee. I said no, I have just started looking and I'm not ready to buy the first home I look at. I get anothr email today and the sales person says he talked to his boss and his Boss wanted my Landlords information so he could make her an offer to break my lease! The apartment I live in the manager will not let anyone break the lease, you can break it but they hold you to the full term of the lease if I move out, that is in my lease agreement. Again, I told him no I cannot put myself in that kind of position. After seeing these videos and other videos, I will definately not be purchasing a manufactured home!! Thank you for this very informative video!
At the very beginning when you find out it was the wrong home at it wasn't resolved then. Attorney Attorney Attorney. That's the only language that will get it resolved. Never go along with anything that wasn't what you were initially told from the beginning. Meaning giving you the wrong home. Never do any of the work yourself because they're not doing it. Attorney Attorney Attorney!!!!!!
No attorney will represent me. I have been studying all the rules, regulations, requirements, codes and standards for manufactured housing. What I did learn Texas and the Federal Agencies are corrupted. 42 U.S. Code Chapter 70 Congress is to protect the consumers. Section 42 U.S. Code 5422: State enforcement. Texas Occupation Code Chapter 1201. Legislators are to protect the consumers. 42 U.S. Code 5409 states a noncompliance manufactured home SHALL not be offered for sale or sold. 24 CFR 3280.307 Resistance to elements and use. All exterior mating joints SHALL BE SEALED WITH SEALANT TO RESIST THE INFILTRATION OF AIR, WIND, Rain, SNOW, AND RODENTS. Go to any retailers lots that sell these manufactured homes and look around the exterior windows, doors, corner trim and see if the mating joints are sealed with sealant as required by HUD CODE STANDARDS
I decided against Clayton. I'd rather live in my RV while I build my house. Customers will report the truth. N better business bureau of an a+ rating is a scam. (Over 470 complaints and no resolutions) They want money not the customer. Attorney general office n class action lawsuit suits!!!!!! File file file.
I know someone who got ripped off by clanton homes. In 2007 he was 18 years old he and his girlfriend wanted to put a mobile home on the property that his grandfather gave him. He got took financially by clayton homes. He lost the land his grandfather gave him. He got the wool pulled over his eyes . They took advantage of him because he was young
We bought a Clayton home in 2018, it was sold to us as new but was actually used. They said it was certified level, but it wasn't. They never gave us a walk through, and only gave us a 2-year warranty, our neighbor got a 20-year warranty on their house. We had a bunch of repairs on schedule to be done then covid happened and they refused to send someone out to do the repairs, after covid they told us they weren't going to fix anything because the warranty was expired even though it was already on schedule before covid happened. The A/C has issues, the roof needs to be fixed, and the house needs to be leveled, they told us the house would come with Hardie skirting but actually came with plastic that wasn't even installed correctly. The house is poorly insulated, we have hot spots all over the walls and ceilings, and they didn't bother to insulate above the sliding glass door. I had to pay an electrician to replace the faulty main breaker that nearly burned our house down.
Misconception is you need money to hire an Attorney. They are Attorneys that will take your case that are Pro Bono. Meaning they will take your case for free and get paid once the case is done. This situation that Joe is in they would love to take on a Corporation like Clayton Homes. It's not too late Joe. Get an Pro Bono Attorney and get this situation resolved and get paid for the horrible mistreatment you have encountered. Get paid Joe!!!
Over 20 yrs ago I purchased a supposedly "best" mobile home, a Fleetwood. It's worse than a piece of garbage. Nothing is square and everything is cheaply made. At the time with my job I could not afford a real home and interest rates were high so I had to live somewhere. Now it's still "home" and it's paid for and I am retired so I can leisurely watch everything deteriorate. The only good thing is back then they were a lot less expensive than now.
I also bought a Fleetwood in 2007 and found a lot of things wrong with doors and windows. Things were not completely square or level but I also paid mine off and I re-gutted it put about 30,000 into it and now everything is quality and done right it’s better than buying a new $300 manufactured home when I could just put that 30 I put into it and get the same result saved a lot of money.
So is this buying directly from Clayton homes or like a dealer that sells Clayton homes and it’s built in a factory ? I’m looking at buying the legacy 572 and just found out it’s a Clayton home and I’m so upset because I really love this home and I’m hoping the dealer I’m working with and factory it’s being built will not allow it to be built poorly.
Sir a lawsuit lawyer only gets paid if you win the lawsuit, if they think you do not have a case, they will not take you on as a client. But you need no money down to hirer a lawsuit attorney. They generally get 1/3 of your winnings of tge lawsuit, pluss expenses.
First mistake is buying a crappy mobile home. They're built by unskilled people off the street. No journeyman plumbers or electricians. Cheapest materials possible. Second class housing and absolute tinder boxes if there's a fire. I used to work in the industry and I will tell you that I would live on the street before I'd ever live in a mobile home.
I was going to buy a Clayton home for -$140,000. ... But after watching this very sad and very informative post, I've decided to forget about anything "Manufactured " from anybody, anywhere. We live in the internet video age... Companies can't just screw people over and get by with it like the days of yesteryear. The fact that I am writing the this commentary in and of itself proves that people ARE doing their research before buying. Before the age of RU-vid and its comment section, such guidance would have been next to impossible to find... NOT ANYMORE ! ! !
I've been mobile home hunting for a few months and seen countless videos on RU-vid about how great they've been but after watching this one I'm so on the fence. I know nothing about the foundation and what goes all into like this guy seems to know so I would fall victim to their scam. But another part of me just feels like I can't afford a stick built home. All homes in my area are starting at 300k and up and getting a 30 yr mortgage you would have paid almost double for the home with these current rates. I'm just feeling defeated
I would love to be interviewed and videoed. I have a very interesting story that I think the world would be shocked at. I've been scammed by multiple people and I inform both the f. BI the news media and my local law. Enforcement, and all they do is laugh. They think it's funny
Hi Amanda, sorry to hear about your scam experience. If you'd like to publicly tell your story, kindly submit it here and we might send you an interview invitation: www.pissedconsumer.com/post-complaint.html?interview=1
“VP” like the management doesn’t know😂😂😂😂. Companies *rot* from the top down. Capitalism at its best baby. This video is vague about “the wrong house”.
@@brandoncolpitts6551 hmm funny how you erased my comment But seriously you sleep great at night don’t you ? Knowing your taking advantage of the elderly who worked all their life and became disabled on the job and these people fall for your lies your false advertising and your make shift homes. You are a disgrace and deplorable. My mom has been through hell in her golden years because of your company that you are so proud to work for. How about you commit to making it right do the plumbing fix the cheap interior walls you put in the doors that anyone who can push in with a foot if they decide to break in she can’t even hang pictures on her inside walls and the foundation well I’m not even going to go there with you!!! The calls that are never returned 😒 And you have the audacity to brag that you work for this shameful corrupt company 😫
