Pacesetter Lost
----------------------------------------
Thank you for your information on Pacesetter. I had been looking for
a phone number for them on the internet when I came across your
website. I just now cancelled my contract and thank goodness I'm
within the three days allowed. I'm much luckier than some people who
got sucked into purchasing from Pacesetter.
They came to our house (my house). My ex-husband who has been staying
there agreed to let them come over to give an estimate on replacing
windows and also informed them that we could not afford to purchase
windows at the present time. When they showed up I let him listen to
the spill, but when it came time to close the deal they wanted to
speak with me, at which time I informed them again that I could not
afford windows at this time. Well, that wouldn't do. They lowered
their price (from 6019 to somewhere around 4000) which I thought was
still extremely high for four windows, two of which were the size of
kitchen windows. And, they were throwing in a storm door. I agreed
and signed the contract. They were very set on making a sell and
probably wouldn't leave until they made the sell. Seemed like an OK
deal at $91 a month and payments didn't start until Feb 03. After
they left my ex-husband was figuring that it cost about $75 per
window. (I don't know how he graduated.) He thought instead of 4000
that it was 400. After he found out what they were actually charging
for the windows, he said he would replace them himself and for me to
cancel the contract. Now that I know how the really are, I will never
do business with them again. You have been a life saver. Thanks.
Follow-up message:
Some days after I cancelled my contract, not sure how many days it
actually was, one of the men from Pacesetter came by again,
uninvited. I suppose to try to sell me the windows again. I was in
bed with a horrible headache and in no mood for any salesman to be
hounding me. My daughter told me some man was here to see me. I
yelled from my bedroom "who is it?" When I heard his voice
announcing he was from Pacesetter, I screamed "go away and don't ever
come back again." I haven't heard from anyone from Pacesetter again.
And yes, Pacesetter sucks. Keep up the good work and good luck in the
legal battle. If you want to send me your fax number or mailing
address, I will try to find time to send a letter.
