"These guys are scam artisits! An appointment for Chem Dry to come to my house
was made by their representative. She told me that she needed my credit card to
secure an appointment in the amount of $100 and the card would be charged if I
cancelled or rescheduled the appointment after a certain date, which I did not.
She also gave me a phone quote of $198.05 to clean my carpets and $50 to spot
clean 4 spots which I specifically wanted cleaned, totalling less than $250.00.
Then a male representative came ,at the appointed time, and proceeded to tell me
that the actual cost to clean my carpets was going to be almost $380.00, which I
could not afford. He said that the extra cost was due to the many spots that needed
to be cleaned, but were not actually visible. He was using a black light to show spots
not visible to the regular eye. I told him that I just wanted the carpets to be cleaned
and to only treat the spots I originally spoke to the phone rep. about and that were
visible without the black light. At this time he began to get extemely rude and said
that he would not just treat the spots I wanted. He said I had to do all of the spots
in the whole house or he would not do anything at all! He then said he would charge
my credit card $100 if I refused to agree to allow him to do this work. At no point was
I ever informed that in giving my credit card to them to hold an appointment, was I also
allowing them to charge my card should I not decide to do business with them. No one
in their right mind would do this. He then proceeded to argue, bully and pressure me into
giving him almost $380! After he was way past the point of horribly rude, I asked him to
leave my home and that I would be contacting my credit card company of his dishonest
company practices. I have to say, I have never in my life invited someone into my home
and been treated so horribly rude. I have had many people, representing their companies,
come into my home and every single instance was very enjoyable, except for this.
This company is scamming people by taking their credit cards to "hold their appointments"
and then showing up to give some bogus and unfair estimate. Then they threaten to charge
your credit card $100 if you do not do business with them and just give in to their ridiculous
prices. I urge the person reading this to be extremely careful in dealing with this company.
Chem Dry has a full page ad in the phone book for this area and are very inviting to do
business with. I feel if this company is not dealt with harshly, many of the people in this
little community will be taken advantage of and treated poorly."
