Lavin Baby Center are thieves

by rjarro

Lavin Baby Center are theives, and I can not believe that they are getting away with what they have done to so many families. I paid my furniture in FULL which I have receipts for. After calling them to scheduledelivery of my $2300 funiture set, their excuse was that their warehouse got flooded and the insurance company was going to replace my damaged furniture. When 6 weeks went by I decided to call Lavin to check status. They were completly gone. No phone numbers, no company, and worst of all I had NO FURNITURE. I have heard stories from other families that this has happeed to and in one case their was $15,000 that merchandise was never delivered for. I think that everyone affected should get together under one lawyer, and go after their assets. I want my money back, whatever I can get. Anyopne that would like to do something about this or can give me any sort of information please contact me by e-mail at r_jarro@yahoo dot c0m. Theres no point in warning people about it now, its not like Lavin even exists anymore. We have been robbed, and we know who robbed us so are we just going to let them get away with this? Please contact me ASAP. I need my money, you nedd your money. Together we will make more of an impact.

Does anyone know who their lawyer is? Or if anyone can please give me direction.

Thanks.

PS.

Ruddy and Willy should be thrown in jail. Willy is a coward for using his wife to face the customer and lie to their faces. She is even worse actually take part in it. They are criminals. THEY STOLD OUR MONEY, and they are roaming around free! I would like to take legal action, I am willing to get my own lawyer or go under somebody elses. UNION? yeah.

• Cons: Con-ARTIST is what they are. The con is giving them lots and lots of money and recieving nothing in return.

Horrible Store

by Eva2378

I paid for a crib and was suppose to go pick it up. Had to pay it in full because it was on clearance and they didnt allow layaway on cribs. Went to pick it up and they were GONE! Fraud isnt the word, they should be ashamed of themselves. Having a baby is suppose to be a happy moment you dont expect to be stressed. Would love to know what TV station did the story on them. I disputed with my card, and placed complaints with consumer services and better business. Luckily I paid with my card. I got my money back and bought my baby a new crib at La Ideal. But I feel sorry for the people who paid cash...only way of getting that is a going to court. That is my next step. Half tempted to go to their house. On sunbiz dot com it gives their home address. Willy's wife, the only daughter of the original owner her father has dragged her poor dead fathers name through the mud. The old man must me turning in his grave. God doesnt like ugly...they will get theirs.

Commited fraud

by Ely80

WOW, I am so glad to see that you are all writing up on this. It happened to me too, ordered furniture 9/2007, promised for Nov or Dec. which was ridiculous that it would take 8-10 weeks right. But I know we all believed them, well yeah after calling every week and being told that it was in the next delivery and that for sure by 12/17/07 I would be receiving it, I called on the 20th to find phones were disconnected. Showed up on the 21st to find them loading trucks, saying for inventory. When I asked for Willy, they said I'd need to speak to his attorney, who doesn't come to the phone, by the way. Then I called Bonavita too, and to my surprise, they told me Willy had not placed orders there in a very long time. So yes he commited fraud against all of us and we definitely need to do something about this. I disputed with my credit card and they took off $1,400, but I had paid $600 in cash as well ( all up front) how stupid I felt. I did hear that one of the news stations has put the story out there. This story needs to be told to everyone so that this man cannot open another store and do this to even more people.
