I live in Terre Haute Indiana. The weatherization program promised me a year ago that they would replace my roof on my house. Now they are telling me they won't help after this man promised me they could fix it. Who can I call to file a complaint or what can I do to get help? I now have mold in my spare bedroom.

I would notify a local news station and have them do a human interest story on you. You will get results fast
the attorney general is a joke he is even afraid of a realtor who sold me a home in terre haute with so many problems ,I wrote to the mayor he's a joke as well no one in terre haute wants to help they all are afraid to stand up and fight they rather sit on there ass and stay quiet weatherization I have called them all last week and nothing this guy named john came to my home cause I had a gas leak fixed the pipe a week later had another gas leak cause the pipe wasn't fixed right cost me $100.00 to fix it and I really didn't have the money and when I told him about it, he said oh well not my problem and refuses to do anything to fix my home cause im not good enough for him to do the work and he's only a worker so tired of being bullied by these people I even wrote to the news and still nothing its like everyone in Indiana is afraid so what do I do now I live in a home I bought a year ago has 4 leaks in the roof, furnace so old its getting worse, now the foundation in the basement when it rains hard water come in and all because this realtor name troy helman sold this house to me when he knew there was so many problems plus he stole extra money from me, I have wrote to so many lawyers they are scared too, !!!!!
Hello. So sorry to hear you are having issues. Is this your weatherization program?
859 W Jackson Street, Suite A
Brazil, IN 47834
(812) 446-4000
If you have called them back and told them of your troubles and they haven't helped, I would work my way up the "food chain".
So by that I mean, contact your mayor (Bennett) at (812) 244-2303
If that doesn't help, you can try your town attorney general, (800) 382-5516
If that doesn't help, contact your state representative, Tonya Pfaff at 1-800-382-9842
If that doesn't work, go to your FEDERAL congress person:
Indiana Representative Larry Buschon (202) 225-4636, (812)232-0523
If you are polite, clear with your dates and what you were told and by whom, and ask for help, I would hope someone would help. These programs are for their constitutes...I would hope at one of these levels you will get action.
Clearly document everyone you speak to and what they tell you (name, date, time, and what they say). If at the end you STILL get no help, if you have a reporter at a newspaper you trust, you could take the story to them and perhaps they can help. Many years ago, when I was a reporter, we loved these kind of stories and would run with them.
Sending prayers and blessings that you can get it resolved at the first call!! Post back how it goes!
the mayor sucks they have such a bad attitude wont help , tonya pafiff told me I want good enough for her and she called the police on me told them I was going to hurt myself cause I asked her for help no one in terre haute cares about poor people who need help so what do u do !!!!!!!!!!
I am very sorry to hear that you have tried all of these venues and nothing and no one has helped.
Perhaps you could try your state senator and ask for help to find a legal aide lawyer from another community, who would NOT have ties to the realtor or anyone in your community.
Kind of like how the legal system handles cases where there is so much publicity about a happening in one town, that they go to another town for the trial. It helps the person get a fair and impartial trial--and it sounds like you need fair and impartial.
So maybe someone outside of your area (a lawyer) would be willing to help. Just a thought. If that doesn't work, I feel bad as these are all of the courses of action I know and have had success with in my life.
even other cities I have wrote to they wont help I just don't understand how they all can judge me saying im the bad person here when in fact all I did was follow the rules and in return they bully me and get away with it I man how is the lawyers so afraid of 1 man attorney general afraid I thought he was high and above of others, basically it all comes down to they screwed me and they know it and they don't care
dodgefan88,
When I sold homes in CA, which I'm not familiar with the laws in Indiana, but the (realtor) was responsible for YOUR transaction.
I know in CA, problems or issues like that with a home cannot be swept under the rug.
Now in all fairness, a realtor cannot know everything that may be hidden in the sale of someone else's house, but I would start there since it's only been a year since you've purchased the home. Was there a "Home Warranty" with the sale of the home? And usually before the close of escrow, a roof inspection is done too.
Look your purchase contract over well and go from there, (call your realtor's office) and see what they have to say.
dodgefan88,
I'm so sorry, I just now re'read your post, and it wasn't you'd just purchased your home a year ago, it's a weatherization program that had promised you a roof.
I'd call every city and county official in your area, and ask them what options you may have, especially regarding that weatherization program.
the realtor told me I didn't need a home inspection that I can trust them also they told me if I didn't buy the home they sue me any realtor who sells the home know all about it and they knew all about this home cause it should never been on the market they knew it had roof problems cause when I try to call them that man told me to go to hell and stole my home warr money as well so far everyone in the city of terre haute Indiana is afraid of just 1 man troy helman of Coldwell banker
dodgefan88,
I found this on the internet as I am not familiar with Indiana real estate law-(at all), and found this link that might be helpful to you in options, and it could give you a direction that could help.
I sure wish you the best.
