A few things have happened in the last week or so, on the 13th May 22, 2009 I went to Bundaberg Court House, to ask the Court to issue a Summons for John Biles to appear in Bundaberg Court on the 11th June, to answer why he has not paid the adjudication amount that was awarded to me, this non payment raises a lot of Questions as to why he has not paid it?, the only main reason seems to be that Coral Coast Homes has no money, I mean what normal person would purposely Flush his Company down the drain?, after this was sorted with Bailiffs,  I met with Ian Jennings and his team, at the court house along with a few other tradesman, at this meeting Ian handed me a Cheque for $6700.00 that he was able to secure from John Biles when they met with him earlier, to discuss why he was not paying anyone, I was grateful for this, but unfortunately this was short of what was owed to me, John had bluffed Ian to what the true amount was?, for the next hour the tradesman that came and myself  had a informative talk about the CCH situation with Ian and his team, we also made Strong Criticism of the BSA position in the regulating of Builders especially now in the wake of all  the Global problems, I feel we make a lot of valid points, as for Change I guess we will have to wait and see?, the wheels turn very slowly?. As for the current situation Coral Coast homes still owe me $1361.00 left to pay, I am glad it is down to this amount, but I am still going forward with the Court date, to recover what’s left, hopefully this can be recovered, but the amount of tradesmen that are owed money, it could be to much for him to pay, as I personally believe that the Company is Insolvent. I feel sorry for a lot of people that are owed money, but this has been going on for years, and he should have been closed down sooner, it would have stopped a lot of people being caught.

Yesterday Morning I talked to Rob Messenger about the situation and he said he is willing to help everyone, but he needs everyone to submit to him there claims against Coral Coast Homes, there details and how much is owed, so he has something to work with, he has suggested doing a media interview to cover from BSA issues to builder Issues, I have agreed to participate in this event, also the information gathered, he wants to submit to parliament on the 19^th of this month to the minister for housing about these issues also, I am currently waiting for him to set dates.

A lot of tradesmen have contacted me, because of the adjudication case I ran against john biles of Coral Coast Homes, this is available for public viewing at the BCIPA website for all to see, my case against him was 100% plus costs my way yet despite this he still would not pay by due time, which I thought was quite crazy thing to do, because the next step is for the bailiffs to seize assets, to the value enough to pay the account up, which for any so called respectable company, would be Commercial suicide, anyway despite this I have had no option but to submit judgment to Hervey Bay Magistrate Court to be enforced, the first time, yes I did say first time, I don’t know if its one of johns nine lives kick in or not but while I was there filing the paper work, a fax was coming through at my office saying they wanted to pay up the account, so after talking to the officers I temporary held off continuing, which I then made a call on the spot to Coral Coast Homes office getting John Nairn, who promised me that it was genuine no mucking around, which I thought well finally it will be over, well come the middle of next week still no money, wtf again ringing them, no one available again, I left a message that I would be going back to the court house, which seem to prompt something because on Friday, the secretary rang to let me know that she was putting money in my account, finally! Guess my shock when she told me, she was only authorized to put $2000 in the account, I promptly told her that was not good enough by any means, after that I text messaged the two Johns that come next week, I will finish filing the paperwork, which I have now done. I am currently waiting for the bailiffs to issue John with a summons to explain his contempt for the court system, and what his Company’s financial position is. Which seems to take forever? It should not be this hard?

Welcome to my rant page, this has come about because of the controversy with Coral Coast Homes, and the number of people that have contacted me, so I’m going to add my bit,
