SCUM BAG ALERT* Do not do business with A-1 Recycling

[LurkerCharters]

This company is owned by Paul Hunt from Hull, ex commercial fisherman. I gave him 398 lbs of marine bronze to be recycled, estimated value of about 1000.00. I had a soft spot for him because he was a fisherman and now he is trying to make a new business. BIG mistake, He took our scrap on 11/22/10 and He won't give me the money which was supposed to be a christmas bonus for the tech's in my shop. He is a liar and a total scum bag, I hope you rot in hell Paul! If anyone knows him can you please try to talk some sense into him. A state trooper friend of mine already tried but Paul just told him lie after lie. I am filing paper work to take him to court and have a complaint in progress with the BBB.

Forget BBB, they will be no help.

Ya, I wasn't sure what they could do but I figured anything to rattle his cage is good. they have sent him a letter to make him aware of the complaint. I am going to the court house in a few minutes to file a small claims case against him. I will get him, he screwed with the wrong shop.

Do you know if he is ill or if there has been a family emergency or did he just tell you to GFYS

[LurkerCharters]

No, he is just a liar. He can explain it to the judge, I filed a small claim on friday. I've never been to small claims court so this should be interesting.

Make sure you bring all your documentation and along with that here in NJ the scrap yards keep a detailed set of records on recyclers and such. If you know the scrap yard etc it may be a good idea to subpeona the yard to appear as a witness.

Otherwise the judge might throw it out for lack of evidence supporting your claim.

The more paperwork pictures emails documents you bring the better case you have rather than he said she said oral arguments, where the judge might say sorry to both and you have wasted a day.

Any papers you have make one copy of the originals to give to the judge when you appear in court.

In NJ you meet with mediation 1st to attempt to settle your claim. They normally set payment arrangements or payment in full or they will say you really have no case.

Good luck!

Lurker, I move about 50,000 lbs of steel scrap a week, about 14,000 lbs of aluminum a month and other mixed metals. In the future, call Rick at Industrial Metal Recycling in Canton. Good friend of mine and has turned my scrap program into a profit center. As to any illness of other such ******** excuses, nope, not buying it. The scrap metal industry is replete with low-life arseholes and it sounds like you hit one. Good luck in small claims...
