Worst Mistake I've Ever Made
Buying a home from Richards Disadvantage Housing is the worst mistake I've ever made. No customer service skills, no honesty, failure to pay contractors with the money that I borrowed on my mortgage, constant lies. these are only a few things that come to mind.
I had to do much of the work that thier guys were supposed to do just so we could move in two months after the house was delivered. There are sill some things that have not been finished. we have had problems with A/C, heat, appliances, trim work that was not done correctly, and more other things than I can remember or list here. I should have done 5 minutes worth of research on the internet and saved myself a lot of trouble.
so too bad i had no clue, and have been goin through the same situation what should i do, what have you done? my name is kayla sullivan [protected]. i went to view a friend home that the had repoed and started discusing everything. Donna seemed like such a sweet heart, i thought she was really helping me. i found out real quick that she was only taking advantage of me! I viewed the home in Jan. filled out my paper work from feb to about May, mailed in my deposit then she kept avoiding me over and over. i tried to be understanding but getting sick all at the same time! Im 21 years old single mother with no help i dont need to be getting screwd over like this! she said the kept saying the hold up was a previous med bill that had been paid off and closed over a year ago. no there phones are disconnected and i have no idea of how to get my money back if you have any helpful info please help me!

My parents house burned down Thankdgiving 2008.They ordered a home from Richards Advantage housing in Centre, Al. and in Rome, GA. They put $50, 000 down on the home, in December of2008. Donna Richards and Wayne Goode have given us 4 deliverly dates. It has been 6 months and my parents are still living in a camper. We have had to involve the police and are going to file a law suite this coming week. Donna keeps telling us that she is having it delivered, but nothing ever comes. We are begining to think that she has spent our down payment and has not got the money to pay the manfuactor. We have also heard that the bank is going to forclose on Donnas business.Please dont give these people your money or business. Hopely by the time we are done with them they will be out of business.

You would want to check into Sheila Rankin and Kristi Rankin they went to work for Donna in 2005 after leaving Cloverleaf Housing in Cartersville, the owners at Cloverleaf found that Sheila was taking money from clients and contacted the clients and they sent the owner copies of checks that Sheila and forged and put in her name. Cloverleaf pressed charges against Sheila and Kristi and they were arrested for theft by conversion. Sheila opened a mobile home lot in Cartersville with the help of Donna called Cartersville Housing Center. Sheila took money from innocent people there and didn't pay her contractors as well. Donna was supposedly her investor in the whole scam!
My 84 year old uncle purchased a mobile home from Donna at RAH. The area was to be prepared by Donna's husband but he never showed up. Exactly one week from the purchase my uncle went in the hospital with chest pains and the Dr. told him he couldn't go back home alone and was suggested he go to the nursing home which he did. I called Donna and she said under these circumstances she would refund the money to him. That NEVER happened! We hired an attorney and actually won our case, now to only find out she's closed her doors. I'm sure there's no way of getting my uncles money back now. It's a shame that Donna took advantage of anyone, but especially an 84 year old man. We also got the run around and was avoided by Donna.
I'll tell you where to find her... there's a pawn shop caddy-corner from RAH... she OWNS it and her husband John runs it (he's the delivery guy at RAH...or supposed to be) anyway she goes there during the day and watches to see if anyone goes to RAH. But if you go in and ask for her they tell you they don't know a Donna Richards. But they do. She also owns a trailer park in cedar bluff, alabama, it's across from the country store on hwy 9. GOOD LUCK seeing her personally, there's alot of pissed off people and she is running scared. I went into the pawn shop with a friend that she screwed over and is avoiding and the kid behind the counter, one of her kids, told me he'd never heard of any Donna Richards, but I know for a FACT her and her husband John own that pawn shop!

Hello MXMom, please e-mail me at brotherturtle1@gmail.com and I can give you more info. I am also interested in what the news station had to say about this. There are a few other people that I can put you in contact with.
My husband and I also put a down payment on a home and was told our deposit was refundable if things didn't work out with the mortgage. Now we can't get our money back either. I have been promised I would be getting it back, but still haven't received anything. They have spent the money that is suppose to be in Escrow. It is against the law to do this. Now the numbers are disconnected and I have no way to get in touch with them. I went to the lot in Rome Friday June 19th and found a note on the door that said they were "rearranging the lot" and would reopen Monday June 22. Most of the homes were gone off that lot as well. If anyone has contact information please let me know. I would like to talk to anyone with information ASAP! I have filed with the BBB and also called the News station. If anyone else would like to join me with the News station, please let me know.
Thankfully we finally got smart. We went to them in December 2008 (after receiving monthly calls to come check them out). We also were given different dates. I asked that our application be stopped and Wayne basically refused. Finally I had to contact the finance company to stop my application. They wanted to know why and I told them the problems we had had with Wayne Goode. He even suggested us quick deeding our land to him. We are out the $500 down payment that he refused to give back. It brightened my day to ride by the lot in Centre and see everything moved.
E-mail me at brotherturtle1@gmail.com and I can give you more info. I am also interested in hearing your story. I assume you got took to the cleaners like the rest of us?
