Ms. Bowley, I don’t know if you are aware- but this is a public forum- so your comments are in the public domain.
I would agree with you that there are likely content inspectors involved in the wind mitigation re-inspection program that would not be gainfully employed otherwise. Regardless of inspectors being “content and making money” in the wind mitigation re-inspection program, it doesn’t change the facts that there are problems with the entire scheme. Some could and will argue that the entire program is corrupt with crony capitalism, collusion, and racketeering.
A “happy customer” or in this case, “happy inspector” depends on one’s perspective.
Your comments are not for public broadcast? You’re on a public forum!
Your motives are completly suspect. You chime in on every discussion concerning the re-inspection debacle and tout it’s benifits.
Worse still, there are several NACHI guys actively doing these re-inspections. One of them, whose identity will not be mentioned. Was told by his supervisor to stay off this forum and any issue regarding re-inspections. That is, if he wants to keep working with them.
Yet here you are, every time the topic of re-inspection comes up. Now, you want your comments to be kept from the public?
People, what I said was this: “What the tech bulletin says or doesn’t say, or my comments pertaining to it, are not for public broadcast.”
Meaning, whoever sent that bulletin to John to post, is completely unprofessional and I will not comment about **it (the bulletin). The comments I have pertaining to that bulletin are between me and the company who posted the bulletin, NOT FOR THE PUBLIC. **
I DO REALIZE THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM. DUH.
I will, however, post how annoying it is reading posts attacking a company we are content working with, and how infuriating it is reading posts bad-mouthing anyone who performs reinspections. The reinspections are needed; We do them no differently than we do our own retail inspections, which we also do, and have been doing, for over 5 years now.
So I believe I have a right to defend what we do, and who we work with. You can bet I’ll pop right in whenever, yet another, annoying post pops up about the infamous reinspection program.
THE only inspectors that say they are not upset are the ones that are afraid of losing work. I have spoken to 25 inspectors. They all feel the same, including you. The just dont want to rock the boat in fear of losing work. Dont put all your eggs in one basket or at least not one where they get stolen out of.
Preston, with all due respect, please don’t put words in my mouth. I never said I was afraid of rocking the boat. I say what I feel, and I don’t really care what boat I rock. Yes, the work is excellent and I wouldn’t want to lose it, but these bulletins go out to protect the company. Just like in a new home construction contract: in mine it states we charge a $125 change-order fee. Do I charge that? No. but if I ever have a client who takes advantage, then I absolutely will. Our eggs are not all in one basket, which is why we can handle some of the things that others can’t.
Because if you disagree with the regular posters on this site, you get raked over the coals, whether it has to do with this issue or not. This is not a very welcoming board.
When I post, I’m not posting to try to change any of your minds (you regular posters). I’m posting for those on the sidelines who can’t, or won’t.
Just maybe, if they would pay monies owed, stop changing the program and charging more fees and then making reasons to charge more fees and then had a full accounting of the fees, then MAYBE nobody would send me this stuff.
It seems the program works much better at the other two companies. I think the re-inspection program is good, but a company implementing it is bad.
Full disclosure of fees and full complete accounting would go a long way/
I dont get paid once a week fro them. In fact i havent done an inspection through them in a long time and am still owed a lot even though they have said i am one of their best inspectors. Difference, i am not a PR person for their company like you seem to be. I hate having to post this stuff here but when you get the run around what else do you do? And forget if you eant to work under snother company. They have to release you…good luck!
If you want to do reinspection through another company ID needs to release you first from working under their company. There are some little road blocks in the process. I am not sure if that can cause hardship to my family to not allow me to work.
Unless you are an exclusive employee, I doubt they have to release you from anything.
The post I made previously with regards to the mortgage company that tried that ended up in a class action lawsuit…and the company as well as the owners ended up filing for bankruptcy. I have also known several others who got out of such contracts, including myself, very easily.
