Nathan the Plumber ripped me off, a senior citizen

Nathan the plumber at 850-694-1102, showed up at my home 90 min. late after being referred by North Florida Lawn and Property Maintenance, to give me a price to install a water softener. He quoted me $300 including labor and materials. When the water softener was delivered a wk. later, we opened the GE box and it was broken. Nathan said he would go ahead and start some installation work. So, he used his BROKEN Clutch Saw to make holes in my flooring to insert the pipes and stunk up my house, like it was burning, for about a week. Then he runs out to ACE, 5 min. away to buy some fasteners, comes back and finishes that bit of work and asks for a deposit, after agreeing to be paid in full at end of job. So, I made the mistake of giving him $160, more than 50% of the total cost of the $300 installation, at the time he said " you can pay me the full amount I'm GOOD FOR IT". Well luckily, I was smarter than that, and didn't pay him in full, for a very small amount of work that day. Bottom line is, he never showed up again, 7 wks. went by and he kept putting me off. I finally texted him, as he would not take my calls, and said listen "keep $60 for your time here, and give me back $100. I am a SENIOR CITIZEN MAKING VERY LITTLE ON SOCIAL SECURITY". He refuses to give me any money back at this point. NEVER USE THIS GUY, HE IS DISHONEST AND HAS NO CONSCIENCE!!!
