I am having similar problems with USB. They have delayed the entire process for over a year, and then they served me with a lawsuit. USB does not act in good faith. Bob my salesperson is gone, and Jack is not helpful. I have had to hire an attorney in Florida to defend me. It is ludicrous!

JACK, you and the owners of the company are crooks. You stole my $15, 000 and then filed a lawsuit against me! How can you possibly think that is ethical?

Jack, Myself an attorney Marc Faust agreed to pay for 100% of the building via Escrow and you guys still refused to honor our agreement.

THIS COMPANY IS TOTALLY INCOMPETENT. THEY TELL YOU LIES! TAKE YOUR MONEY AND THEN FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE BUYER (Even though their own contract specifies problems will be handled in mediation)!

I have been in the real estate business for 22 years and I have never encountered people who are just plain and simply CROOKS!

JACK- please take $3000 for "engineering fees" and return the remainder of my $15, 000 deposit!

I know 100's of people could file a FDUPTA claim against your company and the owners William and Theodore Knote and Howard Zimmerman personally!

There is a reporter in Florida who is chasing these guys! Eme with THE SCOOP has apparently made some progress with getting money back for some people. She is also pursuing the individuals WILLIAM KNOTE, HOWARD ZIMMMERMAN, and others for Fraud under the FDUPTA laws. These guys need to go to jail. I was told they are currently operating another metal building company called SUPERSTEEL! Stay away from these terrible people! Here is a link to THE SCOOP http://www.v1-p.com/unitedsteel.html These guys, along with their attorney Jeffrey Berlowitz, have been deceiving folks for more than two years. I originally contracted to purchase a $37, 000 building in February of 2008 and immediately made a deposit of $15, 000 (more than required). A year later, I was still trying to take delivery of the building, and they sued me giving no legitimate reason for the lawsuit! It was their attempt to use the Broward County courts to "WIN BY DEFAULT". I am in Texas, so I was forced to hire a Florida Attorney for another $5, 000 who managed to get the case DISMISSED, but getting a building or even some portion of my deposit back never happened. I have heard that almost 50 people were victims of this scam and the Florida Attorney General Office has still not opened an "Official Investigation" as of today.
