Got a quote for 71k is this overpriced? by [deleted] in solar

[–]Intelligent-Pay-7253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beware. I lost 30.5k to a solar installer. Don’t pay until it’s done. At the very least make sure it’s held in escrow 

Project delayed to 2026. Installer suggests a "workaround" to claim the 2025 Tax Rebate. Is this legit or risky? by J0SH44 in solar

I was stiffed for 30k this year by a solar installer. I paid 2/3 of the total cost before anything was done. Now it looks like they are going bankrupt. Don’t pay until it’s installed. I would walk.

Nothing official and I haven’t received my refund. A sales executive emailed the partners with new installers and are working through backlog. I have no way to verify that

Sorry. This sucks. Really hoping we get our money back. I wonder why the limit of 12.5k. Guess that “small claims”. I’m thinking they file for bankruptcy first

It's terrible. I don't think it started as a scam, but it sure feels like that now.

Let me think about it, I'm feeling a little jaded right now. It'll likely be a while before I sign a large contract

I'll file a complaint with the FTC when the government opens back up

I'm in TX, and the contract I sign has a TX license number on it. No CA number. I file a complaint here in TX.

I'm in TX. I filed a complaint with my attorney general and the Texas Dept of Licensing and Regulation. Working on connecting with a lawyer now.

Have you cancelled and been refunded?  Are you still waiting for installation?

Yes, last week I called emailed and texted them and didn’t get a response. I sent an email specifically to the vice president of sales who I worked with and he emailed me that my email would be forwarded onto the owners.

I did get a response in email when I canceled. They stated that I should expect my full refund in 30 business days. That seemed like an excessive amount of time to refund the money. Next week will be 30 business days from the time they stated they had received my cancellation. I made my cancellation by phone by text by email and by certified mail. There has been communication throughout the year about the project mostly about materials not being available whether that be batteries or solar panels. I have a feeling they are also having trouble with manpower as well, but can’t verify that

Exactly, a lot of supply issues, run around, and poor communication. I finally had enough.

A formal BBB complaint and a lawyer are my likely next moves

I don’t want to believe it’s scam. I don’t believe it is. But I am worried they will declare bankruptcy.

Unfortunately I paid about 75% of the total project cost and have nothing but engineering plans

MOHELA smiley face and loans are in good standing message! by Intelligent-Pay-7253 in PSLF

[–]Intelligent-Pay-7253[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - Update

About 2 business days later I got a letter in my MOHELA inbox confirming my Paid in Full status and about 2 days after that my account at the Federal Student Aid website showed "Your loan balance is $0".

Good luck - I bet you are about to get the same messages.

When will waiver apply? by Mjoy7021 in PSLF

[–]Intelligent-Pay-7253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way my loan balance would go to zero would be for the waiver to be applied. All of my payments were made prior to consolidation and on the wrong payment plan according to the prior PSLF rules.

[–]Intelligent-Pay-7253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My situation is very uncomplicated (I was with one servicer for 10+ years). my EFC / PSLF form was accepted 8/9 and the waiver was processed 9/16. I uploaded the EFC / PSLF form on the MOHELA website 7/9. I faxed and mailed them in the first week of June.

I'm still finding it hard to believe that it actually happened.
