7. I suspect this company will go downhill

When people in the area read about this.

1st they overcharged for the units. Then they sold a 103 year old man a 10 year warranty. Did extremely shoddy work. The kicker, when they found out the man did not have access to his accounts (the son had power of attorney over his finances) they sent him to a predatory lender, instead of contacting the son who had control over his accounts.

IOW the AC company knew he did not have the faculties to handle his finances yet they sent him to a lender. The company claimed if they had known he didn't have the faculties to enter into the contract, with financial responsibilities they would have called the son.

Who wants to bet that the AC company and lender didn't know that having a power of Attorney over someone's accounts didn't prevent loans taken out in that person's name?
