Empire Kitchen Inc.

I read with shock another review where a client had to take this company to court just to get some relief. We just received judgement against this company with the Brampton Superior courts, Claim # SC 05 3992-00 in the amount of $7000, enough the judge said, to have our cabinets refaced. We contracted out Empire Kitchens August 2007 and had the new cabinets installed in December. They were missing doors, kickplates and needed many adjustments. After numerous phone calls, we were told every excuse: the truck broke down, his guys quit, family emergency, etc. Finally, On June 30th, 2008, we decided to take this matter to court. When the man who represents himself as the owner, Sammy (who isn't by the way~we found this out though examinations)was personally served by my husband and myself, he told us that our timing was horrible, and he didn't need this right now and asked when we wanted our cabinets fixed. my reply was "how about 6 months ago when you were paid in full". Now, while i'm happy about getting judgement for half of my kitchen, actually garnishing proves to be another issue. After spending huge amounts of money in PPSA searches, business searches and MTO searches, we were saddened to learn that we cannot put garnishment on his house as it is not in his name, his vehicle is leased and he is not on payroll. A business search pulled up 2 operating names: 1) Empire Kitchen Cabinets and 2) AEmpire Kitchen Cabinets. Very sneaky...in order to even do an amendment to our claim to add/edit the business names is another $50 to $100 dollars. I will no doubt pay it. If that doesn't work, I will be contacting Government Auditing agencies, media and anyone who will listen. Please, Buyer Beware... Do your homework First!
