I don't know who you are but I appreciate your post. Oh yes, they will pay before it's all over. Had they done the right thing in the beginning it wouldn't be at this point, but NO they wouldn't, because they are all of that I suppose in the city of Clarksville, TN. They made millions (this year along they've sold millions in home sales, look it up for yourself, building homes over $270,000, etc), but they don't want to do the right thing when they KNOW they are wrong. They can try to clean it up anyway they can, but there's no way they can clean it up, because the damage is done and they are just going along like nothing. Even the board tried to help them clean it up. It was so hilarious when I sent emails between myself and the Board's director to the Regulation Board, proving my case. She forgot that she said those things. She couldn't clean it up. It was so hilarious to me. That shows how they think they're untouchable.

Yes they surely can and should have been. Research it in other states, they've (unlicensed contractors),gone to jail and pay huge to homeowners (the Blackwell's weren't licensed contractors at the time, nor were they licensed to operate a business, but in the city of Clarksville, TN they were) I got proof of that too, from the business license office who issue license. But, think about it, if you don't have a license to perform a certain job, you know there's no way you can have a license to operate a business. Plus they done a lot of illegal signing of papers and frauding to the public, city, and the state. Money goes a very long way in the cities and state of TN regardless of what it does to hurt the citizens and that has to come to a stop. This city needs the FBI and I don't mean local I mean the one's from DC or someone to come in and investigate all of the businesses. It's a pure shame and when you complain you end up being the person everyone hates. Well, I don't care if I'm wronged I'm going to speak out about it.

Here I sit signed into a loan illegally and under false pretense, plus the home is terribly built and built by unlicensed builders, plus all the other illegal things they done. So yes, they surely could go to jail because in TN you can't build anything over the amount of $25,000 without a license. So how do you add up 100's of homes that were built without a license, therefore the permits were illegally gotten as well (but of course the city knows that too)? That surely constitutes several felonies it would seem. Even though the permits department told me that they didn't know the father wasn't in the business because he had a letter on file saying the son's could get permits on his license, is that legal? As the permits issuance dept. they should have known who the contractors where and if they were in the business so that doesn't make sense. And IF by CHANCE it were true, then WHY would the dept. continue to give them permits after the fact of finding out everything that was going on. Come on, something is wrong with that.

Blackwell & Blackwell Construction, Clarksville, TN Violation: Unlicensed activity

I for one will do this, but my question to you is this; is this something new since the 2008 $1000 fine that they were given? I know they were fined $1000 for building my home unlicensed, but the joke about that is this; they built 100's of them and that's a class C misdemeanor for each home built without a license and over $25,000, but they were only fined $1000 by the board. A total joke and shame. It made/makes them (the board), look bad. Plus they allowed Eric to get a license after all the deceitfulness, lies, misrepresentation, false documentation, fraud to the board, city, and public. Well I'll stop there, because it always gets my blood pressure rising.

The Blackwell Boys and Father are great wonderful people. If you have a problem with your house stop and think about what your wants were. I have lived in a Blackwell built house for 21 years and are still here .. No problems at all. So don't be to quick to judge those if you don't want to be judged.

The devil lives in those builders...evil they are.

Don't I know it! What I found quite amusing is this; channel 5 news will be airing a report on an unlicensed builder in TN that owes the state $25,000. Why? Because I know that there's no way in the world he committed all the acts that have been committed by the Blackwell's (father and sons), yet this particular builder owes the state $25,000 for some reason. I find that quite odd. Another thing that's quite odd is the fact that Channel 5 news came to my house early on and stayed for a while talking and shooting pictures. Then once Ben got all the information and asked me for the numbers to the City building permits department and the Board, etc Prior to him leaving he told me that my story would air, and he and his camera man acted all appalled, etc. He left, I heard nothing else. I called him multiple times and I emailed him multiple times. He wouldn't respond. I even tried two more of their reporters, but none of them will respond. I don't know what the city and the board said to Channel 5, but for them to have an investigative team and for them to take the word of the accused and not the word of the victim when the victims evidence shows much proof, it blows me away. My home is soooo much worst since they came. I remember Ben asking me why didn't I allow the builders back in again to repair and I told him, 1st of all I begged them to come and look at the horrible repairs that were done by two subcontractor's, they wouldn't even do that and the only reason they finally 9 months later wanted to come in was because I had complained to every agency and person possible, but by then I found out they weren't licensed, and shouldn't have even built the house, etc. This case is easy to prove by checking; permits department, by bank mortgage loans, title company closing papers, consumer contracts, paper work at the board, the tn real estate website of the homes built, the leaf chronicle of transfers by them, city's deed's office, all the email's that I have and other paperwork. I'm positive that they have tried to clean some of it up and the board proved that, but there's so much evidence out there that can't be cleaned up. The fact that the board allowed Mr. Blackwell name to stay listed as the licensed contractor from the end of 2007 until 2009 knowing that he himself was not in the business (isn't that fraud to the public and false advertisement)? This can be proven by all of the permits and the loan and title paper work with the banks and consumers. The board director herself said that if Mr. Blackwell himself was not the sole name on all paperwork that it was illegal and a violation, that's how they were able to fine them all. Funny thing about that, when they fined him (Mr. Blackwell), they fined him as contracting in a name other than his business name, which THE BOARD knows that's a lie and again fraud to the public, city, and state. Why? Because it wasn't the proper way to fine him, how you can you fine him that way, when he wasn't even in the business, his sons were running it, illegally of course, not licensed as contractor's or as a business (you can't have one license without the other and that's common sense)? Yet, if you go through disciplinary actions from the board's website some people are fined up to $25000 but between Mr. Blackwell and his son's and all of the civil and crimminal things done by them, they were fined together $4000. Then for the Board to give Eric Blackwell a license after all of this is an outrage! The board director had to nerve to tell me that they never got the list of homeowner names and addressed who homes the Blackwell's continued to build after the cease and desist and she knows that's not true. I provided proof of the emails I sent to the director, and assistant director, and the board's attornery, plus I called the director Ms. Lazenby personally and left a message. So they got the information, they just didn't use it. NOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I went on a tangent again. It always get's me going when I talk about this. But, back to channel 5, I don't get it. They were obviously lied to and they bought it.
