That was an ancillary issue that Roxy brought up , which does happen more than it should. This is why I rely on references as a secondary, or even tertiary form of screening. Nobody know what goes on in evert goes on behind everyones scenes, but I have seen and heard of very reputable, seasoned, or as you would put it "good'' providers do this very thing and worse.... when push comes to shove.
That's not how I operate, because I choose to employ creativity as opposed to conniving when it comes to retaining customers. But it does happen. Legal businesses employ someof the same tactics.
Why would that be not present in the market here?.
