HomeOwners for Better Building organization warns: Florida eliminating Homeowners' Construction Recovery Fund

HOBB is an organization dedicated to helping homeowners resolve their construction defects, and exposing the use, abuse, and unfair tactics of forced binding mandatory arbitration. The Hobb organization works diligently to protect the rights of millions of homeowners...homeowners that often don't know HOBB exists, until that is, their dream home turns into their personal nightmare! The nightmare could be the result of a home full of mold, shoddy workmanship, substandard foundations, mortgage fraud, forced binding arbitration, an illegal foreclosure or a project abandoned by a contractor. Whatever the nightmare -HOBB has been working tirelessly to strengthen and protect the rights of homeowners on local, state and federal levels.

Don't wait for your own nightmare to happen before you familiarize yourself with the great work HOBB does for homeowners across the country. Currently HOBB is alerting Florida residents that Florida's Construction Recovery Fund is in danger of being eliminated. Right now, under Florida law you have certain rights if you suffer damages caused by a state-licensed contractor or a construction company with whom you have signed a contract. Under this Recovery Fund you may be eligible for reimbursement if you have suffered monetary loss due to certain acts by the contractor, financially responsible officer or licensed business organization. If the recovery fund is eliminated, where will you turn for reimbursement if you wake up to your own nightmare?

Here is call to action from By: Linda Armstrong, President Florida Chapter HOBB

ATTENTION: FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS' CONSTRUCTION RECOVERY FUND TO BE ELIMINATED

This is a CRITICAL ALERT from HOBB -for every citizen in the State of Florida. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation has proposed to eliminate the Construction Industries Recovery Fund as part of its Budget cuts for the upcoming Special Legislative Session in September. All consumer organizations, homeowners, harmed consumers and each citizen in the State should immediately contact Governor Crist in opposition to this. We cannot afford to lose any of the precious little consumer protection we now have in the State of Florida.

PLEASE contact Governor Crist by e-mail or phone, or both if you wish. The contact information is as follows:

E-mail Gov. Crist: Charlie.Crist@MyFlorida.com
Telephone: 850-488-4441

You may state any reasons why you feel this is bad for the citizens of Florida or simply say:

"WE OPPOSE THE ELIMINATION OF THE HOMEOWNERS' CONSTRUCTION RECOVERY FUND AT THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION."

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We all need to continue to work together to better protect the citizens of Florida.

Sincerely,
Linda Armstrong - President Florida Chapter
