My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Oregon. In the fall of 2014 i closed on a newly built home, and while the contractor did not adhere to the timeline, I was happy to have closed on the home and moved in. I didn't see any red flags other than the lack of organization in getting things done in a timely manner. And I didn't get the feeling that I should run in the other direction from my real estate agent either. Anyways closed on the home, moved in. Immediately things started falling apart....hardwood floor creaking, tacks used to install carpet became a painful nuisance each time my feet encountered one, the installers didn't cut these sharp metal staple like things so they stick up out of the carpet throughout the house. the second floor of the house trembles when a vehicle drives by any of the surrounding streets. the ceiling to the front porch is coming down...While I am in the process of filing a complaint with the CCB (tomorrow will be the 30th day since submit the pre notification), i noticed the contractors license status has changed from active to inactive/sabbatical. The contractor is well aware of the problem my real estate agent called and informed him of all that was wrong with the house. He responded denying these problems where occurring and that I was crazy. I would like to go through the CCB, however I would also like to find an attorney in case the inactive license may interfere with the CCB complaint filing process. it appears there are other homes by this contractor with issues, and one that recently sold but is vacant as the buyer is planning on renting it out, while the other is for sale, i would not be surprised if these two homes have the same issues as they are the same style home. Anyways, My concern is that I am a grad student, I do not have the money to pay up front. I don't believe a contingency lawyer exists in this category as I have yet to find one, however I am reaching out to see if others have resources they can refer me to, such state services, etc. thank you.
