In 2004 I was contacted by Kurt Bohn Jr. who wanted to
advertise "The Lodge At Weirs Beach" through
my website. He signed an agreement to work on a commission
basis with my company. A few months later, I booked some
clients into his property to run a workshop for one month.
Kurt cleared about $20,000 CAD and was supposed to pay
me a 15% commission. In fact he offered a higher commissioin
percentage than I had requested. He never paid me my commission
and the folks who rented the property said that although
they had paid in full, they would never go through a private
rental again because Kurt was so difficult to deal with.
He was never around and did not return phone calls. Kurt
continually lied to me about sending my payment, which
he never did. I spoke with other people in the Sooke area
and he has a bad reputation but somehow, in 2005, he was
able to finance "The Grouse Nest Resort" which
is a huge resort in Sooke BC. And he still would not pay
my commission and he made $20,000 through my site. He
is a crook who lies and steals. Beware, Be very aware
when you deal with him and his family. I have also filed
complaints with collection agencies in Canada regarding
the debt.
This week, the week of February 3rd, 2008, Kurt Bohn
Jr. has called me three times. The first time he called,
he said that he wanted to clear this up and make the payment
but that he had to transfer the money to his checking
account. He speaks in this sweet little boy's voice, trying
to sound so sweet and inocent, like he would never do
anything wrong. Then later this week Kurt called again
stating that I had to sign a document before he would
send the payment. Kurt also has asked me to reduce the
amount he owes me by over 20% but he wanted to pay by
credit card and also I had to sign a document. He said
that he was only trying to resolve the situation. I agreed
to the reduction in the amount he owes me, but I would
not accept a credit card from him because he can always
have the bank cancel the charge, nor would I sign anything
that he would ask for me to sign. I told him I wanted
a cashiers check in USD and I would not accept a credit
card as payment. However, once I received cash in hand
I would make efforts to remove any comments about him
I had posted on the internet. So today, February 09, 2008,
he called again. Kurt's tone had totally changed and he
said he is not paying. Saying I had done something wrong.
Of which I had not done anything during the time we had
last spoken. Probably the only reason he called this week
was because he wanted me to sign the document he submitted.
I think he was going to try and trick me in some way shape
or form.
This is probably the 12-15th or is it the 20th time he
has said he would pay me and he never does. That is why
I will not sign anything that is initiated by him. Originally
when I was dealing with him, I agreed to alot of stuff,
but now everytime he says he will pay I say I will believe
it when I see it. Don't waste your time with Kurt or the
Grouse Nest Resort
