To everyone who has posted here. Let me tell you something I am still fighting this nightmare and it has worsen. First of all, I did do my homework by seeing did the contractor have a license. There was a contractor listed as licensee with the state board, but I didn't find out until a year later that this licensee wasn't in the business any longer and hadn't been in a few years. Not only that, I found out that all of my closing papers were illegally signed, and I was in a home loan under false pretense. The builders were the son's of the licensee and using his license to build homes. I can't find any lawyer who will help. I've gone through 2 in the city, 1 in nashville, and several others who give excuses (outside of the city) as to why they can't help. The city of Clarksville is at fault because they allowed the son's to get apx. hundreds of permits illegally, even after they knew the story.. The title company is the same way. They kept closing for the Blackwell's even after knowing. The state licensing board is at fault because they knew the father wasn't in the business, but they did nothing about the fact that they were getting financial statements from the father in order to renew his license (how can you get statements when he wasn't in the business other than by way of fraud)? But, again, the state knew this and did nothing, plus they kept the father listed as licensee for 2 years after the fact (isn't that fraud to the public), then they allowed him to be listed as retired. Plus they allowed one of the son's to be licensed even after all they done. In TN it's a class c misdeameanor to build anything over $25,000 without a license, the Blackwell and Blackwell Construction built hundreds and all of the homes were built on illegal permits go to tn2realestates.com and type in Blackwell and Blackwell Construction you can see a lot of the homes they built. They were using the name listed above but they didn't even have a business license. Common sense tells you that you can't have a business license if you don't have a license as a contractor to run the business. They done all of this for years under there father's license who wasn't even in the business. So the son's names are on my mortgage papers so how can my loan be legal, but the mortgage company is holding me liable even though they know the whole story and have received 2 packets about it from me. I begged the state licensing board's director to revoke their father's license, but they wouldn't for whatever reason even though the director said she wish they could. I have proof of everything. It's all a big mess but I'm still fighting and will until the end. If you want to read the whole story go to
www.worldlawdirect.com and type in Blackwell and Blackwell Construction you will find two separate posts, one has a total of 35, the other has a total of 53, take your time and read them all. I also have some more up to date pictures. The seller of the Blackwell homes knew everything yet continued to sell their homes as did the real estate company. I contacted the two highest individuals in the real estate company and sent them a huge packet, they wouldn't even respond, it's Keller Williams Realty on wilma rudolph in Clarksville. I probably won't be posting here again because I am more focused on one posting area and that is the worldlawdirect.com site I provided. Thank you all.

Group is about people who got homes and realized it was a nightmare because the builders are unlicensed or just can't build, or perhaps both!
