MATCO TOOLS Franchise Complaints

  Had you read your franchise documents which you signed you would have realized this from the start of your business that psa contracts written within 90 days of your untimely demise would be charged back. Sounds like you should have gotten Jerry to read your franchise documents before you started.

• How many guests are on here????????

• Guest3, my route was in Jacksonville, Florida, southern states, with Darryl(dick)Pritchett and Mike(scum)Ramey.Stay away and run like hell. I am glad to see ADMIN getting in on the chat. This is starting to get real interesting. If you look at alot of the complaints, you will see alot of them are coming from this area,why?Matco has problems everywhere, just read all the posts. Debbie, great question about charge backs when terminated. It does sound like matco is double dipping, and that probably is illegal.If they purchase a contract, it should be a done deal.Keep posting and stand tall and be loud. GO GET EM JERRY.

• @guest2, I did read, didn't sound fair then either
  After reading the "churning" report - seems their PSA policy
  isn't the only Unfair practice!
  In fact, I'm quite certain "fair" isn't in Matco's vocabulary!

• i just got off of the phone with the credit dept. they wanted to know what i was going to do about it. i told them i was in discussion with an attorney at this time. i was then asked who he was and i told her , jerry. she sayed ok and bye. i did call jerry and had to send some paperwork,done. i have to call back monday and see what can be done.

• Boy Tommy wouldn't it be weird if you won a lawsuit against Matco then Pritchett and Ramsey won one against you for slander...just saying I would be careful

• "Boy Tommy wouldn’t it be weird if you won a lawsuit against Matco then Pritchett and Ramsey won one against you for slander…"

  Not to nitpick, but slander is spoken, libel is printed. Both are forms of defamation.

  From expertlaw.com: "The most important defense to an action for defamation is "truth", which is an absolute defense to an action for defamation... A defense recognized in most jurisdictions is "opinion". If the person makes a statement of opinion as opposed to fact, the statement may not support a cause of action for defamation."

  It's not slander if 1) you're clearly stating it as your opinion or 2) things you state as fact are true.

  Good stuff to know in these heated discussions. Just saying...

• Guest, never stated it to be a fact, this whole conversation on this site has always been my opinion. I feel it to be true with my personal thoughts against them and will defend my feelings and opinions. My opinion also is that this whole district thinks the same about them, I have spoken to a bunch of distr in this area who feel the same.

• "Guest, never stated it to be a fact..."
  I don't think anything you've said approaches defamation.
  Just more bullyboy tactics. Keep talking the truth, Tommy!

  I wish guest2 and guest3 would go get their own names :)

• I think all of the guest should state their names we know matco has problems with the way they treat their distr. Man-up , put your names out there and lets go after matco as a team, we have nothing to lose, if we were to lose in court (which I doubt), just file bankruptcy again, just as matco forced us to do when we signed with them. The bigger the team, the better. Stand tall, stand proud and be loud, voice your opinions and lets be heard.
