Blue World Pools rip off kings (fight back)
I called the number as advertised on TV to inquire about the selection of above ground pools. Guy shows up on 5/9 at 730pm didnt leave until after midnight on a weekday.
I was bamboozeled to signing this god for saken contract for a 8800 above ground pool 18x48. The very next day (i know ***) i decide to read what i have signed and immediately contacted my sales guy via, Email and said i wanted to cancel. He then called me and said ok ill take care of it. I then asked is there anything else i need to do?
he said no ill cancel it. So i go on about my day and when i got off something told me to just send a text to make sure i had canceled in time etc. He then called not text back and said i was good and would receive my 400 deposit back. I was like cool.
I went out Friday May11 and purchase another above ground pool from a local store 21x52 for 3000.00 and took it home. (this how much i was sure this was over) I then get a call on 5/14 Monday from the financing department from blue world pool stating that they were calling to go over my financing terms. I then said oh no i canceled dont need to. hung up.
This guy called me back 5 mins later Kevin Fisher stating my three day time ran out and in order to cancel i needed to pay 4400.00 or just continue on with the process i then said NO i dont want it good bye. (hung up) he called right back and said take it or pay 4400 or we will put a lien on your house and foreclose on it. MY HEART SUNK AND I IMMEDIATELY FREAKED OUT THINKING WHAT IN THE HECK HAVE I SIGNED...so not wanting to alarm them and buy myself sometime to think I said ok fine ill just go through with it he then said ok financing will call you later to go over terms. I immediately started looking up lawyers that deal with consumer fraud, consuemr law deceptive trade practice etc.
My goal was to not alarm this company until i one disputed my deposit with my ccard company, closed my cking account and put an alert on my ssn before they went haywire on their end. So after seeing 3lawyers and speaking to over a dozen. I have decided illl take my chances fighting this company. I will not allow them to bully me into installing a pool i cant afford and dont want.
They quoted me a rate of 35% a payment of 229 for 144 months that is obsurd to pay on anything other than a house that long. Ill be ***....so as of now this is my status. ...Blue world pool thinks everything is going as planned mean while im researching and have closed all my accounts they have access too and hired a lawyer who will deal with them going forward.. Ill take a breach of contract or any other consequences but i will not stand to be bullied by these *** who have been taking advangtage of ppl for so long.
I hope my story will encourage others to fight as well.
DONT LET THIS COMPANY SCARE YOU WE STILL AHVE RIGHTS ALTHOUGH WE SIGNED ON THE DOTTED LINE WITHOUT READING AND THROUGHLY UNDERSTANDING...DONT FEEL *** BECAUSE OF THIS.....I HAVE A BA IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND I WORK IN CORPORATE AMERICA AND THEY GOT ME TOO. U JUST WANT TO MAKE UR FAMILY HAPPY BY GETTNG A POOL NO NEED TO FEEL *** OR DUMB EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES ITS WHAT YOU DO AFTERWARDS THAT COUNTS.....
Monetary Loss: $8800.

Well congrats to you. Seriously.
The exact same thing happened to except i tried to cancel before they had installed the pool and they bullied me into getting it installed the same way (mr kevin fischer.)Well jokes on him because i decided to sell my home and didnt tell them so they couldnt put a lein on my home. They tried doing everything to get money but i closed all my cards, accounts, amd put a fraud alert on my ssn just like you did and there was nothing they could do except write off the pool as a loss!!!!
Never showed up on my credit they stopped coming after me since they couldnโt put a lein on my house (i sold the damn thing!!) i told them they could still come get the pool but they never did and this was about 3years ago. Im glad someone else got the better of them to!!
Same here in south Texas. Everything they told us was a lie.
Our pool was not installed correctly so it has huge trenches going through the bottom of it. They tell you it comes with a lifetime warranty but nothing is covered.
Ours had trenches and they never did anything about it, we sold our house paid the pool off because they had a lien on our house and I wish I could find the owner in a dark alley sometime. The whole situation was outrageous and a complete scam. I hope they all burn in *** for how they take advantage of unsuspecting people.
Us too in Florida, looking into what we can do
Here in Florida too what a nightmare of a company I hope they get whatโs coming.
I hope so too. I called the Attorney General to ask about it, I read online that in 2008 they did an investigation into the company and the company wasn't prosecuted because they promised not to ever operate in Florida again. So I will update after I speak with them.
I just had to pay mine off in Florida with the sale of my house, nightmare of a story I wonโt go into but Iโm sure you all are familiar with. 24k after owning 3 years of payments came off of my house price. We were totally shafted and have very much felt we should be able to fight back but just donโt have the resources to do so.

This has happened to me in Texas also. I want to be apart of the class action lawsuit also.
I have hired an attorney and we are sending a letter to cancel.
Does anyone have Kevin Fisherโs email. I do not want to talk to him but email him and say to contact my lawyer with any further discussions
Us too.. they installed our almost 90 days later.
The next day we noticed it has a leak. We called immediately, took pictures, sent emails with pictures to bwp.
We got NOTHING!! That was over 3 months ago..still a leaky pool.
I would like to come suit eaze telle how they ignored our phone calls screwed us. So much too much to even explain
They are threating me also and not even finished the pool. They wont return
Yeah they are threatening us too with taking our house and all of our belongings saying we signed it over! For an above ground pool? Shady people need to be put out of business

Anyone in SC seeking legal action? Cannot believe we fell for this.
You could contact the f.b i fraud division white collar crimes because what they have been doing for many yrs to many people is fraud by deception
I thought I was the only idiot who fell for this. My Mom has had dementia for years and I signed her name for her bc she didn't understand nor really did I bc the guys promised the world. Help.....
Have a lawyer file a motion to stop the lien
First thing you need to do is contact the bbb then get a lawyer then you file a complaint with the attorney general .then file one with the f.t.c also here is the name and address of the owner of blue world pools. Michael a.
