In August of 2017 My cleaning company was subcontracted by Marathon Resource management group to Clean college apartments in AMES, Ia it's call TURN from August 1 till 17th. James Stewart meet with me and my company and explained and showed us what rooms we would be cleaning, We gave him a offer for the rooms he showed us and signed a contract with Marathon Resourse managaement.
Keith Poore meet with us and give us our apartment room numbers that needed cleaned, within the first time everything totally changed instead of cleaning THE EDGE APARTMENTS like we was told we was going to be doing Keith moved us over to COPPER BEACH apartments in Ames these apartments are double the square footage double the size double the windows , but we still proformed the work and got the job done,
Our company cleaned over 200 rooms and when it was all done and said after sending in our invoices and this was almost a year ago now and our company still has not been paid from them. MARATHON RESOUCE MANAGEMENT GROUP DOES THIS TO EVERY COMPANY THEY HIRE. They tell you all year long how this company has not paid them, then if you talk to any other person or company they get you with this legal term. SO then I had to deal with their attorney Brandan and still have not gotten anything taken care of other then in that contract I signed even thought the work was done in Iowa If I'm taken them to court I will have to hire attorney in Richmond VA. and go to court their. SO needless to say thats the directions I'm heading now. They owe me over $20,000 and have not paid me a dime.
After googling this company I have found hundreds of companys just like me that they have not paid. and the said thing is they have this contract with alot of apartment owns again In AMES IOWA this year. SO I'm sure they are going to do it again to another local company
This company is either on extreme financial difficulty or is completely composed of con-men. We completed a large student turn painting project for them in Iowa at Copper Beech Student Townhomes in August of 2017. It's now March 2018 and we still haven't received the $7400 owed. They have handed us from one middle manager to the next trying to delay pay. Then they threatened us with an bogus and unlawful "cease and desist" order from their amateur 20 year old attorney, when we filed the lien on the property where we conducted the work. According to the terms of their vendor contract it is a "pay when paid" company. However, they never provided us with a service agreement, so luckily we did not fall into their trap. They are claiming non-payment from the client, however I have verified payment with their client (against their wishes).
DO NOT DO WORK FOR THESE PEOPLE!!!! I WISH I HAD JUST GOOGLED THEIR NAME AND CHECKED OUT THE GOOGLE REVIEWS PRIOR TO WORKING FOR THEM.
fyi since all the subs like myself who have been screwed starting posting to their google reviews they have had all their staff make positive comments on their personal profiles. Do not fall for it!
I WAS GIVEN A CALL TO SERVICE A COMPANY IN WESLACO TEXAS, I WAS TO CUT 2 ACRES AND TRIM SOME HEDGES, I WENT BACK 3 TIMES, BECAUSE THEY KEEP ASKING FOR PICTURES. I CALLED THE REPRESENTIVE FOR PAYMENT AND EMAIL HER, THEN CALL THE COMPANY AND NO RESPONSE. SO I EMAILED COMPANY, NO RESPONSE. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.
Marathon Resource Management Group, hired us to clean college apartments and after we cleaned over one hundred apartments and turned in our invoice the company has not paid my company, they say the reason they did not pay is because of apartment owners have not paid them yet, well I have contacted the property owners and they said they would be glad to show me proof they have paid Marathon Resource company in full so I contacted marathon asking them if this was true, and boy how fast did they change their tone of course they paid the account its now they didn't pay what they was suppose to pay so now they want me to take a settlement offer instead of ten grand they owed me they want me to accept one thousand dollars that's all they can pay me. ARE you kidding me? Im taken them to court but the contract I signed with them states if there is any legal issue I have to file court papers in Richmond VA not Iowa where the work was done. SO now I have to fork out attorney fees plus fly or drive to Richmond VA for court.
We were contacted by one Stephen Kontra on 11/28/2016 that works with Marathon Resource Management Group, LLC located at 9671 Sliding Hill Rd Ashland Va 23005 they hired us to provide Power Washing service at
6550 W. Hillsborouh Ave, Tampa Fl 33634 at the Verizon Call Center Location
We ask for a deposit on our 10,000 service contract to start this job half down and half with in 10 days from our job being completed.
I spoke with only Stephen Kontra as this was the person that contacted me directly to hire us. I asked for only a couple of things before we started. I wanted to make sure the building which was 62000 sq ft would be close at regular business hours so we could complete this assignment in regular hours and I got not answer from him directly on the building being occupied. It wasn't until we arrived at the building to do our service and set up on the job the the building security had told me that the building was open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
We generally change 30% more on all service agreements when we have to work thruout the night to cover additional labor expenses. So with that being said his non disclosure costs us a loss of 3,000 on our original agreement.
Second issue address before we started working was the fact that they sent us a 30 page service agreement that stated they would not pay us until there client paid them. I stated at this time before we started that we would need to recover a final payment from them 10 days after the job was finished and Stephen said it wouldn't be an issue. When we regested our final payment to be paid in full Stephen Kontra danced around the issue and ask that we call Cameron in there accounts payable department. SHe was extremely rude on the phone asking if we had signed a contract which is an indication that this is a formallity of there business practice. I told stephen that I wasn't interested in talking with Cameron as she didn't have her facts straight and that he was the one that stated that getting our final payment with in 10 days after the job was finaihed and he said it would be an issue. Well now it's an issue for all of us.
Additional resources on this company can be found at:
We are planing on placing a lien on the 62000 sq ft building owned by verizon very soon as this is alot of money for us at the end of our physical year of 2016.
Please watch out for these guys at this company and don't sign any service agreement before doing work for them. All the best to everyone that takes interest in this story.
Marathon resource Management group is got to be the worst company in the United States they full everyone I saying they're going to pay you and they don't they have you do more work than what is needed and they lie right to your face and they're going to pay you and they don't these guys should be put against the wall and shot really every one of them people that work both Steve's or whatever that means where should be put against the wall and shot down like dogs like they are
Wish we would have looked at these reviews prior to engaging in work with this company. They owe us north of $16,000.00 and continuously give us the run-around. Numerous upon numerous of emails, voicemails, and phone conversations and have made no progress with MRMG. We have been told on many occasions that we would be "paid" but when we ask which invoices and how much; radio silence. After doing our research on this company it is evident they are scamming small businesses out of money which is unfortunate.
