Customers said they were relieved about his arrest, but they want to know how to get their money back.
“There are really only two choices that I’m aware of,” said Better Business Bureau of Northeast Florida President Tom Stephens.
“You can put a judgment on him but if he has nothing and there’s nothing to put a lien against then you’re out the money again,” Stephens said.Father and Sons Fence Co. has a history of BBB complaints, and Northrup hasn’t resolved any of the problems.“If you signed a contract and paid him money six months ago, you did not do your homework,” he said. “Because there were reports all over from us over the last year and a half that say he’s taking money and not completing the job.
In June, the I-TEAM went searching for Northrup and started at the business address for Father and Sons Fence Co. on 103rd Street. When we got there, we found the business gone and the lot being completely cleared. Court documents show Northrup had been evicted from the property.We finally did track Northrup down and he agreed to interview with us on camera. In that June interview, admitted to the I-TEAM he had dozens of customers he had taken money from but had not finished the work.
