Business ProfileforCharacters for Hire, LLC

I was hired to work on a second project as a Decorator for a Halloween installation. I already had reservations due to the payment issues I experienced with the first project, including a bounced check caused by various technical difficultiesa recurring issue noted in several online reviews. Despite my concerns, I began the new project in good faith, trusting that they would send a contract, which they eventually didover a week after I had already started working.During that first week, I collaborated with their on-site supervisor from the previous project to rapidly design the installation, as the client was frustrated with CFI's repeated delays. This frustration was evident when I spoke with the client to discuss the projects design specifics. Once I completed all the necessary preparations, the only remaining step was for them to order the decorations and for me to travel on-site to finish the work. However, ***** abruptly canceled the project and refused to compensate me for the entire week of preparation.When I contacted their project coordinator, ******, she informed me that it was company policy not to pay for canceled projects, and their poorly written contract allegedly supported this. ***** avoided all contact for an entire month, ignoring calls, emails, and messages left with his two secretaries, citing that they were too busy with other Halloween projectsironically, even though this was a Halloween project.
