I am interested in pursuing legal action against cc. Sign me up. I had originally purchased 10 machines back in Apr. About a week after I had sent the money I stumbled across this site and was really shook up after seeing what you guys had to say about CC. The company that had all of these accusations being directed at them were now the people who had 42,000 dollars of my money. I began contacting the FTC, and the Florida Attorny Genrals Office. I then sent CC a # of nasty emails and phone calls telling them the action that I was going to pursue ,lawyers, local and fedral authorities etc... I hadn't received any product or machines (keep in mind) They decided to renegotiate with me sending me a contract that stated I would get 10 machines and 3,600 drinks for 31,000 shipping included and they would send 5,300 on july 1st and a additional 5,300 on july 15th. It says in the contract in doing this, this would wave my abiltiy to pursue legal against them. I received the machines last week and was 42 cases short on drinks. I have sent many threating emails and have attempted to make many phone calls. If I don't see some money next week, I will be more than willing to pursue any and all types of action that will make their lives as much hell as possible.

SH Vending,
Although the case quantity shortage is not tatamount to keeping you from doing business CC still violated the contract. Make sure that you have documentation of some form stating that you were shorted the product. In the spirit of the law the contract has been broken whether it be 42 cases or if it had been all of your machines.
Good Luck

Absolutely, the product was delivered by Roadway and the driver and myself counted the cases. It was kind of funny, the shipping manifest said that their were 150 cases, but the driver and I broke open the shrink wrapped pallet and counted each case. There were only 108 cases. These guys are crooks. If they pay me my 10,600 and give me my additional cases then I am bound by the contract not pursue legal action. The clock is ticking.

The clock has stopped. I spoke with a former Employee of CC. What they did was continue to sell machines after their contract in the hopes of using the buy back program to meet the orders for new machines, they then sold the used machines as new. They were not able to keep up and closed their doors, Locked up and cleared out. They stiffed the freight company all the shipping charges. If you have not received machines or money at this time you will not be getting either. CC can not get drinks either. They will settle for pennies on the dollar in court. I have asked the Attorney Generals office to file Criminal charges for fraud as they sold me used machines as new. I never got 1800 cans and had to pay $1273.00 extra to cover their unpaid shipping bill. As I mentioned the former employee told me the doors are locked, desks gone, phones gone, office is empty. Nothing left of CC...

There are many options available to make CC sorry they were ever born, one is to not take this screwing laying down, I for one intend to contact every agency in the state of Florida that will listen to me and formally file complaints against these crooks. I suggest we all call and write, fax , email and literrally drive the state agencys crazy until they open a formal investigation, once they do, they will uncover fraud that will make them pay attention, individually we are not much of a case but collectivly I am willing to bet this is a multi million dollar fraud case !!I will post links as I find them

Isn't CC set up as a LLC?

Even if it is all that protects is the corporation, not the individuals that commited the fraud !

I'm certain that a class action lawsuit isn't far off. That is, if CC is lucky, that's all that will happen. If I'm not mistaken, accepting money from another state for goods in which no good faith attempt was made to deliver the goods or issue a refund makes this a really good candidate for a Federal Offense.

Also, scr has a point. Incorporation won't protect anyone from criminal negligence or knowingly participating in fraudulent activity. And doing so puts their personal assets at risk.

TO DATE CC HAS NOT FILED BANKRUPTCY WITH THE STATE OF FL. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON? THEY OWE ME SOME MONEY AND I WILL STOP AND NOTHING TO GET IT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I'M ANOTHER VERY ANGRY PERSON THAT LOST ALOT OF MONEY WITH CC. LAST TIME CC CONTACTED ME WAS THE FIRST OF JULY,SINCE THEN NO OTHER CONTACTS HAS BEEN MADE FROM CC TO ME. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO CONTACT THEM. THE SWITCH BOARD OPERATOR IS GONE, THE PHONE EXT OR NO LONGER WORKING. LONG STORY SHORT I THINK, NO I KNOW I HAVE BEEN SCAMED. I WILL NOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN. I'M AM ALSO INTERESTED IN FILING A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST WHOMEVER PARTIES THAT ARE INVOLVED. PLEASE CONTACT ME. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS: DWILK1199@YAHOO.COM
