Claimant says:
"I spoke with Mitch Burgin of Burgin Lawn Service about cutting weeds on a small portion of a vacant lot. I had someone else ready to do the same work for $50. Mr. Burgin called when he arrived at the site to ask if I wanted additional work done. I was not home. He called back two more times. Then he said he hoped I wanted the additional work done on a voicemail message. When I got the message I called to say tat the additional work was not something I wanted. Three weeks later I got a bill for $628.63. I explained I would pay what I authorized, the first item on the bill for $75 an another $75 in the interest of compromise.

This is no different than if I took a car in for an oil change for $30 and returned and got a bill for $628 for repair to a minor dent, which I had had for some time, and could drive without, and saw no reason to fix because the car was only worth $600. The public should be protected from unscrupulous predatory actions such as Mr. Burgin says are a regular part of his work."
