Complaints Involved (2) - View
Claimant says:
"I reside in California but have been visiting family for a wedding and holidays in Strawberry Plains in Tennessee. On December 18th, 2016, while visiting Melanie Johnson Brown and Jason Brown, I was stepped outside on Melanie and Jason's newly bought home's back porch and slipped and fell because the scum on the back deck was dangerous. My doctor bill is now $2500.00 which includes x-rays on my hip and lower back that is herniated. I have been prescribed physical therapy in attempt to correct the hip injury sustained by the fall on their back porch with further medical treatment and possible surgery.

Included in this claim is the $160.00 owed for the shoes I bought for them (the 4 boxes were in their possession) for the wedding party. The shoes were returned without the receipt and the socks had dog feces rubbed into them (photos taken before anything was touched in the box she mailed to the groom's mother's address in Elizabethton, TN). Needless to say, I was screwed for the 4 pairs of $40.00 ($160.00) for shoes for their 3 daughters and Melanie. The store in Tangers outlet will not take them back or let me exchange them for something else without the receipt."

Additional Communication Between Claimant and Melanie Johnson-Brown Hide
  • Feb 02, 2017, Claiming party added:

  • T-Mobile cell phone records of Danielle Bondanza-Hoyt and JonnieEllen Jones will prove no threatening messages were ever sent from the claimant's nor claimant's daughter's phone. There are also other witnesses privy to the situation that occurred with melanie's claims of 'threats' adding her own phone number into her own phone under jonnie ellen jone's name and sending threatening messages that never appear on either claimant's phone nor claimant's daughter's phone and T-Mobile phone records can back this fact as can melanie johnson brown's phone carrier should these records be subpeonaed in court.

    The shoes were refused by the Tanger's Outlet's Rack Room store cashier AND manager; who said the shoes could not be taken without a receipt so the shoes were not returned and are still in our possession at a monetary loss because none of the 4 pairs fits myself nor my daughter. The shoes, socks and receipt went into the oversized bag that held 4 pairs of shoes. Melanie claims she never touched the bag yet 4 pairs in boxes dirtied and the dog feced socks in a box sent to an address. Claimant just asked when she could come pick up the shoes (which phone records will prove upon subpeona) and was told the question was threatening and melanie threatened with police (of which phone records will prove).

    Photos were taken of the dog feces smeared on the 3 pairs of new socks enclosed in the box melanie returned. There were 3 witnesses to the opening package other than the claimants or claimant's daughter and future son in law.

    In regards to the physical injury caused by a scummy and unkempt back deck; the claimant went down. The hip injury has exaccerbated an existing condition resulting in medical bills and physical pain and immobility. If such is true, the browns' need to provide the insurance information so that their insurance can take care of the medical bills incurred from an injury on their property due to their lack of negligence and impoverished state of finances; due to their recent purchase of the house visited.

    Another incident witnessed by others outside the claimant and claimant's family is melanie johnson brown's public defamation and slanderous immature antics of posting self created delusions to gain attention and sympathy from dollywood co-workers, facebook associates, friends, family and other internet social networking sites used - against claimant's daughter regarding falsified situations regarding the reasons why they were no longer part of the wedding party and other outrageous antics and behaviors by the brown family.

    The mental pain, physical pain and mental stress this family has caused is costly. The situation is NOT resolved.
