DATCP Complaint: Nick Lies to the DATCP

Governor Walker sent my letter of 9/26 on to Michelle Reinen, Director - Bureau of Consumer Protection/DATCP with his instructions to file an expedited complaint. While I won't say DATCP is a worthless use of time/energy, I would say it's close to that. DATCP has no power of enforcement. When they collect "enough" info re any particular business, landlord,...well, honestly, I don't know what they do. Send a stern "don't do that" letter, maybe. How much info is enough? How many people need to be hurt before they do whatever they do...."depends" per Ms Reinen. After Nick & Arendt sent their duplicitous responses - I received an email from DATCP confirming no enforcement; their recommendation: small claims court and "Have a nice day!"

I sent 95 pages of documentation with the formal complaint to DATCP including the dates & photos of what was done, what was not done, when, etc.

■ Complaint - 3 pages - here. Eleven (11) original emails sent to Ms Reinen (see pg 3 of complaint attached) may be available on request via Contact.

■ Nick/Five Skies sent an email (below) to DATCP with NO documentation & lie after lie after lie.
