ATTENTION LA PINES, BEND OREGON SNOWMOBILERS

[LadyRyder]

There might be others that are going after Mr. Clutch douche that might get a case number and NOT go into mediation.

Would you recommend to others that they use mediation or go straight into court and let the judge sort it out, or does he have the option of taking it to mediation if he so chooses?

Jeff -

As long as he responds to the Smalls Claims Served paperwork, he can choose. If you go to court, you don't get the chance to explain your story. In mediation you each get a chance to explain your case and the mediator will work through it with you. The Judge can't/won't go over it with you, the Judge will want to know if you have a contract. Most of us don't. Who gets a signed contract when they drop their sled off to get worked on at a shop you've spent thousands of dollars with in the past ten years?

In the court room someone wins and someone looses. I still know we would have been awarded at least what Gordon offered to pay us in Mediation. We still wouldn't have received the rest that we were asking for, most likely because the whole no-contract arrangement....though, we have everything in writing, still not a contract.

It really doesn't matter what you choose to do. Gordon has his attorney on speed dial, his attorney keeps him one step above the law at all times. He's been through this before. Basically what everyone (authorities) says is that it's not against the law to do bad business. He's been turned into numerous government agencies for various infractions by various people that have been taken advantage of by him. He will get his, it just won't come in the form of restitution for any of us that have had issues.

I really feel for all of you who got rooked,and just reading this thread puts a sour taste in my mouth.I don't get it.Seems like he HAD plenty of work and was getting paid quite well to do it.I have a business and my customers are king.My reputation is everything and without it in these times I couldn't feed myself...
It makes me blush to think that he wears the human form...

It's a civil suit, not small claims...pretty sure they go straight to court.

 

[turbolover]

Looks like this dirtbag is finally going to have to answer to someone that can hold his feet to the fire.

When this case goes live, can you get me a docket or case number?

How much meth is that in central Oregon these days? Anybody in the business? He obviously likes the stuff...

 

[Jeff C]

Any new cases unfolding?

 

[LadyRyder]

I heard he got arrested on Monday....been watching the inmate list, but haven't seen his name....Mom must have bailed him out.

Awwwwwww

that is terrible!

I cant imagine anything that he may have done to have this happen........

His arrest=miscarriage of justice

 

[Jeff C]

I wonder how old Gordy is doing?

 

[LadyRyder]

I wonder how old Gordy is doing?

He's been awfully quiet since his arrest. Still no word from him and no payment checks he promised the State of Oregon he would make to us. I know he's had another judgment placed against him recently, as well.

Maybe he got smart and decided to bury his head in the sand!

 

[LadyRyder]

Still no payment!

Anyone else ready for the snow?

I want to remind anyone from the Central Oregon area of what a crook GRS Snowmobile & ATV Repair (Gordon Shields, aka Clutchman on Snowest) is. He sold my sled 1/2/11 and was paid in full. We have taken him to small claims, and placed a judgment against him. Still to this day we have received NO MONEY, even though he agreed to pay in COURT. The only thing we have received are excuses he blames on his other "situations".

Chances are if you take your sled to him now for pre-season work, you won't have it back until May.

Watch your back.

 

[Jeff C]

Lady:

Question for you..........

When there is a judgement placed against someone, is there any time frame that they get to pay? or is there no language in there about a date this obligation must be paid.....??

If there is language about a date, could you "re-sue" him again because he grossly missed the date he was supposed to pay, or is it a one time thing that you can sue him?

If the answer is "no-you can't resue him", could you not contact the judge and let him know he did not uphold the order and get him to help you?

Just wondering

 

[LadyRyder]

Jeff: After 10 years the judgment expires...you can file to have it re-instated for an additional 10 years. If he ever gets a "real" job away from his business we can have his wages garnished....thinking that's our best hope.

At this point we don't expect to see a dime....just truly don't want anyone else getting taken by him. Enough is enough.

 

[volcano buster]

He must be back somewhere.

I just spent the better part of Sunday trying to get my daughters Jasmine's sled started.... I did find the problem. Gordon aka GRs Snowmobile Repair...... returned her sled to me and it wouldn't start ..... why I asked myself.. It is because Gordon sabatoged it.... What a jerk!!! To damage a little girls sled!!!!!!!!
However I did mange to find the problem, he had disconnected the spark plug wire from the coil and had the cap just barely on the plug. HUMMMMM I wonder how that happened.

After getting her sled running again, I decided to move her sled to the left side of the trailer.... low and behold what did I see?????? Or should I say what didn't I see.......My custom built gas can rack which is mounted to the rear door behind Jasmine's sled is gone!!!!!!!!

So not only has Gordon stole my sled,( as far as I am concerned, when he won't give it back) he has stolen my gas can rack, Stole my scoop shovel and the handle to the shovel that belongs on Jasmine's sled, and has damaged my trailer. I'm surprised he didn't steal my gas cans too or the heater or other items that are in the trailer.

Actually I am surprised that I did get my trailer back and My daughters sled back..... (that was before he refused to give me my sled.) I guess my sled must be special!!!! right.....

Gordon you are a dirtbag.... get it together..... man-up and take care of business....... make things right.

I want my sled back and all the other things you have taken. THEIF

Wow, this is over the top! Talk about a 5 star redneck roundup!
SO I can gather that Gordon is a crackhead liar, theif, from podunk Oregon, but what I don't get is your story. You know 3 sides to every story, mine yours and the truth?
You joined SW in 2009, but only have 11 posts and they all have to be in THIS thread! Seems more than a coincidence.
Also, you're 5'-2" tall and 60yrs old, from one of your posts, and a lady (I assume because you admitted to "dating" Gordon 8 years ago, which would have made you 52 yrs old at the time).
Now perhaps the weirdest part. You have a young daughter at age 60 (your words, "a little girls sled")? And you and your young daughter snowmobile together? No mention of your husband or the girls father, so is it Gordon's kid?
Man I haven't read such Jerry Springer drama in quite some time. Thanks for the laughs! hahaha

What you have said may well be true, but that does not change the fact that Gordon screwed all these people out of alot of money...........
