Brendan Magee - FAILING to Complete His Contract

[Morelans]

Anyone remember reading this?

hey shawn, yes i have admittedly been avoiding talking to you....

i know this means i owe you 2,000 and i don't have it. ...... being a man of my word, it's just going to take sometime to get you repaid.

255 days~~!! How long should a man of his word be given to repay his debt??

Shawn,
I think it's pretty obvious. You will only be paid following the sound of the judges gavel. Go get what you have coming.

BRENDAN MAGEE – BAD GUY – PROFESSIONAL THIEF

I agree… I need to take Brendan to court.

I have tried keeping it between us and he let me down.

I posted here on the BOI and that didn’t seem to work either.

He threatened if I posted on the BOI he would ignore me for good – and so far he is at least keeping his word for once!

I then put the claim into collections – and Brendan ignored that as well.

I have contacted an attorney and I was told it sounds like I am dealing with someone who scams people for a living. I was told these types of people usually put all their assets in someone else’s name so the courts cannot get to them. A professional thief I believe he said.

I was told they would take the case, and it should be easy to win since I have a contract. The problem comes in when I have to pay upfront to take him to court, and if he has his assets in a different name, I would be out twice as you cannot get something from nothing. I am apparently not as educated in scamming as Brendan so I was unaware of this, and not excited about paying up front to only win the case and still not get anything for my efforts.

So – I am back to the BOI to let everyone know what is going on and what to expect if they deal with Brendan Magee.

So please.. pass it on.. tell your friends.. tell Brendan what you think.. email him.. call him.. stop him if you see him in public.. let him know what you think.

As you can see I need the help of this board to get the point across that scamming people is not acceptable and will hurt your business. I am unfortunately out of options unless I want to spend more money and Brendan has already scammed me out of enough.

Also if you are in the same situation as I am with Brendan, but have yet to go public, here is your chance to let others know he is scamming more than just me.

Too bad I cannot change the title of the thread to BRENDAN MAGEE – BAD GUY – PROFESSIONAL THIEF

Thanks
Shawn Morelan

I really think you're the one that needs to be avoided. You are truely pathetic Shawn,you have taken an unfortunate situation,and turned it into a slanderous,and vindictive tirade,which has exemplified not what a terrible person Brendan is,but what a greedy little childish person you are.you have no regard for anyone but yourself,and although I've never met you,I'll be content never to do business with you based soley on what I've watched you turn this into.you've spent more time,and energy trying to drag the entire world into your little fund raising scheme,than you would have if you'd have just shown a little testicular fortitude,and taken your ridiculous little contract to court,and I'm glad it hasn't worked for you...the fact that you can get a few people here to bolster your ego by supporting the behavior you've exhibited throughout this little pity party/character assasination campain,is much more a reflection of how badly this hobby needs a good toilet flushing,than how terribly you've been treated by someone you tried to extort so you could fund your Daytona trip,and we both know that's what really led to your decision to air this here.(I don't think Brendan was financially able to attend Daytona,nor did he come home with a bunch of new snakes afterward...but,I'll bet you did...tell me I'm wrong,so I can add liar to your repertoire.) once you post this garbage here,the damage can never be "undone" it is permanent,regardless of the final outcome,or what anyone here says to the contrary...so,you made the choice to turn this into a mutually damning scenario for both you,and Brendan...this was a failed breeding loan not a scam,or a sale gone wrong...a "breeding loan" with an animal HE SOLD YOU for crying out loud! and,I'm here to tell you,he would have made it more than worth your while,but you just HAD to start running that mouth,if I had the power to "ban" you from anything,it wouldn't be Harlequins,I could care less if you have one,or not,it would be your computer keyboard...well,when all the smoke clears,and this is all water under the bridge,what sort of compensation am I to expect from you,for dragging my name,and reputation into your little dog & pony show??? my only hope is that enough people that come here will read your rantings,and realize that it's probably in their best interests to avoid you like the plague you've worked so hard to become....this will be my first,and last post on the subject,because I think it's people like you that have turned this potentially useful resource into your own private virtual Jerry Springer Show,have fun with it,you've got "star potential" here...yours regretably,Tim...

Tim, that was a disappointing response from a supposable stand-up guy.

I really think you're the one that needs to be avoided.

Shawn is greedy? Shawn is only asking for what rightfully is his. There was an agreement here and neither your brother nor yourself with this post seem to believe that ones word is worth too much. Seven months is an extreme amount of time to wait before bringing this forth. Shawn should be applauded for trying to work this out for such long period before posting here.

so you could fund your Daytona trip,and we both know that's what really led to your decision to air this here.(I don't think Brendan was financially able to attend Daytona,nor did he come home with a bunch of new snakes afterward...but,I'll bet you did...tell me I'm wrong,so I can add liar to your repertoire.) once you post this garbage here,the damage can never be "undone" it is permanent,regardless of the final outcome,or what anyone here says to the contrary...so,you made the choice to turn this into a mutually damning scenario for both you,and Brendan...this was a failed breeding loan not a scam,or a sale gone wrong...a "breeding loan" with an animal HE SOLD YOU for crying out loud! and,I'm here to tell you,he would have made it more than worth your while,but you just HAD to start running that mouth,if I had the power to "ban" you from anything,it wouldn't be Harlequins,I could care less if you have one,or not,it would be your computer keyboard...well,when all the smoke clears,and this is all water under the bridge,what sort of compensation am I to expect from you,for dragging my name,and reputation into your little dog & pony show??? my only hope is that enough people that come here will read your rantings,and realize that it's probably in their best interests to avoid you like the plague you've worked so hard to become....this will be my first,and last post on the subject,because I think it's people like you that have turned this potentially useful resource into your own private virtual Jerry Springer Show,have fun with it,you've got "star potential" here...yours regretably,Tim...

I fail to see what Shawn spends his funds on has to do with anything here. I fail to see anything remotely having to do with anything on this topic that what Shawn buys at a show is any concern of yours.

I don't think Brendan was financially able to attend Daytona,nor did he come home with a bunch of new snakes afterward...but,I'll bet you did...tell me I'm wrong,so I can add liar to your repertoire.

Why would he have to deny or confirm what he buys from someone else? Why would it even be important?

this was a failed breeding loan not a scam,or a sale gone wrong...a "breeding loan" with an animal HE SOLD YOU for crying out loud!

Yes, it was a failed breeding loan and at the conclusion your brother replied that, Yes, he does owe Shawn 2,000 for the animal. Seems plain and simple. Why would it matter that your brother initial sold him the animal? It doesn’t. It wasn’t your his animal.

I to expect from you,for dragging my name,and reputation into your little dog & pony show??? my only hope is that enough people that come here will read your rantings,and realize that it's probably in their best interests to avoid you l

You have done far more with your post in regards to " your name" than any here.

[floridaboy85]

You've got to be kidding me,right?

Tim,Your actually trying to turn Shawn into the bad guy here and act like your brother isn't a crook? Thats is insane. I don't think that anyone in there right mind would read this thread and think for a minute that Shawn is even being unreasonable,much less the person at fault for anything. He admitted in writing that he owes Shawn money and the amount he owes. A few months ago when this first came out I knew not to do business with Brendan and knew to be carefully with Tim. Now I know I will be avoiding the both of you like the plague. I think you would have been better off with your previous stand of not getting mixed up in this. I would say you have only damaged your own reputation by your last post. Maybe its a good thing.

Shawn, you've been more patient then I could be,and more than you need to have been. I doubt you can squeeze any blood out of this turnip,but if you decide to take this to court I wish you the best of luck!

Welcome Tim! While I am glad to see you are no longer "lurking" (as you have done for the past few months) and have decided to post, I have to admit I am disappointed but not surprised in your thought process. I am sure you are well aware of the fact that there is a large school of thought that has cast serious doubt on the integrity of your Harlequin line. Heck, there have even been articles written on it. However, I am surprised that you are simply adding to those that already doubt your integrity by responding in such a manner.

It must really suck to have a brother who is such a sissy that he has to have his older brother fight his fight for him. It makes me wonder just whose fight this is? You tried to do your best to remove yourself from this debacle but yet you are the only one willing to respond. It really casts doubt on the line of thought that you and your brother are separate entities. It sounds perfectly logical, especially given your responses, that you two are one in the same when it comes to the Magee business.

How convenient of you to simply bypass all of the questions posed of your brother, and now posed to you, to try and cast dispersions upon Shawn. The ONLY thing you did was confirm in everyone's minds that you are covered in the same scum that your brother is. Do you honestly believe that anyone reading this thread is looking at Shawn with doubts? Not a chance. I guarantee you that this thread alone has cost you thousands in sales.

So Tim, why not answer the questions posed to the Magee's? Such as:

1) How long should Shawn have to wait?
2) Why do the Magee's not believe in honoring their word let alone their contracts?
3) Why were your buyers never reimbursed, despite showing you pathology reports, for the animals you sold with confirmed IBD?
4) When does a breeding loan gone bad turn into outright theft?

These are only but a few of the questions that have been asked of you and now, with the help of this board, will plague your future sales. You have done nothing to help the Magee cause and as far as many of us are concerned, your as crooked as your brother.

Griz

PS Go ahead and run Tim, it's the classic sign of a scammer who knows that he's been outed. How many times do we read the statements that "this is my first and final post?" You won't come back on here not because you feel like the BOI is a joke, rather it's because you can't substantiate your position. It's theft Tim, plain and simple.

I agree… I need to take Brendan to court.

I was told they would take the case, and it should be easy to win since I have a contract. The problem comes in when I have to pay upfront to take him to court, and if he has his assets in a different name, I would be out twice as you cannot get something from nothing. I am apparently not as educated in scamming as Brendan so I was unaware of this, and not excited about paying up front to only win the case and still not get anything for my efforts.

That is a decision that you will have to weigh for yourself, but consider this:
With your contract, it is very likely that you will win a judgement against Brendan. I'm not a lawyer - definitely check with yours, but I'm thinking that regardless of his ability (at this time) to pay, this judgement will not go away.

I believe that Brendan is a relatively young man. At some point in his life, it is likely that he will want to purchase something like a car or a boat (I believe a primary residence is exempt from a judgement), and guess what, there sits the judgement.

I doubt that once he comes to his senses, Brendan will decide that he would rather pay, then live under your finger for the rest of his life.

Just one added point to Mike's post. Quite often, people fail to take someone to court because they are believed "judgement proof" That is, you may win the judgement but they have nothing of value to attach it to. The exemption on a primary residence is correct in most states. However, the judgement will seriosly impair his ability to BUY that primary residence in the first place. Judgements are a lot like a leaky faucet....mildly annoying most of the time but, eventually they need to be taken care of.

BTW...based on both the amount in question and the existance of a clear cut contract, you always have the option of filing in Small Claims Court without the aid of an attorney and saving those considerable costs.

To Tim.... I strongly suspect that the only ones who have been added to a lot of "Do Not Buy From" lists after your idiotic post are two brothers named Magee

 

[LadyOhh]

Shawn,

Take him to small claims (which is called Magistrates Court in GA.. Interesting!)...

Here is what I found...

http://consumer.georgia.gov/00/article/0,2086,5426814_39039081_39334516,00.html

http://www.georgiacourts.org/

In Georgia, you can claim up to $15,000 in losses in Magistrate Court.

If he doesn't respond within 30 days, you get default judgement.

Try it. It might be a pain, but if you want what is yours....

 

[kmurphy]

However, the judgement will seriosly impair his ability to BUY that primary residence in the first place. Judgements are a lot like a leaky faucet....mildly annoying most of the time but, eventually they need to be taken care of.

Not to mention that they are often for double the amount of the original debt because the attorney wants their share. Also the attorney can get an attachment of wages for an unpaid judgement. That's 25% of the net of each paycheck before the money is disbursed.

 

[Morelans]

The BOI is working, I have a new avenue. I had been looking at the Small Claims Court in GA, when I should have been looking at NC. Thanks for the replies and emails pointing me in the right direction and giving your support for me to press forward.

I would also like to thank Tim for his last reply that helped make my final decision. I think it was this quote I liked best

I'll be content never to do business with you based soley on what I've watched you turn this into.you've spent more time,and energy trying to drag the entire world into your little fund raising scheme,than you would have if you'd have just shown a little testicular fortitude,and taken your ridiculous little contract to court,and I'm glad it hasn't worked for you..

CALLING ALL MAGEES!​

I don’t care which as long as you read this and tell the other. This is MY COURTESY to inform you and not mandatory before I file a claim.

Brendan – I will file in small claims court on Monday October 23, 2006 unless you make a solid effort to make a payment and submit a payment schedule for the remainder of the balance.

Please feel free to read up on the process for Middlesex NC - Nash County Magistrate aka Small Claims Court here:

http://www.aoc.state.nc.us/magistrate/small_claims.htm

Please note the following when reading:

Small Claims Court is part of the North Carolina court system where people settle disputes regarding property or money worth $5,000 or less. Every county in North Carolina has a Small Claims Court, which is sometimes called Magistrate's Court.

When I win the case, the court may add these fees to the amount that the defendant is supposed to pay you. (in regards to filing and delivery of papers and loss wages)

After "Principal Amount Owed," put the exact amount of money, which you claim the defendant owes you. If you are claiming interest on this money, put that amount on the next line. Add the two figures to get the "Total Amount Owed." (Will also include compensation for days of work missed to come to Nash County for suit)

This is the best part yet –

At the end of the trial, or up to 10 days after the trial, the magistrate will sign a written decision called a judgment. The magistrate gives this to the plaintiff, the defendant, and the clerk's office. The clerk files the judgment in the official court records, which are available to the public. These records include the losing person's name, the amount and nature of the judgment, and whether the judgment has been paid. Creditors use these records for credit checks.

The Plaintiff - Getting What is Owed You​

If you are the plaintiff and have won your case, the defendant should pay you directly. The defendant must do this within 10 days after the judgment or appeal to District Court, which is explained in the next chapter.

If the defendant has not paid or appealed in the 10-day period, you can come to the civil division of the Clerk of Superior Court's Office and have the clerk issue an order to the sheriff called an execution. This gives the sheriff the power to demand payment of your judgment from the defendant. If the defendant does not pay, the sheriff can then seize any cash, vehicles, goods or other property of the defendant, sell them, and use the money to pay the judgment. The sheriff turns over any money collected in this way to the clerk, who notes payment in the official records and gives the money to you.

Brendan this is by no means a threat. I am giving you the opportunity to make this right or force me to take you to court. You are better off making arrangements with me now because after the judgment you only have 10 days to pay in full plus all associated costs such as interest and lost wages from work to bring this to court. If you do not pay within those 10 days – the Sherriff will go after your property. As it sits you owe me $1900.00 and if paid without going to court it will not increase for interest or time off work and filing fees. Approx total I will ask for if going to court $2500.00.

I found this in 15 minutes and I am sure I can find more – Your home and land are appraised from the tax office for $97,741.00. Please notice below that it says you can protect up to $10,000 and the rest is up for the sheriff to sell off if you do not pay within 10 days of judgment. He may not start with your home but I guarantee if you offer nothing else it will end up here. I have no further sympathy.

What Property Can Be Protected:
• up to $10,000 in land, house, mobile home or other property used as a residence, or burial plots.

What Property Is Not Protected?
Exemptions don't apply to the following:
• the value of property in excess of the exemption amounts allowed.

Brendan – it is once again in your hands. You have my contact information – if I do not hear from you – you will hear from the sheriff.

[johnriz]

Shawn, you have been more than patient on this matter. It seems like you know exactly what to do next. Good luck with this matter.

 

[Suncoast Herpetological]

Shawn

With a little luck, Brendan will realize that this is a no win situation for him and contact you to avoid the alternative of a judgement and ruined credit. Sometimes common sense makes even a dishonest person do the right thing when his ethics fail him.

 

[flygirl84]

Hello My Name Is Debbie

I am Tim Magee's wife. This is the first time I have ever posted on one of these forums. But, I had to say what my husband didn't. I have been married to Tim for over 22 years. He is the best man I have ever known. Tim started the Harlequin Project, about 11 years ago, and has been dedicated to producing the best animals possible. His Love for the animals has always been more important to him, than the money he could make selling them. He has taken the long route, by not continuely inbreeding, keeping the Harlequin line Strong and Robust. He takes Great Pride in every animal he produces, and the knowledge that anyone purchasing a Harlequin is getting a good strong animal, that would be a great asset to any breeding project, they were working with. He has never once had a bad buisness deal with anyone. You won't find a single person that he has ever sold an animal to, that wasn't treated with the upmost respect, whether they were a large well known breeder, or a young new hobbyist. He strives to give the best possible customer service to anyone who purchases an animal from him, whether it is a Harlequin, or another morph he may be working with. He has always taken great care in the raising, breeding, and the packing and shipping of his animals. He makes sure to contact the person on their preferance of shipping dates, so they will be available to recieve the animal when it arrives, and then confirming the shipment with tracking numbers. Then following up with making sure the animal arrived safely, and the customer is happy with the animal. He's like a nervous father, from start to finish, of every sale he makes.I am not posting this to get involved with the buisness deal between Shawn and Brendan. That is between the two of them. I am only posting here to defend My Husband Tim, who has Absoultly nothing to do with the deal between the two of them,and never has. When Shawn first started emailing Tim about Brendan, all Tim kept saying to him was, he didn't want to be involved, that is was between Shawn and Brendan. Tim can no more control how his adult brother runs his own buisness, than you or I can control our adult brothers or sisters, in how they run their own lives. Or any other person he has ever sold a Harlequin to for that matter. Which is why Tim never posted anything here, before now. He had nothing to defend. But, everyone has their breaking point, and after reading all these posts you all have made, bringing Tim's name into it, He finally hit his breaking point, and made that post. Think about how you would feel, if for over 3 month's, your name was being dragged through the mud, because of the buisness practices of your brother or sister. I believe my husband made that post mostly out of frustation, that his name was continuely being brought into something that he never was, nor wanted to be a part of. I only hope none of you ever have to deal with people trying to destroy your buisness and reputation for something your brother or sister did in Their own buisness. I am proud of how dedicated Tim is to the Harlequin breeding project, and how hard he works to produce the best animals possible. And I am more than Proud to be Tim's Wife. Thanks For Reading, Debbie Magee

 

[Morelans]

I am not sure how to even respond. I do wonder if you really read the posts before your reply to see the transactions because Tim has replied a few times with some great words of wisdom for me as well as calling me names in the process. He did not wait and just reply once like you stated, nor is he the innocent bystander dragged into this mess.

All I can say is I should have never emailed Tim or anyone else about this and I have apologized for this already more than once. At the same time I also stated I thought this was my only avenue left before going public and I was trying to avoid that.

You can see this in the original post page 1 when I said:

So I wait again to see if Brendan can come up with something, I wait another 4 weeks which puts this entire deal at 14 weeks old. I never heard anything so I emailed a few times asking Hey.. are you still there? Hello? Will you reply please?

I still got nothing so I emailed his brother Tim and another friend of his to ask Brendan to please reply to my email so I would not be forced to post this on the BOI as I would prefer to work it out. I also told Tim how I had give Brendan the opportunity to get EVEN with a less valued animal I found for sale online. It was posted for $1100, but Brendan did not seem interested. It sounded like a better alternative than posting on the BOI I thought.

Was that the right move? Depends on who you ask I guess. Maybe I should have gone public sooner and never tried to ask Tim to help keep the process moving so we could keep this private and just between us – either way it is over now. I was only trying to get this completed behind closed doors, we were stalled and thought Tim could help. MY MISTAKE and I take responsibility for it.

You go on to say:

I only hope none of you ever have to deal with people trying to destroy your business and reputation for something your brother or sister did in Their own business.

This was never my intention –Tim’s replies PUT him in the middle when he took Brendan’s side saying I was the bad one trying to get what was owed. I can not help it those reading Tim’s reply thought that was crap and they thought I had waited long enough.

On the same note Tim has replied a few times and as you can see he has never had great things to say to me or about me. For me to apologize for my actions involving him more than once makes me feel like Tim should owe me an apology for calling me names and saying how bad of a person I am just because I was keeping to a signed contract, but that is beside the point.

SO to bring this to a close please see next post.

Thanks
Shawn Morelan

 

[Morelans]

I want to apologize to Brendan Magee for saying he is a scammer, professional thief and was stealing people’s money. He is not a bad guy, just a guy who has fallen on some hard times like we all do from time to time.

Brendan and I recently worked out a mutual agreement; he followed through and has completed his side of the deal. As far as I am concerned this issue can be put to rest.

Thanks
Shawn Morelan

What bothers me even more then the scammers and thiefs (no matter WHY they turned into this, they still are JUST THAT) are the people (that got scammed) that turn around and say, "all's well" as soon as "they" are taken care of.

It doesn't change what Brendan did and what Brendan said.

Just because he finally got scared enough (with impending court) to do something about his outstanding debth, does not change what he did and said to begin with.

If it had happend to someone else that might not have kept going at it, they probably never would have seen another dime.

So no, that issue is not put to rest imho. I will stay far away from either brothers.
Their actions (and words in Tim's case) have shown their true colors.

imho

Well said Misty and we all to often see this kind of thing happen.. If I had to guess it was part of Shawn's settlement IE he had to retract what he said or get nothing. Sad very sad. Should have done what you said you were Shawn and dragged his lame butt to court. He got out of this one so what's to stop him from doing it again? nothing is my guess.. Shawn I can't say as I blame you but I also can't say I approve of this.. Randy
