Woman: Plumber put me $900 in the hole

SHELBY COUNTY, TN -

(WMC) - A Mid-South woman with disabilities says a plumber put her $900 in the hole.

Frenchie King says she has early onset arthritis, so her doctor told her to get a bathtub to soak.King says the plumber took two hours to install a tub she bought on Sunday.

King says she was charged $500 for the two-hour installation. Right after the plumber left, she turned on the nozzle and water started spewing everywhere.

She says when the contractor came back, she was at the hardware store around the corner. She says he wouldn't wait for her.

After calls back and forth, the contractor sent her text messages:

"I was going to come back out there till you called me A thief I am not a thief"

"I will get n touch with my attorney"

"Everything was fine before I left I have worked for people like u before !!"

But King says the plumber wouldn't come back to fix the job, and she had to get a new company to install the tub, which cost another $400.
