They's people are miss leading, lie and say what they think you want to hear based on what you are looking for. They also charge a third more than the part is really priced. You can not file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, for they are not listed. In all sense of the word, This is a scam.

Loss:
$11

Preferred solution: Just what I was told they could deliver, and that's the 2010 Mustang for my son's can with the milage of 70,000 to 80,000 miles on it.

User's recommendation: Do not use this company, should you use them ask where the part is coming from and contact them yourself.

I recieved my junk swim spa from james cox. 1st it would not heat so he said they set some up for 110 & mine was 220 even though he sold me a 220 breaker on deliver. He sent me specs via email to change the settings on electric board. I did that & the shell cracked 2 days after i filled it & right after fixing the heater setting. I cointacted him right after & he said they would replace the swim spa. I kept contacting him & then he blamed the Golden spas & said Josh would be buulding replacement spa! I then contacted Mike DeWine ( attorney general) they said they could not help me. I turned him & Gilden Spas into BBB & also put a complaint into Consumer Complaint Agency. Nothing was ever done & spa has a 20 year warrranty. I have been grinding & patching with fiberglass & resin every year since I purchased it in 2011. Go do a background check on James Cox & u will see all of his alises & al his web sites plus his all marriages but i only seen one divorce. I hope he gets every bit of Karma hre deserves. I had bought for my grandmother to be able to get therapy after stroke & also for therapy for me since i have had 2 back serguries & was trying to keep from my neck suergury but had to have my neck surgery after all the stress & trying to patch this piece of ***!! Paid for spa $13,500 just for spa not counting the crane to set it, had to cover my wood with rubber roofing because i could not close room in because he saud they would replace, all the fiberglass, resin, wheels for grinder, oh yea & the heating element was the wrong size also! He even met my grams the day on delivery that was bedfast who passed away 10 months later after spa cracked & never got to use the spa. I dont know how you ( James Cox ) can even look in the mirror or sleep at night!!

JAMES COX FROM JC DISTRIBUTORS LLC, SWIMFIT SWIM SPAS HAS STOLEN $9,808.50 FROM ME WITH NO RESOLUTION TO REFUND MY MONEY.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I MADE AN INITIAL DEPOSIT OF $1,000.00 TO JC DISTRIBUTORS LLC BY THE END OF OCTOBER 2012 FOR A SWIM FIT 15 DEEP WATER RJ SWIM SPA WITH THE INTENT TO HOLD THE PRICE UNTIL I WAS READY FOR THE FULL PROJECT IN 2014. IN JULY OF 2014 I HAD CONTACTED JAMES COX OF JC DISTRIBUTORS LLC TO LET HIM KNOW I WAS READY TO PROCEED WITH THE ORDER AND DELIVERY OF THE SWIM SPA. JAMES COX HAD INITIALLY TOLD ME THE SPA WOULD BE DELIVERED BY OCTOBER OF 2014 AND HAD ASKED THAT I OVERNIGHT THE REST OF THE 50% DOWN PAYMENT OF $8,808.50 FOR A TOTAL OF $9,808.50. JAMES COX HAD TOLD ME HE NEEDED THE MONEY OVERNIGHTED TO MEET AN ORDER DEADLINE. I DID OVERNIGHT A GUARANTEED CASHIERS CHECK TO HIM FOR $8,808.50. WITHIN WEEKS JAMES COX CONTACTED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE MOLD FOR THE PARTICULAR SPA I HAD ORDERED WAS BROKE. HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO REPAIR THE MOLD AND STILL DELIVER THE SPA BY OCTOBER OF 2014. SOON AFTER THAT JAMES COX TOLD ME THE MOLD WAS UNREPAIRABLE AND NEEDED TO BE TOTALLY REBUILT. JAMES COX SAID HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SPRING OF 2015. ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 JAMES COX SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH ME THAT STATED IF THE SPA WAS NOT DELIVERED BY MEMORIAL DAY 2015, 5/25/2015, THAT HE WOULD PROVIDE A FULL REFUND OF $9,808.50 BY JUNE 5, 2015. I CONTINUED TO SAY IN CONTACT WITH JAMES COX TO TRY TO ASSURE THAT I WAS REALLY GOING TO GET A SWIM SPA. JAMES COX HAD SEVERAL EXCUSES ALONG THE WAY IN REGARDS TO THE PROGRESSION OF THE SWIM SPA MOLD. AN EMPLOYEE HAD BROKEN A LEG, HIS WIFE WAS PREGNANT AND DUE THE END OF MAY AND HAVING A DIFFICULT PREGNANCY AND THEN FINALLY HIS OWN DEVASTATING ILLNESS OF DIAGNOSED CANCER. ON MAY 14, 2015 I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM JAMES COX THAT HE WAS SELLING HIS BUSINESS AND HE WOULD DO THE BEST HE COULD DO TO PAY ME BACK WHEN HE CAN. JAMES COX WAS NOT ILL, NOR DID HE HAVE ANY OF HIS CLAIMED ISSUES WHEN HE ACCEPTED AND INSISTED THAT I OVERNIGHT A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO HIM IN JULY 2014. IF JAMES COX HAD ANY INTENTION OF DELIVERING THE SWIM SPA TO ME BY THE MAY 25, 2015 DATE THEN THE SWIM SPA WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FULL PRODUCTION BEFORE JAMES’S ILLNESS AND OTHER MISFORTUNES. I WOULD HAVE GLADLY WORKED WITH JAMES COX FOR A RESOLUTION BUT HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO DEAL WITH ME. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT JAMES COX EVER HAD ANY INTENTION OF DELIVERING ME A SWIM SPA. JAMES COX LIED TO ME FROM THE BEGINNING AND CONTINUED LYING TO ME TO THE END. HE HAS STOLEN $9,808.50 FROM ME AND I KNOW BELIEVE THAT THE ACT OF THIEVERY WAS INTENTIONAL. THE FACT IS THAT JAMES COX SIGNED A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT WITH ME TO REFUND THE FULL AMOUNT OF $9,808.50 BY JUNE 5, 2015. HE IS NOW IN BREACH OF CONTRACT WITH ME. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT JAMES AT HIS LISTED PHONE NUMBER 888-721-****, BUT NO ONE ANSWERS AND THE MESSAGE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. JAMES COX IS AVOIDING ME AND THE LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT THAT HE SIGNED. I EXPECT A FULL REFUND IN A TIMELY MANNER AS WE HAD AGREED. JAMES HAS BEEN TO MY HOUSE AND KNOWS THAT WE ARE NOT WEALTHY PEOPLE. WE HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR THIS VENTURE FOR OVER 5 YEARS. THIS LOSS IS DEVASTATING TO US AND WILL TAKE ANOTHER 5 YEARS TO RECOVER. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THE LEGAL SYSTEM WILL ALLOW JAMES COX TO STEAL THESE LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FROM PEOPLE WITH NO RECOURSE.

Explain what a rip off artist he was. If contact them they will e-mail you his filling papers.

If possible send a copy of your contract with him.

She already replied back that she can't do anything, other than mediate the chapter 7 filing. They have no assets to attach.

Guest

James is my ex-husband and he never paid me my alimony, he owes me over 65K and has only paid me $2500 of it.. I have been trying to collect for over 6 yrs.

Before we were married he spent time in prison, for embezzlement. He owned a carpet repair business and when the 1994 Northridge earthquake happened he took advantage of people then as well, including an Los Angeles County Sheriff. He claimed he had cancer before our divorce which was final in April 2010.

I am embarrassed that I stayed married to him for 10 yrs, he seemed like a changed man, he was forthcoming about his prison time, before we were married, but I guess his old ways have come back around. He now lives in Oregon with his wife and children.

Guest

I heard that JC used your money to pay for his trip to Hawaii. Nice guy!!

Guest

Can we all get together and sue him through the Federal Trade Commission? Please contact me.

My name is Bonnie and my number is 580-512-****. He stole almost $10,000.00 from me.

Something has to be done about this. We have all been victims.

It would be really helpful if you could just post the information that you have. I am currently pursuing some legal remedies against James Cox as well and any information about his activities will be very useful.

I also just received notification that he and his spouse have filed for bankruptcy. Really the only information I could provide to you is his current legal address.

I am uncomfortable posting that on this site. However, search just James Cox on this site and find the post "Swim Spas 4 Fitness - LOOKING FOR JAMES COX" and that will give you any information I have.

Unfortunately the Bankruptcy court has notified me that there are no assets to disperse to the close to 50 creditors he and his spouse owe money to and the law is protecting him. My husband and I have given up and decided to move on.
