My husband and I had a horrible experience with Clayton Homes. Those people are far from true to their word. We have had constant issues and problems since day 1. It’s been 8 years if we could do it all over again we would have definitely stayed away from Clayton Homes

I bought from Clayton homes and had a amazing experience.

FYI many years ago I bought a brand new Oakwood Home. Had a lot of issues during the warranty period. I had to file a complaint with the State of Texas to get them to fix the issues. During my conversation with the State Inspector he told me it wasn't just my home or its brand. The short version is they are all cheap built piles of crap and they get away with it because the mobile home industry has a very powerful lobbying machine in most of the state capitols. They have special laws and regulations written by those lobbies and passed by state officials who are more or less bribed by that lobby. These things are built to appeal to the most vulnerable and least educated homebuyers ....and disguised as "affordable houseing" I'll never buy another one of any brand after my discussion with that inspector...what I researched and learned on my own and my 18 years of ownership. People would be better off in the long run living in an apartment or their parents basement until they can save enough $$$ to buy a real home. Those things are basically oversize RVs not built to be lived in for over a decade. Cheaply built peices of Bull manure.

so accurate and well put! being a retired contractor, i too am going through hell. these companies AND "Setting Contractors" *may* sign off with a little reimbursement only to have you swear in a notarized letter that you will not reveal anything on social media. it is the "Whole Industry"! think about it, those who buy this type of structure are less than knowledgeable about new houses and are vulnerable "Prey". if only someone would write a book on "How To Buy A Modular Home". The Do's & Don'ts". my sympathies to all the upcoming "Suckers" who WILL fall prey.

At the very beginning when you find out it was the wrong home at it wasn't resolved then. Attorney Attorney Attorney. That's the only language that will get it resolved. Never go along with anything that wasn't what you were initially told from the beginning. Meaning giving you the wrong home. Never do any of the work yourself because they're not doing it. Attorney Attorney Attorney!!!!!!

Go to the Bank and tell them you are not going to pay for it! It's not what you ordered!!

Shameful. 😮

So true..

Over 20 yrs ago I purchased a supposedly "best" mobile home, a Fleetwood. It's worse than a piece of garbage. Nothing is square and everything is cheaply made. At the time with my job I could not afford a real home and interest rates were high so I had to live somewhere. Now it's still "home" and it's paid for and I am retired so I can leisurely watch everything deteriorate. The only good thing is back then they were a lot less expensive than now.

And the insurance Clayton signs owners up for goes up every year,ours is almost $ 800.00 a year not worth the paper it's wrote on.

My mom who is disabled and elderly went through the exact same thing with no plumbing for 2 bathrooms There should be lawsuits to file against against them These people are taking advantage of people who worked all their lives and are now disabled and elderly I think people my mom included should start filing taking advantage of their age!!!!!

you should invite the salesman over a few times to see what your house is like

Misconception is you need money to hire an Attorney. They are Attorneys that will take your case that are Pro Bono. Meaning they will take your case for free and get paid once the case is done. This situation that Joe is in they would love to take on a Corporation like Clayton Homes. It's not too late Joe. Get an Pro Bono Attorney and get this situation resolved and get paid for the horrible mistreatment you have encountered. Get paid Joe!!!

I know someone who got ripped off by clanton homes. In 2007 he was 18 years old he and his girlfriend wanted to put a mobile home on the property that his grandfather gave him. He got took financially by clayton homes. He lost the land his grandfather gave him. He got the wool pulled over his eyes . They took advantage of him because he was young

I just went to look at a 2024 Clayton Home already on the land last weekend in Florida. I live in an apartment right now and looking to get out of this horrible rental trap. The sales person said that if I wanted to break my lease to purchase the home that they would pay my Early Terminate Fee. I said no, I have just started looking and I'm not ready to buy the first home I look at. I get anothr email today and the sales person says he talked to his boss and his Boss wanted my Landlords information so he could make her an offer to break my lease! The apartment I live in the manager will not let anyone break the lease, you can break it but they hold you to the full term of the lease if I move out, that is in my lease agreement. Again, I told him no I cannot put myself in that kind of position. After seeing these videos and other videos, I will definately not be purchasing a manufactured home!! Thank you for this very informative video!

That's ridiculous!

Thia poor man this is just wrong on so many levels. I hope he can sue the shit out of them. Shame on Clayton

YOU CAN'T Blame it all on Clayton. YOU ACCEPTED DELIVERY of the Wrong house! But I agree, Clayton is not a good builder of houses my brother had one! I wouldn't recommend them.

I would love to be interviewed and videoed. I have a very interesting story that I think the world would be shocked at. I've been scammed by multiple people and I inform both the f. BI the news media and my local law. Enforcement, and all they do is laugh. They think it's funny

Hi Amanda, sorry to hear about your scam experience. If you'd like to publicly tell your story, kindly submit it here and we might send you an interview invitation: www.pissedconsumer.com/post-complaint.html?interview=1

I bought one. I lived in hell water comes in both doors ends leak insulation wetboth ends gotmold blocks wrong please don,t buy

First mistake is buying a crappy mobile home. They're built by unskilled people off the street. No journeyman plumbers or electricians. Cheapest materials possible. Second class housing and absolute tinder boxes if there's a fire. I used to work in the industry and I will tell you that I would live on the street before I'd ever live in a mobile home.

Thank you for sharing your perspective on mobile homes. It's important to consider all aspects before making a housing decision.

I was going to buy a Clayton home for -$140,000. ... But after watching this very sad and very informative post, I've decided to forget about anything "Manufactured " from anybody, anywhere. We live in the internet video age... Companies can't just screw people over and get by with it like the days of yesteryear. The fact that I am writing the this commentary in and of itself proves that people ARE doing their research before buying. Before the age of KZread and its comment section, such guidance would have been next to impossible to find... NOT ANYMORE ! ! !

Never Clayton.
