Here's the deal: My husband and I rehabbed a house in the spring and sold it to a cop. Well, about a month ago, she called our home (which I find very invasive since we never gave her our number) and told us that we needed to repair all the plumbing since it was now shot, even though her prior inspection approved it. Now, she is a cop and said that since we didn't have permits, if we didn't pay her she would report us to the city, which would cause us to have a flag by our name for future rehabs. She also threatened a lawyer. In the end, after we considered legal, we just payed her the money only after she verbally promised that she would not call us again. Well, of course, today she called and left a message saying that she needed to talk to us. My husband and I are consulting a lawyer on Monday and not calling her back until then. Plus, I recordered her message from my machine just in case. Now, my main question, is this extortion? Any advice would be helpful.
