Companies owned by the one remaining director of a group that occupies an Ottawa church are being accused of taking thousands of dollars from customers and leaving them in the dark.

William Komer, head of The United People of Canada, has argued the group's eviction from St. Brigid’s church has been illegal since the notice was served on Aug. 17.

Komer, the owner and executive director of both London-based companies, did not respond to a voicemail, texts or an email of detailed questions about the customers’ allegations and whether or not they would receive refunds.Customers describe bad experiences, fight for money back When they did not hear back right away, they were not worried, given it's a busy time of year for weddings, an industry also still catching up from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shamblaw has reached out to Komer directly by email and on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to try to make contact. There's been no response from Komer. In a Sept. 4 email, Komer indicated someone "almost died and was in hospital", which had led to delays but a refund was in the works.She is still in search of a refund and plans to contest the charges with her credit card company but is losing hope she will get her money back.

MacLean said her wedding coordinator and everyone in her wedding party called numerous times and left voicemails with the company and their previous contacts, sent Instagram messages, but still, nothing.She said she still has not heard from anyone at Campus Creative. The company then bailed on the video call meeting it scheduled two days for the wedding, Steele said, a call she waited on for over an hour before she realized no one was coming.

"After the ceremony, my dad told me he would have thrown a book at the photographer if he had one, which is so unlike my father," Steele told Newstalk 580 CFRA, in a phone interview. Steele contacted one of the photographers involved who said he had between 700 and 1,000 photos but told her they had been flagged as a non-paying customer so he was not going to send them. Another person in the company told her they have 250 photos."I have no idea how many there actually are," she said and is holding on to hope they have not been deleted or lost.

An OPP spokesperson at the Oxford detachment in Tilsonburg, Ont. confirmed a complaint had been filed but could not provide any further details. One man, from the Greater Toronto Area, has a wedding booked for the end of the month with UTU and has not been able to reach the company by phone or email in weeks, including an Aug. 22 email for their meal choice.

A spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of London said they could not comment on the status of its lease or rent because it’s a private issue between themselves and its tenant. In 2017, it wanted to turn an abandoned school in London into a ‘community tech hub’ after London city council requested proposals for the site.
