Homeowner reels over $19K lien Ontario Green Solutions president aims to “get half that money back” after Frances Clarke signs door-to-door contract TAMARA SHEPHARD tshephard@insidetoronto.com Frances Clarke gets upset every time she thinks about the letter from Skymark Finance Corporation to her real estate lawyer reporting its nearly $19,000 lien on her recently sold Etobicoke home. The amount of the lien is the value of the 10-year contract she signed. Skymark is the financial arm of Ontario Green Solutions (OGS), an Etobicoke-based company which leases water softeners, and sells American Standard high-efficiency furnaces and air conditioners. In November 2015, OGS’s representatives knocked on the door of her Seventeenth Street home and sold Clarke, 69, a retired widow on a fixed income, a contract to lease a water softener and carbon filter at $79.99 each per month. Clarke said the OGS salesperson told her the equipment would save her money on her monthly heating and hydro >>>ontario, page 8
