In WYFF News 4 Investigates, we first reported on an Anderson County woman who saved up for a year to buy a vehicle from Hotshot Cycles.Patricia Scott claims the vehicle she bought didn’t work and led her to take the business to court, where she won, but she never received a refund. After growing tired of walking long distances to work and the grocery store, Scott said she took a year to raise $2,000 to get a trike from Hotshot Cycles. She said the trike stopped working in 24 hours. “It was going to be my way to work,” Scott said. Back in October, the Anderson County courts ordered the business to refund her, but as of this week, she never received the money. In our last report, WYFF 4 reached out to the business. A Mr. Abercrombie at Hot Cycles told WYFF 4’s Miya Payton he would “settle up with her” on the following day. Initially, Abercrombie said Scott could come by the business the next day. WYFF was there as Scott went by Hotshot Cycles on early Friday afternoon. Scott left the business empty-handed and was told to come back on Monday. A few hours after her visit, Abercrombie told her to come back to the shop to get the money from the mailbox. “It’s $2,080, I’m happy,” Scott said. “I’m thrilled.”Scott said she will now be saving up for another trike from a different business.
