[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you mind telling us the state where this occurred?  I recently had a JES rep out to my house in Maryland because I'm getting water in the basement and he didn't mention anything about recording.  His phone was sitting on the table next to his IPad while we talked but I didn't think anything of it.  Now I wonder if he was recording us.[/quote]Maryland is a two-party state for recording which means if they recorded you without your consent, or without informing you, that's illegal.[/quote]

+1  But if they ask you for permission it's fine.  I don't see the issue.  I have friends who do contracting, and they're always saying their biggest headache are clients that change their mind and don't expect to pay for it even though adjusted plans cost time and money.  if it's not well-documented, it's a he-said, she said type of thing.[/quote]

The point here is that there might be recordings floating around without the owners' consent.[/quote]
