Billy B. Stamper v. DC & Homes LLC/Martin Salazar

Let’s cut straight to the chase: a man paid for a house warranty like a responsible adult, the warranty company ghosted him when he needed it, and now he’s being sued for $2,415. Not the company. Not the shady business that took his money and vanished like a magician after a bad trick. Him. In what universe does that make sense? Welcome to Canadian County, Oklahoma, where the legal system has apparently decided that honoring contracts is optional—but making the victim pay is mandatory.

Meet Billy B. Stamper, a man whose name sounds like a cowboy who moonlights as a rodeo announcer, and who lives at 2501 S Evans Ave in El Reno. He’s not a millionaire. He’s not a lawyer. He’s just a guy who bought a house and, like any sensible homeowner, wanted to avoid getting rekt by surprise plumbing explosions or HVAC meltdowns. So he did the smart thing: he paid for a home warranty through DC & Homes LLC, a company run by one Martin Salazar, operating out of Yukon, Oklahoma. Now, home warranties aren’t magic—they’re basically insurance for your appliances and systems. You pay a monthly or annual fee, and when your water heater turns into a geyser or your AC gives up during a 100-degree July afternoon, the warranty company sends someone to fix it. It’s not glamorous, but it’s peace of mind. Or at least, that’s the idea.

Somewhere along the way, that peace of mind went up in smoke—possibly literally, given the phrasing of the filing. According to Billy’s sworn affidavit, he paid for this warranty, something went wrong with his home (we don’t know what—could’ve been the furnace, the fridge, the garage door opener for all we know), and when he went to use the warranty, DC & Homes LLC said, “LOL, not our problem.” They didn’t send a technician. They didn’t offer a refund. They didn’t even bother with the usual corporate runaround of “We regret to inform you…” Nope. Just silence. Or worse—active refusal. The filing says Billy demanded payment, which sounds odd until you realize he’s not asking for money—he’s demanding they pay for repairs as promised. But instead of honoring their contract, they told him to take a long walk off a short pier. Or maybe they just stopped answering his calls. Either way, the warranty was worthless. A $2,415 paperweight.

Now here’s where it gets wild. You’d think Billy would sue them, right? File a small claims case for breach of contract, slap them with a little courtroom drama, maybe get his money back plus court costs. That’s what any normal person would do. But no. In a twist that defies logic and possibly the laws of physics, Billy is the defendant. Wait—no, hold on. Actually, Billy is the plaintiff. Wait, what? Let’s read this again.

Oh. Oh no.

Billy filed an affidavit claiming that DC & Homes LLC owes him $2,415 because they failed to honor the warranty. But—this is critical—he’s not suing them. He’s not asking for damages. He’s not seeking compensation. He’s… declaring that they owe him money? And then… that’s it? The document reads like a complaint, but it’s structured like a debt collection affidavit. It’s as if Billy went to the courthouse and said, “Your Honor, I would like to officially put on record that this company stiffed me,” and the clerk handed him a form usually used to collect unpaid loans.

This isn’t a lawsuit in the traditional sense. It’s more like a public shaming with legal paperwork. Billy isn’t asking for punitive damages. He’s not demanding a jury trial. There’s no mention of emotional distress, no claim for attorney fees, no request for the court to force the company to start honoring warranties across the state. He just wants the court to acknowledge that DC & Homes LLC owes him $2,415 and won’t pay up. And if they don’t show up to court on February 9, 2026—yes, that’s over a year from the filing date, because apparently Canadian County runs on small-town time—the court will issue a default judgment against them. Translation: Billy wins by forfeit, like a game of legal tennis where the other side didn’t show up.

Now, is $2,415 a lot of money? In the grand scheme of home repairs, not really. A single HVAC replacement can cost triple that. A plumber spending two hours unclogging a main line might hit that number. But $2,415 is plenty for a middle-class homeowner to notice—especially when it’s money they already paid for a service they never received. It’s not just the cost. It’s the principle. It’s the fact that Billy did everything right: he paid his bill, he followed the process, he waited for the help he was promised. And when the company failed him, he didn’t scream at a customer service rep or throw a tantrum on social media. He went to the courthouse and filled out a sworn affidavit. That’s not petty. That’s civic duty with a side of vengeance.

What’s the most absurd part of this? Is it that a home warranty company took money and then refused to perform? Hardly. That’s Tuesday in the world of home services. Is it that Billy is using a debt collection form to sue for breach of contract? Sure, that’s legally quirky, but hey—whatever works. No, the real absurdity is the timeline. The filing is dated January 2, 2026. The hearing is set for February 9, 2026. That’s over a year after the alleged failure. Did Billy wait 12 months to file? Did the court backlog stretch a simple claim into next year? Or is this some kind of long-game strategy where he’s letting the statute of limitations bake like a casserole? We may never know. But it does suggest that in Canadian County, justice is not only blind—it’s also running on dial-up.

And let’s talk about DC & Homes LLC and Martin Salazar. Who are these people? A quick search reveals… not much. No website. No BBB profile. No Yelp reviews screaming “SCAM!”—but also none saying “Great service!” It’s the silence of the void. Which, in the home warranty business, is never a good sign. These are the kinds of companies that pop up after a storm, hand out flyers at Walmarts, and vanish when the first claim comes in. And if they don’t show up to court? Well, then Billy gets a judgment, but collecting on it might be another story. Can he seize assets? Put a lien on property? Only if they have assets to seize. Otherwise, he’s got a piece of paper that says “You were right, Billy,” which is nice, but doesn’t fix a broken water heater.

So where do we stand? A man paid for protection. He got nothing. He’s not asking for revenge. He’s not demanding the company be shut down. He just wants his money back. And he’s willing to sit in a courtroom in February 2026—over a year after this started—to look a judge in the eye and say, “I kept my word. They didn’t.”

We’re rooting for Billy. Not because he’s flawless, not because he filed the most airtight legal document in history, but because he’s the only one treating this like it matters. In a world where corporations ghost customers daily, where terms of service are written in invisible ink, where “warranty” often means “good luck,” someone has to draw the line. Even if that line is in small claims court, over $2,415, and scheduled for a date that feels like the distant future.

Because if no one holds these companies accountable, then the warranty isn’t just broken. The whole system is.
