| wow, this was a subject with opinions.
| lol
| i thank you all, so much for responding.
| it was a stop payment check.
| i had already cashed and my bank charged me back pluss the fee.
|
| A few of my thoughts follow!
| this man is a professional, and i wont be able to bluff him, I
| am sure he has done this many times before. he knows his
| rights better than my lawyer.
| I have pity on in-sufficient funds checks, and seldom go after
| them.
| you cant get blood from a turnip.
| and I am usually an easy going man, but this guys attitude
| was more than i could take.
| basically telling me, i cant do anything about it.
| the police wont touch it, they figure it is a business expense.
| another time small claims was a laugh, i won, he didnt even
| appear, but i still have to collect the money anyway on my own.
| collection agency was worthless before, they only sent a
| request letter to him, and then told me they couldnt help me.
| and i understand the, not worth the frustration thing.
| and my conscious is very clear, the set works and he wont let
| me even see its problem, if any, to repair it.
| he knows he screwed me and i guess i may just have to except it.
| demanding cash would loose other good customers, and induce
| fear of my shop to honest, would be customers.
| But thank you all, for helping me think this through.
| Larry

|
|
| and hoping his conscious bothers him , is a laugh.
