| What floors me is their "doe-eyed" innocence that I got a returned check
| they didn't know about. Their bank sends them a notice their overdrawn,
| and what check(s) were returned for NSF. They have notice, we get
| notice. No surprises. I've waited a week to see what happens, and
| always, i must initiate the contact.One lady was my old bank teller. She
| wasn't employed (house wife after a "disability"). Her check bounced. I
| got nowhere with her,dodging our calls. I knew her Govt check came on
| the first, direct deposit (she said originally). I waited til the first,
| calling the bank til funds were available, rushed down, got a cashiers
| check on her funds and deposited it in my acct. I bet she got a
| surprise, thinking that amount was still there for use. Good.I lost out
| on a five dollars my bank charged, I didn't get my fee, but I got the
| repair amount.
| I won.
| I'm starting a rule I heard of copying their DL, invoice and check, and
| other ID.
| Now,here in Fla if you have their addy and DL#, have sent them cert.
| mail,return reciept, and no response, just take everything to the
| sherriff. they sent this other girl a notice from them saying she has X
| days to come to my shop in person with the cash for invoice, charges for
| the bad check ,pay me and get a reciept . She has to take it to the
| sherriff's office and prove it was dealth with.
| orig bill: 55.00+30.00 return-charges. She had to face me!
| Humiliation is a good lesson.
