Angry PLEASE! Don't do business with Annamalyssa!!!

Admin feel free to move this to the vendor review section as I couldn't access it and felt a need to let other YTers know.
In early Sept I contacted YT vendor Adrianna Balderas wanting information on a Kwigy Bo carrier. I put an order for a Alex Luxe bag and sent her a personal check dated and sent around Sept 28. Having had good communication with her via YT PM, I tried contacting her twice before putting a stop payment on a check. I placed my stop payment on the Oct 7th, and I notified her that same day. My reasons for placing a stop payment was her lack of communication, my paranoia for having sent a personal check by mail, and having checked the Kwigy Bo website the bag I wanted was out of stock anyway. She contacted me on the around the 17th and asked me if I still wanted a bag and that my check was in her possession. I replied on the 17th to her personal email address again letting her know that the check was no longer good and not to cash it. She did anyway on Oct 17th. She went to a check cashing place who then gave her money in exchange for my check.
They have now sent me two letters, which I received yesterday from my dad, it was sent to his address. On the letter the check cashing place says that they are going to sue me for $1000 in punitive damages plus $170 for the amount of the check and a $25 service fee. I gave the check cash place a call after trying to communicate with Adrianna (annamalyssa) with no luck both through personal email and through a YT friend who has helped her in the past. The check cash lady told me that Adrianna use to come in everyday with money orders and checks and they were always able to cash them. Adrianna was a regular customer who often brought Gucci along. They said since Adrianna had been a regular customer for a while they just cashed her check (mine) in good faith not knowing that I had already put a stop payment on the check. Since I signed a check that made me liable for that money even though the check had not been valid for 10 days. The check cash lady said the laws protect her and her employer, an innocent third party, and there is nothing I can do but pay up. I am legally responsible for the amount I mentioned above because I wrote a check. The laws apparently don't protect me.
The check cash lady also shared how much of a hard time they have had trying to locate Adrianna. Her phone number is no longer valid, she no longer stops by everyday as she use to, and the letters that are sent are not answered or acknowledged by Adrianna. Adrianna has simply gone MIA. This last bit of information is what convinced me to start this thread.
This is not a rant, this is just the facts and after my conversation with the check cashing lady I felt it was necessary that I warn my YT family. I am not trying to tarnish her reputation, I just want her actions to speak for themselves. I would have waited but after speaking with someone that assures me that I will be held accountable for $1170, I felt the need to speak up.
PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ANNAMALYSSA!

I"m so sorry this is happening for both of your sakes. I do have one question. It sounds like you put the stop payment on your check about a week after you wrote/mailed it. Why so soon? That's the only confusing part of your story.

I am very sorry that you are going through this. Have you spoken with your bank? I can not imagine that you are not protected, somehow??? I hope you can get this straightened out. I wish you all the best.

you don't want to tarnish her reputation but you did.

thanks for the tip.

sending a person check is irresponsible, but what's done is done.
can't you sue her for not providing the carrier if she actually cashed the check?

doesn't everyone in the US sue? lol sorry bad joke.

Also, you have not yet been sued, right? Could they cancel the lawsuit if you paid the amount of the check $170 and the $25 fee? Then, you could take her to small claims court, or try to work something else out.

It's possible that something has happened to her. I"m not making excuses. I don't even know her and have never done business with her that I know of. I just sincerely hope it all works out.

I do not believe that you can be held accountable since you already had a stop pmt on the check

She ruined her own reputation by being shady.

I would talk to your bank and seek legal advice. If you put a stop on the check and you even sent her that info she had no reason to cash it. I would not pay anything yet until you get all the facts. The check cashing people might say anything to get their money. Good luck, and this is just so sad.

My parents have had a bad experience sending money by USPS, which is what I did. It has been my experience that mail through within Cali doesn't take very long. I freaked when I stopped hearing from her. She and I had communication basically everyday through PM. Plus, more and more bad threads were popping out about her. I basically freaked. I know my bad, but I felt protected by the fact that I could stop payment on a check I had written vs a money order (which are her only 2 forms of acceptable payment) which I felt once the money was out of my hand, I couldn't control it anymore. That was my reasoning.
Before I had placed my order, I read so many threads about Adrianna's good reputation, her ability to get deals and her great customer service. Once the check was out there and on it's way, I started to see more of the negative threads being written. What can I say, I'm human and I got scared and placed a stop payment. I let her know that check was no longer valid. She had that information I don't see how that now ties me in with a $1000 fine.
I honestly don't wish her any ill will. I'm sorry her vendor reputation is going down the drain. I only wish she can tie her loose ends first before she starts to re-build herself as a YT vendor, which is why I wrote this thread. I don't intend to call her names, I have no ill will towards her personally, I just don't want anyone else to be in my place.

Sweetie, Have you tallked to an attorney? The lady at the check cashing company can lie to you as well. She's trying to get the money her company is trying to collect. If I was in your shoes I would contact the bank you used to seek their assistance and/or contact an attorney. So sorry this happened to you.

I worked at a bank for 17 years, and something doesn't sound quite right here. If you placed a stop payment on the check, I don't see how you could be responsible for the money.

I could be wrong, but I think they are trying to "strong arm" you. They are responsible for cashing the check, and they need to collect from the person they gave the money to. They can try to make you pay, but are you liable? Please check this out before you give them one red cent.
