the lady you delt with was commiting a fraud by not giving you the item in question and then cahing your check when she knew it was no good.
i know in this state that if you sent payment vial mail and and didnt recieve your item of purchase it is also considered mail fraud. |
Thank you so very much for your input. Finally an insider view!!! I do have a few questions if that's ok. What is considered common procedure when a person brings a check into their store? I understand the contract part but then do they call a bank to verify the check that is brought to the store? Do people then slack off when it's a "regular" that comes in? Is it common practice to threaten with thousands of dollars? Now that they have reached her and she has promised to make payments, isn't that like admiting fault? If so then why are they still pursuing me? I'm sorry if these are inappropriate questions but I'm still in a jam.
