Advice needed please

[yougetthesmiles]

can you apply for a new credit card and use it to pay off Maddie. I know it wont clear everything up, but at least you will be able to keep her. So sorry you have to go through this.

Ok i would meet the sheriff in person at the office and ask for ID Could be someone claiming to be a sheriff. Also before you do anything you need to make sure they cannot put the transaction through after you pay it again. This does not sound right at all. Why would they wait 2 months to start complaining about this? I would not only keep your account frozen but have your cc co change your acct # . I personally think this is what's going on.... I think they didn't run the cc transaction through yet and are making a big fuss so you will find another way to pay for Maddie and then after you pay again they will send the first transaction through so they will be paid twice this is the only thing i can think of. Please be careful. You do owe them the money for her but i can't understand how they ran your check but there is no record of it with your cc co.

If she has been calling me for a month, why would I be ignoring her messages? Simple, she hasn't left any. We have had someone calling and then hanging up when we answer tho.

Alycia-
I remember when you were going to pick her up and the breeder was MIA and not returning phone calls at all - until you showed up. Hang-ups when you answer really don't count since you don't know this is her. It could be her calling and hanging up so she can show phone records of attempted calls. The records would also show the duration of the call, however.

Are you positive that nothing has been charged to your credit card account from the original check? I'm still wracking my brain trying to figure something out for you.......

Amber, I understand what you are saying but since the account is now frozen and the cc company has flagged the check, they can't run it now. So I have to take them the money. The cc company already mentioned changing our acct # because they said because of the way she ran the check the acct # is now out there in cyberspace?? I don't understand that one either, but basically the lady just made it easier for someone to put charges on the card.
So now I gotta go thru the cc statement and make sure every transaction is on there is ours.

We called the credit card company and they took down the check number and searched all the records and it is no where on the account.

And thanks to a very special person, I can go pay for Maddie. But we are going over there with the sheriff and I am getting copies of EVERYTHING and making copies to send to the cc company.

The sheriff said if I didn't make a decision to either pay or return the dog by Wednesday then they would be issuing criminal charges against me. ME because I am the one who signed the cc receipt that printed off the register and I am the one who took the check over. Yes, my husbands' signature is on the check.

I am still having this investigated. I don't understand why the transaction was on Nov 19 and it wasn't until Dec 21 before it was NSF? The CC company said it should have been done in 5-7 days from the date of the transaction.

Another thing, when they process a check like that and it goes thru with receipt and everything, they have the money right away, its processed like a debit card.
Unless, the clerk made a mistake and it got deducted from someone elses account, they noticed it did a charge back and voila two months later they want their money.
Something stinks.
