I am getting very angry

[AmberwayGSD]

Someone payed me by check.Than they stopped payment on the check.I sent them a email saying they have until today to pay me in cash.They called and said they would bring me the money yesterday.Thank they called this afternoon to say they will pay me tonight.It is now 9:20pm.On Monday I go through small claims.I have had enough.They have now caused me my puppy.I also cant pay any bills now because of this bad check that went through my account.I am so angry.Jerks.

"Caused you your puppy?" Like, you mean, they paid you for a puppy by check and the check was canceled??

 

[AmberwayGSD]

No they paid me for dogsitting but now I cant put my deposit down on my puppy I had planned on getting.So now I cant get her.Now it is getting late and I dont think they are going to pay me.I am so frusterated now.

 

[corykins22]

what do you do?

you have a dog sitting business? thats aweful that they did that to you, i would definately take them to court or something. people can be idiots!!!

 

[filarotten]

That sucks. I was hoping you could get your puppy. I know how much you wanted her.

 

[Julie]

payed you by check for what?

I thought the breeders of the GSD would accept a post dated check for your pup?

I must have missed something, sorry I haven't been on that much in the last few days. I have been getting behind. LOL

I hope the will make good on the check though.

Will you still be able to get your pup? I hope so.

Best of Luck,
Julie.

Edit: Nevermind, it takes me forever for a post, but I have since figured it out. LOL

dogsitting.They said they would take a postdated check for final payment but need a deposit.Which I now dont have since they scammed me for this check.Unless I have this money now they cant hold the pup for me so no I wont be getting her.

 

[corykins22]

oh, well that is just silly then, not fair!

It's probably too late for this, but I found out the hard way (by going through a similar bad-check-incident) to have the payment agreement for my training biz in writing. I got a friend to help me out with the legal jazz, and put the payment agreement on the same page with a liability waiver which states that the dog's health is the owner's responsiblity, not mine. That way, if and when someone doesn't want to pay, you have a record in writing with their signature. You might think about doing the same thing when you dog-sit. But, again, probably too late for that. Sorry, I sure hope it comes out okay. If you make a partial down-payment would the breeder hold on to your pup for you for a couple of weeks?

 

[bubbatd]

I'm confused !! Aren't you working for the people you're getting your pup from??

No I work for a Bichon Breeder.I am getting a GSD.

Bout the court thing, it may not be worth it (unless it's a vast sum they owe you).

Lawyer fees alone are generally higher than the sum you'd get.

From now on I am only accepting cash.The puppy is ready to go on the 18th so they want a deposit now or cant hold her sadly.They have others interested so I am out of luck.I am upset but at least I am on a waiting list for another breeder for a spring or summer puppy.This sucks though.

It would be small claims court since they now owe me $200 for my services plus $25 for my banks insufficent fund charge since they stopped the payment.No lawyers would be involved but I have been told it costs $60 to file for the small claims.

 

[GlassOnion]

Oh. I've never been to a small claims court. Figured it was the same as a regular court (not that I've been to one of those either but you never hear about small claims courts in teh newspaper or on TV or anything).

You're not watching the right shows. Haven't you ever seen "Judge Joe Brown"? He's the king of small claims.

 

[AmberwayGSD]

Ever seen judge Judy or Peoples Court That is small claims.I have never done it but a friend has and said thats what it costs in Canada.

 

[Manchesters]

If you win, you recover the court costs. But it may take months for you case to be scheduled.

I know and it sucks.I need the money back though.I just wish they would have paid me tonight like they said they would.I gotta call them in the morning.I will have a hard time being nice.I am so mad at them.
