My host closed her show on the 30th and I submitted it! She gave me a check for her order and the guests that she needed to collect from. Around 500. She called me this morning to see if I had deposited the check...which I have not made it to the bank yet....she says that the check will not clear....she needs to pay with her credit card:mad::mad::mad:! Now what can I do or is there anything that I can do?
 
Call HO now and explain - if it hasn't shipped yet, they may be able to help you. GL!

Great idea! Didn't even think of that!

Thanks
 
Call H.O. Ask them to do a "SWITCH PAYMENT" They will charge the customer on her card and not charge your debit card. It doesn't matter if the show has been shipped or not.
