In my first month I did a catty for my friend's SIL. She collected about $300 in orders, and everyone but one person paid with a credit card. This one person I called personally, and she said she was sending me a check for her balance of $84.14.
Rookie Mistake #1: Do not submit show until you receive payment.
But I did. Supposedly the first time she mailed the check it was returned to her labelled "insufficient address." The second time, it disappeared. She called her bank, and the check hadn't been cashed, so she cancelled it. During that time, I moved. So I gave her my new address a couple weeks ago, and she was supposed to mail me a new check. Still haven't received it. So with my Fall Kick-Off invite and September Newsletter, I enclosed a copy of her receipt, and wrote that I still had not received her payment. I enclosed a SASE and told her I must receive payment by September 10th.
I did not say what I would do after that, mostly because I didn't know what I was going to do. That's a lot of money! I have contacted the host, and I know she has spoken to the customer about it, and says the customer feel really bad that I'm out the money. Bless & Release? Or pursue it?
