Non-Payment: What to Do When a Cheffer Refuses to Answer?

[Kelley Sells]

Gillian - I personally have to testify that part is true of many non-profits. My hubby is a missionary at a Christian camp and if you write a check and it is received on the 16th of the month they will record it immediately that day, send a donation receipt out but not deposit it until the 1st of the month. Also, when I write them a check to pay my cell phone bill or if I do activities with the kids there and pay, my checks often take 3-4 weeks to clear...pain balancing my checkbook but they only do deposits 1 or 2 times a month.

Yes but this whole "my packages got stolen" and the check micr of a date of 1/30/2007 that date was BEFORE this all happened not AFTER....so that means that check was maybe donated in DECEMBER...LOL...that is even MORE HOLES.....

I hang onto checks too for a while, but it is all small things that are starting to add up to something bigger, know what I mean??

I understand the other questions. ...just wanted to point that out so people don't question the poor non-profits out there who do this...

 

[nikkijo]

Hmmm....maybe these are starter checks? those don't have your name printed on them. BUT I think that if Darby had really written the check she would not have stated that the scanner didn't get the top of the check and that is why their is no number. I know that I would have gone and checked the check before I posted that excuse.

Plus even if these are starter checks that still does not explain how it was cashed on 1/30/7 when none of this happened until 2/8/7.

 

[pamperedlinda]

If the front of this check is the "actual check" that was deposited then the MICR encoding should also have the check amount on the very far right bottom as 13500 - that's how the bank computers know how much to deposit to the shelter and how much to debit to the writer's account. The bottom line should read:

Routing Number Account Number Check Number Check Amount

 

[PamperedChefDebi]

Nor would the check number she said it had make sense as starter checks usually start with 100 or something.

Oh, I hope people know who to question, and it isn't the non-profit sector! (I've spent years working with non-profits and can say with a clear heart that I don't know what this country would do without them!)

I am glad we have a resident bank expert here Linda!!

 

[britishchef]

Thanks CA Mom.

 

[pamperedlinda]

Hmmm, and since my name also starts with a "D" I can't see anyway to decipher that first letter in the signature as a "D."

Well, I'll give her that one. Alot of people use a nick name or go by their middle name.....except in legal documents. Plus even when some people have the best handwriting....you cannot possibly read their signature. This one doesn't bother me near as much as the other stuff.

 

[Kelley Sells]

Guys....listenThat check she showed was cashed in JANUARY....the incident happened in FEBRUARY....so did she KNOW this was gonna happen prior....she is scamming with this check copy.....AND as someone pointed out, if they HELD the check for a month then the donation was made in DECEMBER.....

I apologize, I am just really getting frustrated here.....99% of everyone on here are GOOD GOOD people, then there is the 1% that don't care, scam, and then sit there watching as they said they where logging off....

Okay, Darby, what is your consultant number?

Just noticed it since the idea of her having two identities on the board came up.

starter checks don't usually have a design on them.

 

[cooking.with.ann]

Ok, I'm not taking ANY sides, not wanting to be involved in this, but like many, have been reading...

Please advise Darby to take down the picture of that check now that people have seen it. I personally think there are too many lurkers that can get too much personal information (bank routing numbers, etc.) off the information she posted. I think we should give her that courtesy at least...

JMHO...

I actually agree it that it should be taken down, because I'm afraid that the account actually belongs to an innocent third party....

I would never question/blame the non-profits!! I am just trying to confirm what Darby was saying her bank rep said that it was cashed on the 2-29.

I have to say thank you all for your support. This was something I have held in since I first called Donika. I tried giving Darby an out. THREE TIMES. There is no way Pampered Chef would treat us this way. They know we are their bread and butter. If you call HO treat them like you want to be treated and call back if you aren't teated well.

There is absolutely no plausible facts in this. Call them Monday. Kill them w/ kindness because they will be answering a 1,000 Darby calls, and thank them for being understanding, but you just had to know. But...thanks to Darby we all know anyway.

Be on the look out for copycats and people with more than one screen name until CS fixes enrollment. This is a great website! Use it make friends. I know I have made several today that I completely trust! Just don't do things you normally would question. It is easy to get the mob mentality. I've done it! Just call PC everytime you have an issue. Help each other out because that is what friends do. Even though Darby alluded that she was going to check on me...Fine. If you have friends on any other forums alert them to scams like this.

Supporting me is the best birthday gift I received all day! Okay, the clothes and the one bite of cake between typing were pretty awesome, too! My poor family!

I will check back after I shower and go out to Dinner.

 

[britishchef]

Elaine it is your birthday too? Happy Birthday! Mine's officially over here in the UK but it's still going strong in the States.

 

[Kelley Sells]

Yes.....

Linda, BINGO on that one....thank you for noticing all this, by the way, has anyone told you you look like Tory Spelling? She was my fave on 90210....


Oh, Happy Birthday Amber.....

 

[PamperedChefDebi]

Elaine, it's your birthday too? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 

[nikkijo]

starter checks don't usually have a design on them.

the ones I got from my bank had a sample of different designs each check had a different one...don't remember if they had a check number on them or not.

 

[pamperedlinda]

What is her other identity?


I'm curoius!



It couldn't possibly be that ebay person from last year? Now I'm probably stiring something up! shame shame shame on me

 

[cooking.with.ann]

What is her other identity?I'm curoius!

I must admit, so am I!Ann
consultant #473550

 

[nikkijo]

Happy Birthday Elaine and Amber!

 

[dianevill]

Oh my gosh we have a celeb on board!!! You do kind of look like her!!

Oh, Happy Birthday Amber.....

I have so got to get a new picture! You are about the 6th person to say that. I absolutely do not look like her. She is probably about a foot taller than me and I probably weigh about twice as much as she does! But thanks for the compliment.

 

[CAmomCookin4U]

Elaine, it's your birthday too? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday Elaine. Is it still your b-day are we CA 9 hours apart? I love
K-Town. i used to live just a bit from there a little town called Weitersweiler (in between Sembach and Worms)

 

[Kelley Sells]

Happy Birthday ElaineAnd I apologize if I'm showing a "mob mentality" I'm trying not to, but I'm just really upset by this person. This is a GREAT website for PC Consultants, it is helpful and fun and alot of support that we don't get from any where else in our PC lives....because we all understand each other.....And for some of you to be taken advantage of by the "sob story" is just really disheartening....

And I haven't done this many posts EVER.....but I'm mad as hell.....and I think that by posting that Check, that just made me even MORE mad....and your right, it probably IS someone elses account and should be taken down now that Elaine has the copy of it......

And Linda, yeah, the EBAY thing? LOL....ANOTHER THREAD.....

So please know that my "tone of voice" on here is NOT to any of you but just my anger of SOMEONE taking advantage of some of YOU.....
