DocPC Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 We send disputes CMRRR to P.O. boxes all the time to dispute. I think you have been scammed for the cash. They cannot prove that you even got it.They are messing with you big time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anti-something Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 exactly, they are still annoying me!so, do i send another demand letter stating that there was no cash in the envelope, anyone can send certified mail to a po box and now i want my money PLUS interest?also, for 'proof of payment' i mean basically they cant prove they paid it right? sure they can track the check, but you cant track cash.. and who the hell mails cash anyway? isnt there a big sign at the PO that says do NOT send cash thru the mail?

anti-something Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 s'ok, one thing they DID get right is its a cashiers check!so do i calculate the interest from the date of judgment til today on the full amount, then from today the interest on the unpaid portion?and how do you work out interest? i know its simple interest @10% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocPC Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I think you charge 10% of the balance owed, but that one I ain't sure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anti-something Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 i basically told them in the last letter that i would accept the face value of the judgment if they paid within 10 days, but if i did not get the money i would be charging interest. their 10 days was up, but the envelope has two dates on it (PO stamped date) one would put it within the 10 days, the other puts it over. which date do i go by? man, why is nothing ever simple??

anti-something Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 yes they are, and i should not have expected anything less since they threatened to sue me for enforcing the judgment. i wonder if i should go ahead with the discovery to enforce the judgment, since its not paid in full..

willingtocope Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Anti...are you sure what you're seeing on the envelope is a "post-mark" and not stamp machine postage. Otherwise, I don't see how they would have gotten it through the office PO stamp process... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anti-something Posted October 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 im not sure willing, it just looks like the normal PO stamp, but done twice. DH suggested it was returned to them then they reposted?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willingtocope Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Is there a stamp on it? Maybe they forgot that the first time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anti-something Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 theres a postage stamp (now )would the PO bother to put their stamp on the envelope if there was no postage stamp on it in the beginning?would there be anything else stamped onto the envelope by the PO to show it needed to be returned (return to sender stamp?) for no postage stamp?

willingtocope Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Well, you never know about the post office...they seldom do things the same way twice. There should be a notice stamped on the envelope that says something to the effect of "return to sender for postage", but, if the company you're playing with is a bulk mailer, and this letter was just included in a bundle, the post office would have caught it in their automatic machinery and just taken it back to the sender.If the earlier postmark is under the stamp, or off to the side and not covering the stamp at all, then I bet that's what happened. If both post marks are on top of the stamp, then the other thing that might have happened is the mail man just carried it around in his bag and delivered it with the rest of the mail.When we had our office, we used to leave outbound mail on the front desk for the mail man to pick up...he'd take them one day, put them in his bag, and return them to us the next day as though they were inbound.

anti-something Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 no, they are not bulk mailers, they are just screwing with me, but i dont know how they did it!!maybe i should just take it to the PO and ask them what it means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anti-something Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 well, im not going to be getting to the PO today, but very very interestingly, the 'debtor' just called me and left a message.saying i sent you a check, dont know if you got it, please call to confirm... now why would they be calling NOW? if they posted 14 days ago.. as opposed to 4 days ago??and i never gave them my phone number..
