A Plus Signings/Advantage America Title update on check
Thank you all for your replies.
I tried several times to get the situation taken care of. I was told repeatedly that a new certified check was sent via FedEx on Tuesday. NOT! I did go to her bank and was told that there was not sufficient funds. I was also told that I could not use the check again--it was already presented twice and marked not to try again. The account number is punched at the bottom on the check so it is impossible to try again.
Unfortunately, I did have to turn it into the Better Business Bureau. I will see if they can help. I really enjoyed working with A Plus/Advantage, they are very nice to work with, but what good does it do if you don't get paid??
I also talked to the District Attorney's office in Madison, but they said it would have to be taken care of through the police department. They, in turn said they can't do anything because the total amount is less than $2500 so I would have to file a civil suit. They also told me I would have to file through my local police dept. instead because the check was sent to my address. I will have to do it locally.
This has happened to at least two other notaries that I know of (only for less money). Hopefully, I will get the check in the morning so this can all be avoided.
