It has now been taken care of. PAID IN FULL. I do take full responsibility for this and I am meeting her to pay her in cash. Enough said.
[/QUOTE]
Well done. I’m very impressed.
[QUOTE=Q.E.D.]
Ease up, Sparky. She’s come back in post #169 to say she’s taking care of it, with apologies to the person she wronged. What more do you want? She can’t take back the OP; all she can do is make amends and move on. If that’s not good enough for you, then you can just take your judgmental high horse and shove it up your ass, k?
[/QUOTE]
My apologies - I did not see her response until after mine posted.
[QUOTE=wring]
good for you.

Meeting Sunday @ 4:00 our time to take care of it. The Full $220.00 I said I’d give her $230.00 for the trouble I caused but she said no just the 220. I may just give it to her anyway.

Uh, most of the civilized world only gets paid once a month.
[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah? I didn’t know that. Is the bi-weekly paycheck a mostly American custom, then?
(I learned something today!)

S’alright. We’re cool, then. 
[QUOTE=DragonAsh]
I hate it, for no other reason than it’s inefficient - it causes double the work for the payroll/accounting staff - what should be a once-a-month process has to be carried out twice.
[/QUOTE]
As one of the payroll staff, I’ll just say that we pay weekly, used to pay every two weeks but found that weekly worked better for the company.

Good for you. Frankly, this thread made me curious as you hadn’t shown up on my jerk radar before, so I looked up some of your posting history. Just about everything I read showed you to be pretty good, caring, humorous and helpful person. I think the pile-on here–though understandable given the circumstances and that you weren’t more diplomatic in your reaction to it–is out of line given the kind of person you appear to be. I hope this will all be resolved satisfactorily and with no lasting ill will on your part. I think circumstances in this case simply conspired so as to cast you in a worse light than you deserve.

Another question about the bad check writer photos-how do you get pictures of said people?

I would but I can’t find it. Plus I am paying her in cash on Sunday.

I’m especially impressed by the attitude you’ve expressed at the end of the above. That shows that not only have you rectified a wrong, taken responsibility for it (and any inconveniences along the way) and apologize. Then to realize you understand the overall bad place it put the seller in by giving some thought to a little additional money (despite her protestations too!) to cover extra hassles unseen, that is incredibly mature. Really and truly, good for you both. I’m sure everyone involved will have gained something positive from the outcome of y’all’s interaction.

Too funny!
Good for you!
(And put overdraft protection on your account - especially if you get paid once a month. You may never use it - and hopefully you won’t since you don’t want to pay interest - but one bounced check can lead to hundreds in overdraft fees. Monthly checks ARE harder).
[QUOTE=badkittypriestess]
yes
[/QUOTE]
Then you’re right- enough said.
Carry on people, nothing else to see here.
Overdraft protection is definitely a good idea. If credit is a problem however, there may be another option, depending on your bank. Some banks offer the option to tie a savings or other account to a checking account, such that if an overdraft is incurred, the extra funds are automatically withdrawn from the ancillary account. My bank charges about $5 for this (which is MUCH less than the $30 they charge for an NSF); other banks may be different. Might be worth looking into if your credit rating isn’t good enough to qualify for standard OD protection.

Whoa! The (S)Crapbooking people in your town have been remiss. How can you count yourself as a Charmingly Sentimental Woman of the New Millennium if you have not yet donned pantyhose on a Saturday to ooh and ahh while watching somebody’s cousin demonstrate how to cut a square shape out of a rectangular piece of paper?

That was great! You just described the rubber stamp party that I attended. We got yelled at for talking during the big demo of using tri-colored inkpads with our butterfly stamps. Well worth it though, I now how about $25 worth of rubber stamps in a box in my closet.
