Clearly, the manufacturer is either broke or keeps a special account so that you think that he is broke, seems like the former is more likely. At this point the best shot you may have is getting repaid in gear. You did not say why you returned the amp; I would be interested in knowing why. Perhaps the manufacturer has other gear around that you could use. Perhaps there would at least be some value in taking the amp back and reselling it. The dollar amount seems to be too small to get into expensive legal wrangleing about and the manufacturer may not be able to pay even if you have a judgement against him. Sometimes it's better to take what you can than hold out for something that's not going to happen. Just ask the folks that rode the good ship Enron.
I need help with getting monies back
I purchased an amplifier from small amplifier manuf. in Lubbuck TX back in Nov. of 2001 and returned it for a refund in about 20 days of receipt. I shipped it by FedEx 3 day air insured for $2,500, the purchase price. About 5 days later, the owner informed me that he never received the amplifier. I immediately contacted FedEx and they did show delivery confirmation, although they have a release of signature on file so they left the amplifier at door. The owner claims that no release exsists so it was my responsibility to file claim but also stated that in the event that the claim was denied he would pay.
Well, I filed a claim and it was denied in Feb. and then followed up with an appeal which was also denied based on the fact that FedEx maintains that there is a valid release of signature on file.
Two weeks ago he sent a personal check to cover the 2,500 but stated that he needed a large order to come in, in order to cover the funds. I have repeatedly called his bank and they state that there are insufficient funds. What should I do at this point??
I think I have been more than patient in this matter. It is now over 5 months since the return of the amplifier.
