Sold miles seller tells me not to cash check
« on: August 07, 2013, 02:10:02 PM »
I sold a lot of miles now seller calls me asking me if i can wait a month as they don't have any money left in the bank acct, they're not doing well.

What am i supposed to do?

He says he hopes things will get back going, they've been around for over 10 years

Cash it.
Not much to loose, chances are it will go thru, he just wants money for...
If it bonces he still owes you money either way.
(But you cant blame him for fees.

I'd take back the miles and sell them to someone else.

he said he put a stop payment on them, he already used the miles, I have been selling to him before and never had an issue until now
He says he's been there before and hopes t come out of it..

Says I will get paid and that I should have faith in him...

This is the reason that you don't sell miles to random Lakewood guys

I wouldn't sell my miles to anyone because I think it is a shady business to begin with!

I think the fact that he put a stop payment on the check, says he is in more trouble than he is letting on.
If he truly believed he would be getting you the money soon, he would not stop the check.

It would be a gr8 idea to rate these guys. I had a issue with payments. It worked out at the end. I told the buyer if you have a cash flow problem say it before you buy.

If it would be me, id threaten to call the Airlines and claim fraud.
If Cash would not be in my hand within 24 hours I would follow through.

If you can try walking into the bank and cashing it, it won't hurt. I doubt he actually put stop orders on all the checks.
If it would be me, id threaten to call the Airlines and claim fraud.

Not a bad idea.

Yea but the buyer probably has emails to show that they were sold.

AA would be very happy to give you back the miles if you will sign them an affidavit with the details of the buyer. It's worth for them much more than your miles.
