I really feel for you Roo. If you need another shooter positioned on the grassy knoll, I'm your man.
I realize this is too late for this case, but if anyone ever decides to deal with a potentially sketchy comany like this, use a credit card. In the past I've had situations where I've just given up on someone I'm doing buisness with (like here). Getting money back that was sent straight from a bank account is a huge drawn out ordeal that you may not even win. With a credit card I've had the money credited back to my account at the end of a 15 min phone call. They front you the money back instantly and then fight the case for you in order to repay themselves. I can't vouch for all credit cards, but I've done this with my Citi Card a number of times and it has really saved my ass with minimal effort on my end.
Dustin, you must have missed the multiple statements I made about using a Credit Card and starting a dispute. Maybe I am reading your comment wrong incorrectly though...
call visa and tell them your story , i have been a visa merhcant for 25 years visa does not like it when someone takes a visa card and does not offer a service or product they will give your money back and charge them, that is a lot of money they take things very serious, they also keep a record of merhcant problems if he has had any other visa problems with other people, they respond very fast.
Actually $4000 was on Visa and $2000 was on American Express. Visa has been awesome, already issued the credit, but it is considered "pending" until both sides give there case (which obviously, I already have). I'm bumming now that I completely paid off the $6000. It's a possibility I'll go all summer without it but I sure hope not!
American Express on the other hand - what a joke. I will be canceling this card when this is over. 6 to 8 weeks before someone even looks into it and a credit is issued... they have not even asked me to provide my case/documents backing up my part.... unreal. One of the reps actually told me "sir, send the product back and I'm sure this dispute will end quickly"... I'm thinking to myself dude, what are you smoking? Maybe your not understanding that I was NEVER sent anything...
I do not wish for anything bad to become of WDK. There products are amazing, they really are. Work's of art I might add. Hopefully this will be a learning experience and we will see others post about there 1200CC builds... that motor is just PIMP! No one can deny it. Unfortunatly, the bad flavor of how my situation was handled is still in my mouth, and I will never be one of them...
