So 6 weeks ago I receive my 5th place trophy and check from IHRA. I went to the bank the next day and made a payment with my Feld Motorsports check. About 10 days later I get notified that said check didn't clear. So long story short, since then I have made several trips and multiple phone calls to my bank(they're idiots course it'd help if I only brought them "good" checks maybe) to try to retrieve or resubmit the check. At the same time sending multiple emails to Sharon Ramlow at Feld Mototrsports and all to no avail as I still do not have a replacement check or the $750 dollars. So now at this point I figure I have like 5-10 hours of chasing this crap around, not to mention gas(thankfully its not $4 a gallon) and have been paying 14% on the $750 since I tried to pay a bill with it. Not to mention the stress in dealing with incompentency and being basically lied to. And to top it off, I did receive a letter telling me that they(Feld Mototrsports) were reporting that money as income for me for the 2008 tax year, yet at this point theres no way I'll have that money in 2008...
Now momma always said not to air your dirty laundry in public but my patience for this is long gone. I am tired of having to jump thru all the hoops just to get what I already spent a year of effort, travel, and expense earning!
So I ask again my original question, did anyone elses check from Feld Mototrsports bounce or was it only mine? Which also makes me ponder another question, what happens next year if the Tournament of Champions checks bounce? I wouldn't wanna go thru this with a check for $10,000... seems like that would be a stress test of a far greater level...
