Elite Foods
Tele-Check
P.O. Box 60012
City of Industry , Cali. 91716-0012

Once again people have broken their word!!! First time you contacted me about this check was in Mid January, 5 months after the check was written to a salesman , in fact there was 2 salesmen present, for Elite foods who agreed after calling someone on the phone, to hold the check till at least August 24,2005 when they knew the money would be in the bank . Which is a verbal contract. And as we all know someone broke their word and summited the check causing all kinds of fees for me. In a January phone call the Female Tel Check operator said that it appears I didn't want to pay for the food/check. And I told them that was not right, to Please DO NOT redeposit the check.There was some trouble with my account and I would send a money order to which she said that the necessary info to where to send money order was in the mail but she was going to redeposit the check till she got the money!!!. Of course I have yet to receive that information on where to send the money order. Then on or about February 8,2006 a female operator agreed NOT to cash my check # 0724 dated August 18.2005 as I was going to send a money order which she agreed to and gave me the address and the account number.

As I'm sure you know by now you now have double payment as I did send you a money order as I said I would, for the $132.00 owed Elite foods, money order number 109625367 from Suntrust Bank dated February 9,2006 and you cashed / resummited the check for $132.00 on February 13, 2006. not even giving the money order time to get from Florida to California as re-discussed on Feb. 11 agreeing to a few more days for the money order to arrive.

Now you must return the money IN FULL Either return the money order to me or a check for the total of $132.00 payable to me plus Elite foods owes me $90.00 in fees times 2 for a total of $180.00 in returned checks which they caused by depositing this check at the wrong time causing many other checks to bounce!!!


*The answer we got from Telecheck was the check was dated the day of the sale and not post dated. They say you can not post date a check it is ageist the law. I say wrong to that! A check is an I.O.U. and if one takes a postdated check then that is the date agreed upon. The bank dose not want to mess with it and nothing more. But when you give your word and you represent the company it should be your bound. Do not say she is responsible for her debts as she knows that. But who is responsible for the check fees squired by depositing a check earlier then agreed to? Let us not forget she never had any contact with anyone about this check from any company for over 5 months. Now she gets the a letter in the mail she still owes $30.00 in fees... Keep in mind that she has now paid $264.00 to ELITE FOODS/TELECHECK via electronic bank withdraw form Telecheck and a Bank Money order she sent in by mail! I think they owe her money don't you?

To Whom It My Concern:


I can NOT believe these people what me to pay them more!!!!!!!!!!!!! As you can see by the enclosed copy of my letter dated Feb.14, 2006 that I doubled paid these people!!!!!! Via bank check that they agreed NOT to cash ,after all the troubles we /they were having and I sent them a Suntrust Bank Money order, #109625367 (MO. Paid on 21 FEB 06 as per bank) Sent on Feb. 9, 2006 and before the money order could reach from Florida to California they chashed the check Feb. 13, 2006 So I am not giving them anymore money seeing that and extra $132.00 is way over the $30.00 they say I owe.

So if anyone is due money it's ME!!!!!! Refund can be sent to the above address.

Thank you

I just love how the GM states that Elite has to hire losers to represent their product. Makes me wonder what the upper management ethics are like.

First, Please allow me to apologize for any problems that may have arisen out of this situation. However first and foremost the common sense of having a bank account, If you don't have the money then don't write a check. Telecheck is correct it IS ILLEGAL for any person to write a check that cannot be cashed or deposited at the time of you writing it, but that does not mean what the guys did us moral. As well let it be noted that all salesman are Independent Contractors and unfortunately are held at very low standards, morals, and ethics.

No company accepts a hold check for liability and security reasons. If they claim they do chances are they are shady and will probably rip you off. Secondly when a Salesman takes a check from a customer they are required to call it in to Telecheck who then verifies that the account holder is not a Bad check writer and guarantees the check against any negligence on the customers behalf. If the check is good there is never a issue with them, However if your check is returned for non sufficient funds they will continue to try and contact you and re-deposit the check till it clears.

As far as a verbal contact with ANY salesman... Get it in WRITING, salesmen lie and there is no lie to that. A verbal contact has to be proven or both side state that they did have a verbal contract.

Yet again I am sorry for what these men have done to you and any refunds of any over-payment will need to be collected from Telecheck.
