Holiday Travel Of America Took my money but didn't give me the free trip I had won. Ripoff Carlsbad California

I "won" a free trip to Hawaii for attending a high pressure sales presentation. I booked my trip and sent in $100 for "taxes".

The date for my trip got closer, but I never received any tickets in the mail. When I called, I was told the the dates were probably not available and I would have to reschedule (1 week before I was scheduled to leave!)

I told them that I just wanted my $100 back. They offered me 2 nights in a hotel for my trouble. I said, just send me my money back.

Over the next year I made many phone calls. Every time I was told "the checks in the mail", both by a gentleman named Hian, and his supervisor. When I finally threatened legal action, I received a check. Although I did not receive the check until the end of January, 2007, it was dated December 13, 2006. I finally deposited the check into my account and 3 weeks later was informed that I had bounced a check because my balance was $100 less than I thought it was.

Holiday Travel of America had put a STOP PAYMENT on the check I had waited over a year to get!!! Stupid me, I threw away my "Certificate" AND my list of contact dates and what was said during those contacts, when I received the check.

I want: My original $100, the $5.00 the bank charged me for having a deposited item returned, and the $20.00 I was charged for overdrawing my account. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this?
