Update: 7/6/2012 GL settled the claim with a 25% slap on the wrist and nice note that says this is a one time allowance for this kind of issue. Refund to be mailed on the remainder of $$$$$ within 21 days...OUCH but much better then 100% loss. I would have gladly paid the default two weeks ago as I'm reasonably sure that part of my stomach thats gone now and loss of sleep are worth much much more . (BTW 2 week steady diet with tums and pepto make you loose weight lol)

With that said Thank god its over and YES it could have been much worse. TY HP and thanks to all who lent an ear. Expensive lesson that in todays world the handshake and take you at your word are useless anymore. Will I trust someone again with out a written contract and Million dollar liable policy NO. Will I invest in a paper company so my reams of paper are cheaper ABSOLUTELY. What saddens me the most is the lost days of my Word and my Integrity are unbreakable, now it seems mean nothing anymore.

I on the other hand was raised with the belief that makes me sleep sound at night. Lord I have done the best I could today and I will do even better tomorrow. I treat people as I want to be treated and have a clear conscious.

Think I will adopt JW's way of thinking "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I expect the same from them." RIP Big John....

Glad you got some of your money back. Maybe you can buy the truck cheaper this time around?

How did you send them the paperwork for the truck?

I find it curious that you have not made any mention of the wrecker company in all this. If in fact you did contact them about the truck then someone there holds at least part of the responsibility, a large part in my eyes. Have you used this company in the past? More than once? Will you use them again? I do not buy the big trucks but most of the others here do. It might be a good idea to let them know who this was so they can make an informed decision if the need for a wrecker service in that area ever arises. No slams or comments, just a company name.

Groff Wrecker service is the one I called and sent paper work to.

Fax the same way I have done all the others

 

[rickf]

If you sent a fax then there is a paper trail. Most fax machines give you a receipt and even if it did not there will be a trail through the phone records. He can deny he got it but you can prove you sent it. It seems you do this for a business so you must have a lawyer you can consult when needed. I would look into a civil suit against the wrecker company. As long as you can prove you sent the fax.

Already in the works;0) Thanks for the info though Rick. My concern was Government Liquidators isn't interested in anything other then if you can prove it was THEIR fault :0( Trust me not a dilemma I would wish on anyone...
