Here's her number - please let me know if it's going to be more expensive than the $320 or so we talked about. Lindsey: <<phone # redacted>>

If you have PayPal I can send payment to friends and family so it can't be reversed.

Okay, we'll figure out some way to get you the money. What about the cover and the thermal fuse?

I did, can you send me an email to <<email redacted>>

More?

What kind of work do you need done?

Yes, we are going to pay today or tomorrow, we didn't have the invoice until a day or two ago, and trying to pay this way is unusual and very different and difficult for us, it's much easier for us feel to pay with a card or PayPal or something normal like that

I've left a message for Lindsey (staying in the RV) about whether we can send the cash to her to pay you. I'm waiting to hear back from her.

She's out until Monday with limited cell reception and says she can do the payment, so let's setup a time for you to go out once she's back Monday.

What is your plan? Am I going to have Lindsey pay you when you finish the job, or do you want to setup a time to meet here? I just checked moneygram online, the fees for sending are almost $40.

Do you accept credit cards? If not, when did you stop accepting them?

You refused to talk to me over the phone, so I'll have to send this as a lengthy text message. I think you are creating a hostile situation where there does not need to be one. You are assuming that I do not want to pay you when every single conversation has been me asking you to take payment through conventional payment channels. If I didn't want to pay you, we wouldn't be having this conversation, I just wouldn't pay you. But instead you make unreasonable demands *after* work is done and refuse to discuss them at all. To be very clear: I can pay you by credit card *RIGHT NOW*. You claim to not accept credit cards, but according to yelp you accepted a credit card payment last month, which was when I first contacted you about this repair. You are refusing to accept this as a payment method. I can pay, *RIGHT NOW* by: Credit Card Cashiers check Bank check Personal check Money Order Paypal Venmo Square Wire transfer I can also have Lindsey pay you *in cash* when you complete the job. You are refusing to accept any of these as payment methods. You are telling me that you only accept Moneygram or Western Union. This was not agreed upon or mentioned before work commenced, and your yelp page, which you have claimed and know about and have responded on, shows that you take credit cards. You talk about needing cash upon completion of work. I am more than happy to do this, because the work is not complete. You have explained that the thermal fuse and cover are missing, which you list on the invoice as $51.55 in parts, ignoring labor. I have offered to pay you, in cash, once the work is complete. You do not accept this either. You *only* accept non-traceable payment and refuse to give me a mailing address, yet you have not completed the work. You refuse payment that every other business is willing to accept. And because it's non-traceable, if I pay you with Moneygram then I have no way of proving you've received the money, as you have no way of proving that I've sent it. Furthermore, you are demanding that I use a payment method that has 10% fees, adding almost $40 to my bill. You have multiple reviews on yelp from people saying that you did not do work you were paid for. You have threatened to go back and remove your work and charge me for that because you have refused to take payment for your work through normal payment channels. I want to be very clear that: 1) I doubt that Lindsey will give you permission to enter the private property the RV is stored on in order to remove this repair. 2) While I am happy to pay you, using normal payment methods for work you have done, I will not pay you a penny if you remove your repairs. Here are your options: 1) Take money though normal business channels 2) Take cash at completion of the work, which you can schedule with Lindsey when she returns on Monday. 3) I am also willing, at this point, to simply send you money for the work done minus the cost of parts you haven't installed - thermal fuse and control board cover, which would be $285.10 4) Sue me and explain to a judge why you have a right to demand a specific and expensive payment method when that was never agreed on beforehand, when you have a customer who is trying to pay you with the same methods every other business uses. Let me know which one you would like to do. Those are your options. Harassing me and demanding that I use an expensive and antiquated payment system will get you nowhere. Please let me know which option above you would like to go with.

"You had agreed to wire me the payment and have failed to do so" I will happily send a wire transfer from a bank right now. Please tell me the account to deposit it into. I will not send a moneygram. I never agreed to send a moneygram. I will not use a service that we did not agree on and costs an extra $40. Moneygram is not meant for paying businesses. Moneygram is for sending money to friends and family. You are neither. From *THEIR OWN WEB SITE* they state: "Do not send money to someone you don’t know" That's their website. So I am not going to pay $40 to send you money for a job that's not even complete. Period. I will pay you through normal business channels. Period. I will pay you through normal business channels. Period. I WILL PAY YOU THROUGH NORMAL BUSINESS CHANNELS. PERIOD. According to your invoice, without the fuse and board cover parts, I owe you $285.10. I'll ignore the labor you were willing to do to install them. I can see how quickly Lindsey can meet you with the money. She does not get back until Monday. I cannot change that. You can scream and yell all you want, but today is Thursday and she gets back on Monday. Or I can send you the money right now. Right now. Credit card, cashiers check, paypal, venmo,... You are welcome to drive down here and pick up cash. If you require that I use a service that costs $40 to send, then I can also do that and remove $40 from the invoice. I am done with this conversation. You have been given very reasonable options that every business uses. Tell me which one you want out of the options I have listed and I will use that to pay you. Period. That's it. Tell me which one you want and I will pay you and we will never have to do business together again. Which of the options do you want to receive your money? 1) Cash from Lindsey when she is back and can meet you. I do not control her location or schedule. 2) Bank wire transfer - I need a destination account and bank info for this 3) Credit card 4) paypal 5) Venmo 6) Cashiers check - I need a mailing address 7) Money order - I need a mailing address 8) Bank check - I need a mailing address 9) At this point I am willing to send you a moneygram for the amount owed minus $40 if you want to pay the moneygram fees and we simply pay for the work done so far. That's not including the fuse and cover. I am not going to pay you by moneygram with a promise to do that work. 10) If you desire, you're welcome to come to SF to pickup the cash, though I think that's ridiculous. I'm certainly not going to drive up to Santa Rosa to give you cash for a job that's not even completed yet. Take your pick. Pick one, and that's it. That's all. Period. I keep bringing up a number of points which you completely ignore. You have addressed none of them. In particular I never agreed and was never told about your strange and expensive payment requirements and I do not agree to them. I am done with this discussion. If you think that this means that I am not willing to pay you, then you have clearly not been reading what I am sending. Tell me which options you choose. Otherwise feel free to show this conversation to a lawyer and have him explain to you that you don't have any legal (or ethical) right to make these kind of demands. TELL ME WHICH OPTION YOU CHOOSE SO I CAN PAY YOU AND BE DONE WITH WASTING MY TIME ON THIS.

You have chosen cash from the list of above options! Lindsey will be within phone service on Saturday and returning Monday and I will find out when she can meet you at her earliest convenience. I will have her pay you the $285.10 that is owed without installing the cover or fuse in american cash. I will let you know once she has times available.

1) Every single mobile RV repair I've dealt with before 2) The truck company I just took my truck too, they finished our truck while we were on vacation, I paid them when I got back. 3) The concrete company that just repaired our sidewalk. He also wanted cash, so I said I had to get it from the bank next week. He came to my house the next week and I handed him cash and he said thanks and we talked about future work we can do. I could go on and on. I *cannot*, however, name a single company that has even asked for a moneygram, much less required it, or required cash when I was not there. It seems you are having trouble listening. You cannot fix the water heater right now. Lindsey is not there. I don't know why it's so difficult for you to understand that. I do not have other residents there. I do not own that property. I don't even know the names of the other people there. I own the RV that Lindsey is parking there. So you are not going to fix the water heater right now. In fact, I don't even want you to fix the water heater, because I don't want to do any more business with you. I want to pay you and be done. I owe you the $285.10 for the work done according to your invoice. If you want to get paid right now, then pick one of the other options. I know that you take credit cards. You have that ability, so I will call and pay you for the work done so far by card. I can send you a number of immediate payment options. They are listed above. You have chosen cash. If you wish to choose something else before I have Lindsey pay you, let me know. Otherwise we are done talking.

Please see my posts above.

The number of posts I have put above, that you continue to ignore. If you wish to file criminal action, I suggest you go talk to the police about the person who wants to pay you but you won't let him. You have my address and phone number, they can come and arrest me immediately for this crime. We're done here. You have chosen cash when Lindsey has returned. Let me know if you choose one of the other options. Feel free to read my previous messages, it seems you haven't read them, because you haven't responded to any of the points I've raised.

Feel free to take whatever legal action you feel is necessary.

Lindsey has the cash for the work you have done and has been trying to contact you. If you don't have your payment yet then please contact her.
