My Horror Story

I have been with TALKSUGAR off and on for over 4 LONG YEARS. I have never had any issues with them until recently. On 1-1-08 I received a check for 281.52 for the pay period of 12/16 thru 12/31 2007 so I deposited that check into my checking account and went on about my usual business. 

On 1-18 this was posted to my checking account 01/18/2008 FOREIGN ITEM ADJUSTMENT FGN ITEM(S) RETURNED FOR NSF…-$296.52  It was a returned check for 1089980 ALBERTA INC  AKA (TALKSUGAR) I contacted the company In question Via Email and was told the Following

Hi,

Apparently our bank made some error last month and a couple of checks
bounced. This has never happened to us before, it really sucks, and I
apologize. If you’d be willing to mail us the check back, we’ll reissue
you another one as soon as we get it, via Xpress Post.

As far as that NSF fee, there’s really nothing we can do about that. I
strongly encourage you to speak with your bank manager and request that
you not be charged, as it’s really no fault of yours.

Regards,
Eric

So I Sent the check back and made a copy I sent it VIA UPS and today on 2-7-08 I noticed Im now locked out of my account with No Access. All I want is my money. In addition to the 281.52 that was NSF they are also holding well over another 135.00 for this current period thats over 400.00.

They are not an Employer they are nothing more than a BILLING PLATFORM that’s ripping Flirts/Sugar Hosts Off.  Just because they are located in Canada doesn’t mean I don’t have rights or others have rights. I refuse to let this go. It’s not about the money it’s the Principle Of the Matter. If I have to spend 2,000.00 or more in fees obtaining my rightful monies I will.  Im not Brand New to the Business nor are they going to pass me over and treat me like I am. I have my own merchant account and have been in the business for years. I have already filed a complaint with the CBBB and I’m not stopping there.
