Has anyone got the good checks yet as promised? Or does anyone really care?

Start with blowing up their email box until you get a check. Move onto regular phonecalls.
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

I don't sell to Nafa so I really don't have a dog in this fight but I have a question for you guys that do . If you sold a car, roofed a house or did any kind of work for anyone and they paid you with a bad check would you set back and let that person decide when they would make it good ? Yes I understand they had banking problems but if you had banking problems and wrote a bad check would the people who got that check want their money right away or would they let you say keep checking the mail it will be there sometime this month or next? Sorry like I said no dog in the fight but it seems just because it's them they get a pass and everyone is okay with it. That's my thought as well. If I ran NAFA, my employees would be working non stop until all the new checks were issued. I would not have them wait and send them out at their leisure. It seems like an extraordinarily poor way to treat someone you want to stay in business with. I hope NAFA can get it back together. Keith

I worked for a company once with equipment and fuel cards. No need to specify further. One Friday they called all of us foreman and said to fuel all of our trucks up before 4 pm that day. Any trucks in the yard please fuel them up. we did so and were left with no explanation. I had been down this road before and told folks to buff up their resume as the company was likely going under and they needed fuel in trucks before the cards got shut off. The company swore they were just dropping their fuel account and was getting another. Then the next Monday we started rolling fuel from cash provided by our manager as we "hadn't" had our new cards from new company yet. The company again said it was a mistake and they were getting it ironed out. I got a paycheck on Wednesday of that week and on Friday i was told by my bank my payroll check bounced. I was also notified on Friday that my automaticly deducted union dues had not been paid to the union for over six months but they were pulled from my check weekly. then we were obviously told by the company they were filing bankruptcy that day and that they wanted to keep us all as employes and to trust them we would get paid. Long story short. I have seen this in business a few times and I have never had the first information sent out be the actual facts. I hope everyone gets paid and I hope I ma incorrect but i have seen this many times before. My stated example was just one of a few times I have seen it happen. The Fur industry needs multiple auction houses and multiple avenues for folks to chose.

Just talked to Stoughton, sounds like checks to be issued the first week of Nov. Still having bank problems. I am guessing this will be the demise of NAFA. I have heard from several locals that put up pretty fair numbers of critters that they will NEVER sell to them again. In the old days they always treated me well but I haven't shipped anything in several years now.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Maybe. I'm gong to wait and see- My check was not very big and I still have fur there.
I actually own a company and actually have told my guys to gas up everything because I was dropping my credit card co. On the flip side I also had people decide to gas up their personal vehicles on my dime - it happens on both side of business. I don't get that feeling with NAFA. I could be wrong.
I actually had something similar happen to me while switching banks. My money got transferred but to a wrong account. Going off our accounting program I should have had a certain amount but didn't figure it out till the phone calls started. Since it was the new bankers fault her sprung for all the charges and covered all the checks and made it right. This is the feeling I'm getting from their people.
Time will tell.
I agree that we need more options. This is a sign of the times- it is happening in several industries as we speak. If they go under and no one picks up the pieces that won't good for us in the short term future but maybe it will help the country fur buyer?

We don't have enough country buyers anymore to hold that out as an alternative and some of them will be out with NAFA? End of fur?

Yep, nice lady said they changed banks and the new bank was supposed to honor all the checks made out to recipients - somebody dropped the ball. New checks being sent in Nov.

Well the hobby trappers will have to take up bowling and us business trappers will have to find a new Job/business.

When I called Stoughton right after my bank called to tell me I had a bad check, the lady on the phone said it would be made right in Oct. So now its Nov? BTW a bad check is not "bank problems" its a no money problem.

With all that has been said I don’t really understand how there could be bad checks in the first place because NAFA doesn’t pay out until the fur is sold They didn’t buy up a lot of fur and then it didn’t sell At least I never get paid until mine sells.

Two things I believe to be true- nafa is out of money and were never as rich as they put out. They will probably not survive this. The last statement is my opinion.
