cash in hands is lots better than a trip to the bank. only way to go dealing with a stranger

Not possible when running a business. If I demanded cash only for goods and services customers would soon be in short supply.

Small deals through Craigslist or Marketplace are always cash but very few would fork over $10,000.00-$15,000.00 in cash for the 30% advance payment I require on all building and remodeling jobs.

I would say he probably scammed you from the beginning. You'll have to take him to small claims court is my guess.

Do you know where he lives? That's how I'd play the game.

On building and remodling jobs you have recourse in the form of a lien. sell somebody half a beef and they dont pay your just lost half a beef

even after you get a judgement if they dont pay nothing is done. you can garnish wages if there are any. if someone didnt garnish them first

A Doctor and a Lawyer? Is their son a Nigerian Prince? That's a load of crap to intimidate you, don't buy it. Being Nigerian, maybe they have some kind of ritual thing they do with the head, but, who cares. Sue their tails off. In Mo, it's against the law to stop payment on a check without an exceptionally good reason.

Going that route would be a huge PITA and tie up money indefinitely. Simply waiting for a check to clear your account solves all kinds of problems.

Did the processor get paid? If so then part of the unfinished order may have been on them. I agree with Bernie go to small claims court. You may not win but if he is a doctor and she is a lawyer they may not want their names in the paper or court record for a few dollars.

Only take cash.

Check with an attorney, you might need to go ahead and deposit that check so it bounces and you can show fraud on his part.

Contact your States attorney and see what his thoughts are about this because different States view checks differently so it’s a crap shoot. Explain it clearly to him if he put in the cut order how could it be your fault?

If he’s not paying you I’d think that that beef is yours to pick up, you would think taking ownership without paying would be theft in my book but SAs are often lazy. Sounds like this guy lives by the I take and find a reason to not pay for everything I can get away with. See what your local Sheriff says he’s the top LEO in your County he might step up.

I’d pick it up pay for the processing if needed and sell the “bad” cut beef to others willing to pay a fair price for it in cash!

If you don't pick your customers carefully, you'll get stung a few times.

That's the thing, I did cash the check. Then when I was online checking my account a few days later I noticed a charge back on my account. By the amount of it I knew which check it was so I called him. He said he didn't know why there would be a problem with the check but he would talk to his bank and find out what the problem was. Then yesterday I got the letter from the bank about it that showed that he had put a stop payment on it. So I called him again angry that he lied about it. Had to get off the phone with him before I said something too stupid.

He is claiming he will bring cash tomorrow for me but supposedly I only get it if he is happy with how the processor finished his order.

The processor did get paid and he cashed his check a couple days before I did mine. He says his appears to be ok. the customer already has the meat. This is all over the preparation of the head and hide for consumption. He was not clear on what he wanted and it's not a service that the processor usually provides. He was just trying to make a difficult customer happy.

Keep us posted.

People make a living complaining about everything and anything to get it cheaper or for free you will find a lot of guys that never deal with the same guy twice because they turn everything into a game. If he gets all the meat for free and does not pay a dime go to civil court and ask for judgements until your paid this guy is depending on you folding so don’t. States Attorney, Sheriff then Vito but get paid!

I'm not sure why you are responsible for what the processor does with the meat after delivery.

I would find out if he is the kind of doctor that can set bones and apply stitches if he did not pay me or return every ounce of beef he took possesion of.

Dude is a scammer and needs to get an education

Even more pfoof that he was happy with the processing.Commence with what I said in my original post.DO NOT TAKE THE MEAT BACK,,unless you want bad meat AND to not get paid.

.... get ahold of their tribal leader or witch doctor... but be careful, they might try to eat you too
