Debbie,
To recap the telephone conversation we just had ---.
You at first mentioned that you do not work for BE Productions, and that you
cannot obtain a copy of my contract, and that you felt that ALL services are
still available. However when I insisted that the contract promised a TV
show per year, and that a year has passed without one, and that I would send
a copy of my contract only to my credit card company, then you stated you
will get a copy from BE Productions. So you are the same company - or, at
the very least, affiliated.
When I mentioned the TV show, you said this was on hiatus, to be resumed
when the economy gets better. How can this happen when BE Productions is
out of business? When will that be and with what production company???
So within a 10 minute conversation, I observed you lie and contradict
yourself. As I mentioned to you on the phone, can't you see what swindling
scam BE Productions was to bilk hard earned money from many, many
hard-working parents?
The main "service" I was promised and have not received is a TV show a year,
and therefore a refund is warranted as "services not rendered."
I tried to give you an opportunity to do the right thing and refund my
money, but since you refused and said it was not an option, I will have to
pursue other avenues.
Sincerely,
Julia

Good afternoon Ms :
I am sorry that I missed you this afternoon when I called you.
I would like to know if it is possible that you call me directly at
310-433-1396. That is my direct cell phone number. I have that with me at
all times. My office hours are Mon - Fri 10:00 to 5:00 pm.
I was informed that you would prefer I email you, but I believe in this
situation a phone call would be more effective. You are more than welcome to
record all calls.
Please let me know when it is convienient to call you and we can set up a
time.
If I don't hear from you today, you and your family please have a faboulous
weekend.
Thank you
Debbie Mendoza
