So. We were left to either turn him in for not fulfilling his end of the mediated agreement (he had claimed to put a stop payment on the second check, which was for too much money anyway.) We ended up calling the bank, which said there was no stop payment on the check, and so cashed the second check (a month late according to the agreement) which brought him up to "paid" and then mailing him a check for what he overpaid from the agreement, which was $50. We figured that would be the end of it.
Oh no! He GETS the $50 check we send him (via registered mail) and then mails it BACK to us, asking for the original check back, which we already cashed! Uhhhh... what?!
So I sent them an email explaining we already cashed the check to avoid having to turn him in for violating the original agreement, and so could not return it. That was what the $50 check was for; to make up the balance. We wanted to get him the amount he overpaid by, and needed to know how to get it to him, and to please get back to us so we could get him the money.
And what did he do? No response to the email, but the next day he mailed us ANOTHER check, this time for the proper amount! No note, no response, no nothing. What in the HELL? I am completely baffled. Is he trying to get us to cash it so he can then turn around and try to sue us for... I don't know, taking too much money?
This is so, so completely bizarre. I wish I had just turned him in for non-payment, but my wife had wanted to just get it done with, especially as he was looking very old when we saw him and she as afraid he was maybe unwell.
So.
Totally, totally bizarre.
