Good morning Keith,

I will get this straightened out with you as soon as i can. I was not even in town yesterday. I did not hear from you and assumed you had received your chargeback. I have no intention of not returning your payment. Please let me figure out how to best handle this. I absolutely do nomt want you to hate L5. This whole mess was never the intention.

I will get back to you with a workable solution by tomorrow.

Susan

This is very professional. I hope you can live with yourself and can sleep at night knowing you have ripped me off of $2400. I will never a single good thing to say about your company and business practices. I will brings up about you every chance I get. I hope your company goes bankrupt.

Hello Susan,

If you just take a moment to look at your records you will see that the $2400 was never sent to me. Through out this whole I have tried to work with you guys on this:

1) Sent Money Orders to you so you can avoid the 5% fee on your side.
2) Sorry they where sent to the wrong place, but you have not updated your website with the new address and you did not mention there was a new address.
3) While waiting got the MOs to show up, I paid for them again. Charge to my debt card 11/25/2015. I did that to help you.
4) When you received the MOs you tried to refund my $1200, but you charged me another $1200 instead of refunding it. I sent you a copy of my account showing.
5) After 5 days of not receiving the refund after you said it was sent, I filled the claim. Seriously what could I do at that point.

Please check your accounts and you will see the money was never sent. If you want I can send you copy of my accounts showing I never received anything.

I hope you can handle this in a prompt and professional manor. I am getting frustrated that you will not answer or return my calls.

Thanks,
Keith

Hello Susan,

I still have not received the refund you promised on Dec 17 2015. The original charge on my card on Nov 25 2015 was to cover the $1200 money order lost in mail. You received money and promised me a refund which was done on Dec 17 2015. Instead of a credit it was charge. So now that is a total of $2400 card to my card along with the $1200 money order. You promised to refund my $2400 on Dec 17 2015. After 5 days of waiting and numerous calls to you, I filed a claim with Wells Fargo my bank. That is why I dropped this for so long. Now they are saying to can not process the claim and it is up to me to get the money.

Can you please do the right thing and refund my money? At this point I have got one set of fenders and I am out $3600 for them. Please refund my money here.

Thanks,
Keith

Hi Susan,

Just talked with the South Lyons office this morning. Looks like you talked with them yesterday. I think we are pretty close here. The South Lyons post master needs one thing from me and I think it will be good here. Its amazing how complicated this has gotten.

Thanks,
Keith

That is brutal. Have you tried calling their local sheriffs dept? Also if there was a money order involved I would be contacting the postmaster, you could potentially get a fraud settlement there if you can't get traction on the credit card.

If that fails, I would be on a plane to pay a visit in person and not leave until it was settled. I hear Florida is nice this time of year...

I took the time to read through all the emails, and man, they really took you down good.

First of all, for a set of 2 inch flared fenders, im assuming they are for the rear, the price is like $799.00 or less, why did they charge you $1200?

Also Paying with a money order was just a bad idea from the beginning, then double paying before you got your money orders found, and then giving them your credit card info .......man this brutal

They've played this double billing game with others before, you should talk to the admins here at the site, and if they don't refund the money back for you, L5 should be permanenantly banned from selling anything here, even if its through other companies

Wait till you try and install them and they don't fit! It cost me 3500.00 to have mine repaired and painted the fitment was terrible.

I'm not a lawyer, but this might rise to the level of RICO - I mean there is a pattern according some of the other posters. And many states have a RICO statute that is somewhat parallel to the Federal Statute.

I mean, this looks really bad.

I completely agree but unfortunately, given the track record, I'm not so sure this would happen... I for sure will never deal with them... op, stay on them and your bank and I hope you are able to get your money back
