wow. this reached the point of "interesting" several pages ago. now it's just totally chaotic.
i would like to say, for the record, that it's totally not cool for people to stalk this woman at home. i'm not just saying that because i received my check yesterday. i'm still waiting for the check to clear and still a bit anxious and nervous....though things are definetly looking up.
there are much better ways of going about getting our refunds than bothering hyla at home. this forum is designed for us to exchange helpful information and to help each other out. that's the intentions of most of us...i'm assuming.
if we're assertive and not abusive, positive things will happen.
i did call the 800 # on the check and they told me that it was a third party handling my refund, that the money cannot be drawn out of the account and therefore is likely to not bounce. my bank said that it will take 5-7 days to know for sure. the lady on the phone told me that the only way that the check would bounce would be if mmg called up to put a stop payment.
so...although it wasn't a certified check, it was still legitimate and it looks as if it will go through.
i hope that my experience will be the same as everyone else's. and i've been waiting many months for this, just to let you know...so that means that what hyla wrote about getting it in the order of your cancellation may be the reason for the delay.
good luck everyone!
