What is the name of your state?Hello everyone:
STATE:Florida
I am not sure this question falls under the fringe benefit section. If not please accept my apologies and redirect accordingly.
I worked for a call center company which outsourced call attending services for a reknown online travel company.
As part of the sales incentives $100-$400 +/- were offered for sales agents who reached a given sales conversion rate during announced periods.
During my employment with this company (5 months +/-). I managed to earn (3) $200 giftcertificates. The certificates are from Giftcertificates.com. I used one of the $200 certificates and kept the other two for another better opportunity. The certitificates do not expire ever, according to Giftcertificates.com.
I quit my employment with the outsourcing company and moved to another state. Two months after quiting my job on good terms I attempted to use the certificates and the website indicated they had been used!!. I contacted Giftcertificates.com who indicated in writing that someone other than me had used them, therefore I needed to contact my ex-employer. I have made phone calls, written emails, appeared in person and all I have gotten is "we are looking into it", and no returned calls or emails for the last three months on the part of my ex-employer.
At this moment I am contemplating some type of legal action to receive what is rightfully mine. I am not sure of what the best route is: Theft police report? small court suit? . I am also trying to keep it as economical as possible since I do not count with the funds to hire an attorney.
Can anyone share some advice? I want to take action and not just let someone steal my money. Thanks in advance for your advice.
