So I paid for the santa run and was getting my car ready and practicing when my car started acting up. I found out that it was my transmission was acting up so I took it to nissan. They said that the transmission would have to be replaced. I sourced one online and shipping it from California to here would take about a week. It would come in the day of the santa run. So I called jason and informed him that I would not be able to make it and asked for a refund. This was on November 28th. He said sure and told me that he'd have the money after the event. I e-mailed him after the event with no reply, i thought...he may just be busy. On the 10th of December I recived an e-mail saying, "I'LL BE GETTING MY GATE CHECK THIS WEEK FROM THE TRACK. SO THEN I WILL GET YOR MONEY TO YOU." Those words exactly...in caps too. So i waited...thinking he would be busy. Called a week later and he said he was busy with his daughter and would call me when he paypaled me. Another week went by. I called him and was sending him e-mails checking up to see where my money was but there was no reply. He was out of the office most of the time when i called. I had a very hard time reaching him. I was getting tired of waiting so i sent him one last e-mail and phone call saying that i wanted the money by the 27th or i was going to file a paypal claim. Well, no money so i filed a claim. Here is what the conversations read:

Me:
I paid for the event, I was unable to make it and you said you would refund my money over two weeks ago but you have not contacted me. I have sent you numerous e-mails with no reply. I have given you a fair warning and now I must resort to this. Please get me my money. I am no longer putting up with this.

him:
IT SAYS IT PLAN AND CLEAR ON THE WEBSITE. THAT THERE IS NO REFUNDS. THIS IS A (TOYS FOR TOT) EVENT AND ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THEM. I SAID LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP BUT I CAN'T PROMISE ANYTHING.

me:
In the e-mail you sent me you said, "I'LL BE GETTING MY GATE CHECK THIS WEEK FROM THE TRACK. SO THEN I WILL GET YOR MONEY TO YOU." This was sent on the 10th of December. It is now the 29th of December. You never said, "I'll see what i can do." I talked to you and you said that I will get a refund. Also, the money sent was for the track day. The TOYS we were to bring were for Toys for Tots. Since I did not run on the track the you should still have the money. And you just changed the Website, please don't play me for a fool. I informed you before the event happened that i was unable to participate. On the website it says, "time has passed for refunds" (even though i notified you before the event even happened and you put that up there). Please lets take this no further and just give me my money. I'm sorry it had to escalate to this.


I've been on the website plenty to get his phone number (i look it up on the website to call him) and i have never seen the TOO LATE FOR REFUNDS. Even so I told him before the event happened that i was not going to be able to do it.

I just want to know what you guys think of the situation.

Jason said he'll refund me after event
