Details of resolution (read from the bottom up)
For this to make sense, start with the last message and work your way up. As stated in my previous posting, I did in fact receive the ten cages that were owed me, and all arrived undamaged.

Roman, this is getting tiresome. I sent you photos of the damage to the cage within 48 hours of having received them and in response received--surprise--no response from you. Furthermore, I don't give a crap if you can prove your ridiculous story in court, it's irrelevent to my complaint. The facts are that I sent you money for 11 cages to be delivered in 2-3 weeks. Five months later I received two, one of which was damaged beyond use. Now after seven months you're claiming that you're prepared to finally fulfill my order, coincidentally on the same day that you received a letter from the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office sent on my behalf. What it boils down to is that you have a lot of my money and I haven't the products that I paid for, or a refund. The circumstances that caused these events are irrelevant to me or to a judge. If you to pay the postage for me to send the broken cage back, I'll do so after I receive a replacement. I've even saved the original carton for that purpose. Until then, I'll make ample use of the university legal services that are at my disposal free of charge. You're right that the attorney general's office's legal authority in this matter is limited, but a lawyer's will not be.
I've been far more reasonable to this point than events warrant, but my patience is wearing very thin. Don't forget that a small claims court case against you for one cage will be nearly as much hassle for you as if it were for ten cages, as the case would be filed in Oklahoma. Furthermore, the university may wish to tack on an additional penalties to cover the cost of their lawyer. Send me the ten cages (in good condition) that you owe me and you can put this behind you once and for all. Anything less and I'll continue to pursue this matter until it is settled to my satisfaction.

first of all don't play games with me what I told you was the truth and I will not have any trouble to prove that in any court . And as for the damaged cage you did not turn in over to fedex so I could get the clam for that .As for this letter that I got to day 'it does not hold water and they can't do anything . If you wanted the damaged cage replaced you should have turned it over to fedex. If you have the damaged cage still
I would like to send them back to pick it ' If they have it I get the clam for that cage it's
only $ 100.00 but that replaces some of the money that went into the cage.
Thanks

Hi Lovell,
So I guess you finally received a letter from the Oklahoma Attorney General's office.
First of all, I don't believe any part of your story, and not just because of the many inconsistencies in it. You've lied to me repeatedly about the status of my order over the past seven months (SEVEN MONTHS!!! For an order that you initially said would take 2-3 WEEKS!) Furthermore, if your littany of excuses were true, they're not my concern. I sent you a large sum of money and you didn't deliver what was paid for. I asked repeatedly that you send them or refund my money, and you did neither. AND, you were observed logged into the thread about my problems with you on Fauna way back when I made the first postings. So no, I don't believe any of what you've told me.
That said, if you send me the cages in 10 days (that includes a replacement for the one that was severely damaged in shipping) then I will not pursue any other compensation from you IF I in fact receive the cages in good condition in 10 days. Take note though, that I will not consider the matter finished until I have a total of 11 undamaged cages. If one or more does arrive damaged, I will inform you of this within 48 hours of receiving the cages, and I will take additional action if I don't get a positive response from you within 24 hours.
As for your 'shattered' reputation, it really isn't my problem, as none of what I wrote was libelous. However, after our transaction has been satisfactorally settled, I would be happy to post a message stating that you did in fact send the cages and describing the condition they arrived in and that I like the cages (I really do like the one functional cage I have except for the flimsy hinges). After that, it's your job to rebuild people's trust in your business ethics.
So, 10 cages in 10 days is the bar you've set for yourself. As I've suggested all along, I'd really encourage you to stay in close e-mail contact with me in the meanwhile. It will really help keep my blood pressure down, and probably make me a little less litigeous. I'm not taking the possibility of demanding monetary reimbursement instead of cages off the table in the event I don't receive the cages as you've just promised, so stick to your self-imposed deadline.
Sincerely,
Day

Hi
Just to tell you just what has been gone on ' I have been hospitalize for a long time for back surgery then I came home and stayed bed riding and druged up for over two months then my 12 month old little girl had to have surgery ' Then my uncle died and I had to find some one to drive me out of state to his funereal because I was not aloud to drive at the time . This hole time I did not know what you was doing to me on the internet ' undoing years of work and trust that took me to build up on the internet and no one could tell me this because I was not aloud to be stressed out . So now I back
and now I know . I have been making alot of money on this internet for many years and for the first time I had trouble . Well this is how its gone to go ' I don't care about a little $ 3000.00 order 'its not even a enough to pay any of my bills . You have made it where I don't have anything to lose now ' thats how bad you have made my business now ' So to day I went and talked to a lawer friend of mine. So here is how its gone to be ' I will send out your cages in 10 days and when you get them you will start restoring my good name on the internet . If you choose to come after me for the money thats was put in to your plastic to build your cages ' Then I will have to file for
bankruptcy on the business because you have made such a bad name for me that
I went from have $ 10'000 in my account everyday to own the bank $ 500.00 and that makes me bankrupt so I have every right under the law to file for it. That means you get no money or cages . So now the choice is yours ?
Ps I have never burned anyone 'and I dam sure would not have started with you.
Thanks
Lovell Romans
