When a bowler doesn't pay league fees...
« on: June 11, 2005, 03:14:27 PM »
I have once again had a teammate drop out of a league while owing money.
I tried to call her house, but the phone's disconnected.
She just called and said she wouldn't be bowling any more - this was last week ON LEAGUE NIGHT - after she no-showed the week before - supposedly sick.

She owes for 3 weeks arrearages, plus, if I want to get picky, we didn't get any notice, so technically she owes for 2 more weeks.

I contacted the local association, to get the exact scoop on what has to be done. His reply:
 
quote:
You need to have the league president call a meeting of team captains/officers and request the league send a letter (registered w/return receipt) requesting the funds within xx days. then if the money is not forwarded, another meeting is held to begin suspension request. A roster of those present, action decided by league board, registered letter receipt, copy of letter sent to bowler owing the money is then sent to my office, and I forward it to Greendale for action


What a hassle! But I know it is being enforced - a local VERY well known bowler just got suspended.

Any way - have any of you done it? Been successful in getting the money???

Of the leagues I'm on they have done it many times. They have got cards pulled alot too, but as for getting the money maybe once or twice they have got it. Most time the people owing money are ones that dont care anyway if they lose thier card or have just disappeared moved etc.
