Re: Buyback Process

Sorry to hear you were denied. We (in CA) just got our offer letter by e-mail from Michigan, the same day we got a 3881 recall notice by snail mail. Go figure. I don't know if filing a complaint with BBB helped our case but we got there. The chap at BBB was very helpful and concurred with me that th...
