Had the opposite. It was a Sunday and I was down 1500 and change. Was calling in and no answer. Turns out they had gotten busted, at least I heard later on.
Anyhow, agent I knew through a friend. Squared up with him.
Months later, ran I to the agent who said I still was outstanding. Of course I said I paid through the same channel I always collected or paid but he said he never got it. Long story short, I got double dipped for half.
Caught up up with my friend and he denied it. Always wanted to put those two together but I quickly out grew it.
Valuable lesson, no middle man.
