I sent a rental check to Gibralatar Property Mgt LLC via a secure postal box at the Riverton Heights Post Office in Seattle Washington on February 5th 2009. I received a notice on my apt. door that I was to be evicted unless I paid the rent which they supposedly never received plus an extra $100 in penalties and fees.
I am now sending my rent via certified mail! I don't know if this is a scam or not but this is not the first time they have tacked on erroneous charges to my rent.
The same type of thing happened with Capital One not receiving a payment and many times Capital One charged late fees after I sent the payment with ample time to reach them before the payment was due.
Weather it is the work of unscrupulous companies or the Post Office I will never know. All I know for sure is that I sent the payments. Why they never arrived is a mystery. I'm interested to know if others have experienced this type of thing too?
