Mike,
I am sorry I have not gotten back to you sooner, I have been traveling for business.
Like anyone else today we struggle with getting paid to be paid. While it was not intentional to provide you with MC/VISA numbers that did not get approved, we have since found ourselves in a very difficult situation financially.
I am the only one in the household working consistently. I have several Santa Cruz clients who owe me outstanding sums who are not paying, and the cycle is adversely affecting everyone including you. It is in reality the difference between paying you and feeding my household at this point, and as you can imagine, a difficult choice to have to make, and yet a consistent one in the country.
As you have been chasing me for the money, I have been chasing my relationships because to get paid means we can pay out. I wish it were not so.
I can authorize a 4 month payment plan with you if this is what it will take to remedy this matter as a win/win solution. One income to feed a family of four means that I have to stretch the dollar as far as I can, and rather than continue this, I would just as soon get on course with you to instigate a winning solution. I hate to owe money and I hate to have left matters in this manner. Its both embarrassing and the stress makes me ill.
If you are amenable to a total collection of $250.00 to make up for expenses you might have incurred to attempt to collect and the length of time that has elapsed, I would suggest $62.50 and payment to be taken on the 16th of each month (so that you can begin to collect this by this Thursday as a gesture of good faith and moving forward). If my finances improve, and the payments due to me from my relationships in Santa Cruz come to fruition (perhaps this will generate good karmic cycles and I will get paid) I will follow up and advise to charge the full amount or a greater amount depending on what comes in, I promise. If not, I ask that you understand the predicament, forgive the elapse and transgressions, and work with me for the solution.
Thanks very much. Upon agreement I will send an attachment with banking information and complete new Visa information for charge.

The job was done on 2/28/09 and was the 3rd time we've worked for her.
She gave us two CCards with bogus 3 digits numbers and then promised to send checks two times and then stopped answering her phone numbers.
She never once told me her story.
If she were still in my area and likely to use us again I would let it go but she moved to Texas so I might as well let her make payments.
