I was finally paid in full. What I did was contact MSPA and MSPA International by email and described the problem. I received a follow-up email from one of them (dont remember which). I continued to pursue this with Red Quanta through Feb. and was continually promised payments. I then went back the response received from MSPA stating they would follow up w/RQ and replied to that email with the facts again. They again replied that they would follow up. I did then receive word from RQ that they were working on it (yeah, sure), but i was eventually paid for a partial ... then another. The other day I was notified of a final payment from them that I had written off, but am now fully reimbursed.
My thoughts are 1) I have wondered if whomever is supposed to be handling reimbursements is embezzling, there is far too much $ being talked about here for it to be simple, even systematic, errors. My total outlay was only 190, as I wasnt going to let it go to far without seeing some $, so mine situation. But, is was a low enough amount for them to cover without much trouble. Embezzlement would explain long delays and spotty reimbursements. Perhaps if enough of you contact MSPA directly until you receive results, or with enough pressure the depth of this problem gets brought to light. Good luck. p.s. I was not receiving solicitations from them during the last couple of months. But now, since the last payment received, I am receiving solicitations again from them - with different food companies. Round 2? 3? 4? I dont think so.
