  Business response

  3 checks were sent to Kathy she cashed check number 14684. Check number 14629 was returned and stamped NOT AT THIS ADDRESS, check number 14666 still has not been returned or cashed
  We tried several times to electronically send payments but Alpine business Account does not offer *****.(personal accounts only)
  Talked to Kathy about ****** or ******** payment Kathy or her friend that was going to accept ***** payment did not have accounts, she stated to try and resend check which we did. Kathy then threatened of BBB complaint I did state  (do what you need to do I do not control the USPS) 
  A month later she writes a complaint to BBB stating we never paid her and she is still waiting which is stretching the truth just a bit.
  Now she is reporting that I intentionally charged her for the part she purchased is a total lie on her part I was not the person who worked on her vehicle if I had been she would have been charged for the time spent after hours installing her part so she could start back to California we close at 5 The mechanic started he worked until 6:30pm, I was not the person who wrote up her quote and I definitely was not the person that cashed her out after services were complete.
  Seems to me Kathy just wants someone to take blame for a mistake that even she did not notice when she was cashed out
