MASCUSA returned check policy approval date 3/13/13.
Guidelines for returned checks or payments:
1. A $25 non-sufficient funds/returned fee is assessed.
2. If MASCUSA receives a returned check from our bank for a payment, the payer will be invoiced for the original amount of the check plus the bank fee. The payment of the invoiced amount will be due within 20 days of invoice date. We will not resubmit the original check, nor will we accept another check for the payment. The payer will need to take care of the amount due with a "cash only/ money order/ cashier's check/ or Pay Pal".
3. No processes will be completed until the amount due is paid in full.
4. If a process is stopped and no payment is made all paperwork, applications, etc., will be returned to the person or persons who submitted them. |
|
BE SURE AND USE THE NEW MASCUSA ADDRESS
ADDRESS CHANGE
Effective immediately, the club's official business address for all mail (including registration paperwork, memberships, and winsheets) will be:
Miniature American Shepherd Club of the USA, Inc.
Attn: Patricia Davis, Secretary
PO Box 967
Shawnee, OK 74802-0967
This change of address has been done in order to provide a better system of checks and balances. Paperwork will be held for a sufficient time to allow checks to clear the bank prior to being forwarded for processing. Payment made by PayPal must be against an invoice generated by MASCUSA for specific processes. Foreign money orders and cashier checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank. All mail that has been sent to PO Box 141097, Broken Arrow, OK and PO Box 65, Shawnee, OK, will be automatically forwarded to the new post office box.
If you have any questions regarding this change, you can email the Board of Directors at
|
Note from the Board: PAYPAL
If you are submitting registration transactions and want to speed the process up, please include a request for a PayPal invoice with your paperwork. Please do not make PayPal payments in advance - payments must be made against an invoice. Once the PayPal invoice is paid, the paperwork is immediately forwarded to the registrar. If making payment by check, the process will be delayed approximately two weeks to ensure the check clears the bank. |

New Fees & New Forms Effective Feb 1, 2013
You must pay all applications using the new fees and be sure to download the new forms!

Important Note:
According to the Records Manager for Entries, Betty Nightingale at ext 3585: "There are no Champions in the FSS or Misc class. The dogs can earn a CM.
