    Hugh, Sales Rep for Acana, ************. We have tried to call him for several years now trying to resolve accounting issues. He won't answer his phone and you can't leave him a message. We called the office but they won't answer. We did get through to one lady, by using a different phone, who said her computer was down and she would call us back but never did. I have sent multiple emails with no return, no response. So, once a year they send a new invoice with charges and interest. Every time I try to call or email but cannot get through, still no communication. I have paid all the bills including a $333.00 service which they refuse to complete. The last check I sent was in 2019 and I wrote 'paid in full' and a lady from accounting called me for that one and said they cannot deposit the check because I wrote 'paid in full' on the check. I called my bank and they can deposit the check. I just want them to stop and mark my account as complete and paid.

    I was sold a moldy broken machine. They then charged me to fix it. A month of lost sales for me too. Now threatening to send the $641 bill to collections. *** discussed this with multiple people here and then got hung up on. I have pictures, proof, all communications. I never agreed to pay for them to fix a machine that was sold to me broken. **** is not an honest man. He pretends that he doesnt know anything. But he sure did show up fast to sell me a $16*********. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

    This file has been passed to me for review. I can confirm that there has been an error in the handling of this particular account.
    When we changed our accounting system, the complete information attached hereto was not transferred.
    Having reviewed the matter in depth, we have come to the conclusion that the error is indeed to our account, and that Ms *********** account has been credited and there is a zero ($0) dollar balance. Our original paperwork did not include a reference to warranty, but the documentation from the leasing company which Ms ********* signed did indeed mention warranty. we accept and acknowledge that the service was provided under warranty provisions.
    In addition to the removal of all charges from her account, and by way of apology for the inconvenience, we are offering Ms ********* a flavor credit for her Wadden 24 Flavor System in the amount of $100, to be used at her discretion, for either parts or flavors.

    A copy of the text of our letter to her is included here:

    Ms ******* *********
    ********** **** ** **** ** ********* ** *****
    Dear Ms *********:

    Your file has been passed to me for review.
    Following an in depth review of your file, I have found that an error was made in our billing department. In our defence, I would like to point out that, post-pandemic, we have undergone an extensive change of personnel, as well as a complete change of Accounting System.
    Nonetheless, an error was made and you were billed for service which should have been covered under the warranty provisions of the agreement you signed with the leasing company.
    I hereby offer an apology for our error, and assure you that your account has been corrected and that there is a zero ($0) dollar balance.
    In addition, by way of making up for the inconvenience you endured, I am offering you a $100 Flavor credit for your Wadden 24 Flavor System, which you may use at your discretion for either flavors or parts.
    I trust this will help, and I sincerely hope that you will accept our apology. We truly appreciate your business, and we will endeavor to do better in future.
    Best regards;
    --
