Can you believe it? Sony issued me a $30.00 rebate check and stopped payment. This rebate is for a Sony 12X/8X/32X RW Which I bought from Dell in Sept. I received the check and deposited it about 2 weeks ago (check issing date is 12/05/2001). To my surprise, my bank returned the check back to me yesterday, stamping only" STOP PAYMENT DO NOT REDEPOSIT." charging me also a banking fee. Sure, there were times when you never got your rebate check. But issuing a check and then stopping payment , is this rebate cheating in the worst way?
