Well the fax war with Shell / Texaco is in full swing. I have been trying to hit them four times a day. There was a break through of sorts. I got a letter in the mail from them claiming they are investigating the issue, and to assure me that I am NOT responsible for the for the disputed amount during the investigation, and that the "initial investigation" may take up to 60 days. I assume this means they received my fax, but who the hell knows. If I were them I would add something to the form letter saying we received your fuckin fax, blah blah blah...

So I noticed that the date on the latter is August 4th, which was the day after I started faxing them. By the time I received their letter, I had faxed them a total of about 20 times. So I started thinking, now that they are working on it, should I stop faxing them. I turned to my team of advisors, and they said no go. I did not win yet. It is not truly a win until I have the money back, or the credit in my account. So fax war is still on strong!

I am currently up to 36 outgoing faxes since August 3rd, and I am pretty much hitting full stride at 4 faxes per day. Since I figured out how to queue them up for 24 hours in advance, I may kick it up a notch every week, and increase the amount by one, until I receive full satisfaction.
