December 6, 2006 - I returned the contract and a deposit check for $750.00. The check was cashed on December 9, 2006.

December 11 to December 22 I called every weekday to find who would be finding placement for my machines. For an entire month of calling

January 8, 2007 - I received phone call from St Clair Smith, local placement person for Advanced Placement. He indicated he was the placement person for my machines. During this conversation, I repeated my request to have the machines placed in the Cherry Hill, Morristown and Marlton Areas. He did not check these areas.

He was unable to place any machines on this date.

January 11, 2007 - Mr. Smith contacted me that evening to say if I followed up with the leads he identified, and I told him no. The following day I was contacted by Mr. Smith. He again asked if I had followed up on the leads he identified and I told him no. Mr. Smith did not attempt to contact me after this date.

January 15 to January 26 I continued to call Steve Baird and Jay Baird at Advance Placement to find out why my machines were not place as committed in the contract provided on December 6, 2006. They did not have an answer and are unwilling to return the deposit of $750.
