0430 -
043001 - She has not seen my letter, ref DIP 3 6897, submitted on 980819 to
043002 - Michele. ref SDS 20 0000  Jennifer advised there is no record of it
043003 - the case file.
043004 -
043005 - She understands that I hold AAA accountable for payment to me
043006 - regardless of their ability to collect from the parties.
043007 -
043008 - I suggested that since...
043009 -
043010 -    1.  AAA's record shows no action has been taken from 980819.
043011 -
043012 -    2.  Marcela advised on 980812 that AAA procedures were not followed
043013 -        in this matter which required collection of arbitration fees
043014 -        some months earlier on 980522. ref SDS 19 2527
043015 -
043016 -    3.  Michele advised that AAA is very busy. ref SDS 20 1616
043017 -
043018 - ...then this is an exigent condition where it would be helpful for
043019 - Jennifer to call the parties about their failure to make payment.
043020 -
043021 - Since everybody is so busy these days due to an expanding economy, the
043022 - non-payment may simply be an oversight that can be remedied quickly,
043023 - or at least Jennifer's experience would be helpful in assessing the
043024 - level of effort required to accomplish recovery.
043025 -
043026 - Jennifer feels it would expedite matters to call the parties, but she
043027 - wants to wait for Michele to return from vacation next week before
043028 - making these calls, in case calls and letters have already been
043029 - initiated that are not shown in the file.

043031 -    [On 980923 received message that AAA will contact the parties on
