I received my 2e/111 and 2h/2135 checks about 6 weeks apart after the Refund email. The 2e showed up the next day, and the 2h took a while. Both were received weeks before the BK.

Angry lost deposit too

It appears that I'm being screwed out of my deposit too. Does anyone have any idea if there's anything left to try? Any idea as to how many people got screwed out of our deposits?

Default $500 is worth a little effort

I got mine back, but if I had not, I would write a letter to Wells Fargo and include evidence of the original credit card charge, your reservation numbers (original and updated) and require a signature on letter delivery.

I think the issue right now might be with the bankruptcy proceedings. Although this money was held in trust, it might be part of the overall liquidation. As the bankruptcy pans out, the money should be disbursed back to you.

Also, you could contact Wells Fargo Merchant Services to see about the refund. Their customer support number is on the Wells website.

The email said they were doing the refunds in batches and that mine was scheduled for December but that they would be trying to get them out before the end of November.

It is now December 13 and I have still not received the refund. I am beginning to feel that by being loyal and patient I may have allowed myself to be set me up.

I sent emails to cancelres@aptera.com and to family@aptera.com last week and have received no response.

The cancelres and family@aptera.com are both discontinued emails. They now bounce back. I had also received an email back in September telling me my refund was slated for end of October 2011. Nothing yet.

I called the Wells Fargo bank today. They are aware of Aptera, but no longer are custodians for Aptera's monies. There is nothing they can do for us...
I guess I have lost my $500 deposit. This is no way to get ahold of Aperta except to post on their Facebook page....of which they haven't responded since closing their doors.

Default Other deposit holders?

I'm trying to organize an effort to get these deposits refunded. I have made some progress contacting Wells Fargo and the company which now is responsible for the refunds. If you are a deposit holder and would like to get involved or receive information, send me a private message or an email to gregwashburn@cox.net. I know of 4 people at this time who have no received their refund. I know there must be more.

Greg,

There is a thread that has been created to gather all the names in one place. So far it seems your list is longer than the current list, but it would be nice to merge them.

http://www.apteraforum.com/showthread.php?t=4910

Best of luck.

I, too, have not received my refund, and I was contacted back in August.

Could be a nice bit of pocket change. Wonder who walked off with the money?
