Hey, I'm just wondering what can do be done about this situation.
Last year i was supposed to be on an IOC 5 team in va but it fell through so didn't cheer last year but just supported local programs at comps and trained to stay in competition condition.
Worlds came around and I had planned to support my program and spectate and got worlds package and got my flights taken care of to fly out on Thursday.
One of my good friends from Florida had previously competed at worlds with an intentional team, and he asked me if I wanted to learn the routine and compete with them at worlds. I first validated that it was legal since open teams out of country do some other system. Then my friend and I were told to fly out on Monday by the friend from Florida, so we can practice and learn the routine. I told them if we changed our flight it'd be expensive and he told me that the teams company will reimburse my friend and I. And I asked if he was positive, and he said yes. So we were flown out and trained with other members on the team in Florida that were doing the Puerto Rican team as well. By weds, it appeared the director of the team was a no show because only 1 team can represent that Puerto Rican organization.
I was disappointed then asked if I'd still get reimbursed for the flight, and my friend confirmed yes, I gave him my receipts to give to the director. 2 months since then weekly I asked about my reimbursement. I called the director whom lives in Massachusetts, and they answered told me they had the receipts and theu said hold on and hung up, and then I had called weekly since then for 2 months and no answer even left answering machines, and twice it was picked up and hunt up. Then I've been calling everyday and no response, and I contacted my friend from Florida and he said he had tried to contact the director and no response....
Any idea if I can take any actions or anything? Or how to pursue this?
