Later, TQM assigned its unpaid invoices to American Factors of Nashville, Inc., which forwarded copies to Fullard with a statement rubber-stamped on each invoice. The statment began with the word "NOTICE" and the name, address,and phone number of American Factors. It also said, "Remittance to other than American Facotrs of Nashville, Inc., does not consitute payment of this Invoice." Included with each invoice was a certifcation by TQM's president that the invoice had been assigned to American Factors.
