"Welcome to the HIGHTOWER/WAMRA CONSOLIDATED COALTION (H.W.C.C.). We are a coalition with a mission to protect the mineral rights of our members by negotiating the best possible deal and lease." This is what we are all about and have finally reached our goal with the help of many volunteers and our attorney, Mark Nastri, patiently holding our hand through the process.

Since around October 15th many of the homeowners in the East Phase have received payment through their banks of our Lease Signing Bonus. If you signed a lease in June and have not received your money, call the bank to inquire about the payment. A draft differs from a check as it is collected by the bank on your behalf through their collection department.

The timing of your payment depends on several things:
Our agreement allows 90 business days or (banking days) for payment. (Calendar days excluding Sat-Sun-Holidays)
The date your bank submitted the draft for collection is when the ninety days begin.

On the date the draft is due, your bank will request your payment.

The Bank of Oklahoma on behalf of Chesapeake will US Mail a cashier's check made out to your bank, then your bank will deposit into your account. (This last part can take from 3 to 5 days.)

The procedure is the same for all banks, but some have more delays than others and good customer service may be lacking. If you do not get an answer from your bank collection department by a phone call, take a copy of the draft and a receipt if you have one to the bank. Ask to see an officer and it is very likely, the bank officer, will get you an answer for you.

Please remember your neighbors in the West Phase still negotiating and try to answer some of their questions, if possible. p>
