HTHM Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I did some work for a company in NJ and am having a lot of trouble collecting. Does anyone here know the best way to make these guys pay up? There is no issue with the work that was done and no valid reason to refuse payment. It is not a lot of money, but I went out of my way to help these guys out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinfool Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I run a small business myself and often find that most companies I work for will tell you that they will pay net 30 but usually end up paying net 90 or even 120. It just seems to be the way they do business. Have they suggested that they will not be paying and did they give you a reason? Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Thet never said they would not pay, but their actions are speaking much louder than their words. They are well past 120 days now. They out and out lied to my bookkeeper two and a half weeks ago, saying the cheque has been mailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Assuming it was fpr work on an Ontario property, slap a lien on the property - quick. That way if they try to do any new financing etc they'll have to deal with you first. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) Put a lien on the property. Then, when he wishes to settle the matter, be difficult to reach. Edited April 26, 2009 by bigugli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 A lein is the morally wrong thing to do, the property owners are not responsible for the work that needed to be done. I repaired water damage that was caused by defective water bottles on behalf of the water bottle suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collection route is the only other option, but on smaller sums the return can be negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Moral compass gets a little off course when my services are rendered and bills are not paid ,I like Sonnys advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
