In a bind

[Great-Kazoo]

10mm, I feel your pain as I have been there myself. What these dead beats forget, or don't care, its the small business man's family that shares the pain.

There should be some sort of double or treble damages for bad faith in instances like this.

Yes Ridge, let's call Uncle Vido! His methods are proven.

It's Vito and he's retired, for the next 3-5 years.

I thought Jim was our hired muscle for things like this?

In todays litigious society plus cell phones, it's hard to make an honest living.
People think screwing someone out of money is fun & games till the door bell rings. Then it's tears and urinating in their pants. Hypothetically, that is.

OP.....small claims court

Isn't worth the time.

I had to take a previous employer to court for back wages, and since he's a pro-con man, I didn't see a damn dime of the over $2500 he owed me.

Better yet, just leave this on their doorstep:

PM me a price.

Also I try like hell to get 50% down on jobs. Doesn't always happen that way. Tom Marino says that anyone wanting 50% down must be fly by night. I say I don't want to finance your fucking project, and 50% usually covers all materials if someone does try to screw you. I had to file a lien once and got paid right away. What a pain in the ass that was. Let me correct myself....my wife filed the papers. I'd have probably let it go...or broke some legs.

Also I know a GC that was once chased around a jobsite by Tom with cameras asking why he's shady bla bla. This ex felon contractor gave Tom small pile of cash and Tom now recommends this same GC

Little hard on a $300k job... Bank financed, so I will get paid just a process!

Hmm it sounds like a large construction problem. If there is a loan/bank, there is a document called a disburser's statement that you can send to the bank or owner and they have to disburse checks jointly.

at a minimum file the mechanics lien even if you never foreclose on it, though for the amounts you are mentioning it would be worth it.

My wife, mom and myself are interested in getting our CCW's.

Absolutely no money right now, but when it comes in, I will send you a PM.
