Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
why do i do this?
Im a contractor working without a contract. Normally i wouldnt but this old guy from grease
Monkey is of the old school. Hes about 80 and still goes by a handshake and a mans word. They have
always paid in the past. Tab is now over 10 grand and i need my money. Took pics all through the construction
But shit what if he dies? I get scared when people owe me money.
Ask for a deposit to cover materials so far. Most people will agree to this.
I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
What are you building? You can put a lien on the property and they won't be able to sell it till all the liens are taken care of.
I know the feeling.
I delivered a car on good faith. He just wanted it for a few weeks and we weren't done with it either. Was scheduled to be back to finish for my open house.
Needless to say, I never saw it again. Took 13 months to collect $5k of the $8k he decided he didn't owe me.

It's funny how people's perspective changes over time. Burn me once and you'll wish you didn't.

Put a lien on it and stop work until you get some dough.
In God We trust
All others pay CASH.

Explain to him gently that your creditors have to be paid promptly. Do it face to face, and have the documentation with you. I'm sure he will cut you a check!
+1 If he's old school he'll understand. You've done enough work to get a draw on it. Usually these situations feel worse than they really are. Be upfront and confidant and you should get paid. It's not a problem until they refuse without good reason. When they start playing games it usually means they don't have the money and it's time to quit throwing good money at bad.Originally Posted by BushMasterBoy
To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.
Just in case he dies or forgets, bring someone with you to a meeting and record it.
