How many of you have ever had to have a customer served for payment? And what type of steps have you taken to get paid, besides showing up and beating payment out of them.
I have taken 2 companies to court in over 16 yr's of buisness, which is not bad. I hate to ruin a relationship with a company we do buisness with for years and then all of a sudden they start falling way behind on payment. These are different times and you never know if these companies are going to be around next year or next week and your out the money.
Having them served by the sheriffs dept usually works pretty good after you have called many times and got the run around. One time we went to small claims court and got paid, but I dont get why they would want to take it that far when they got to know their going to lose? This post is only directed to commercial work but I am sure some had to take a residential customer to court as well.
What have some of you Guy's & Gal's done to get your invoice paid without having to resort to threats or worse.
