Been in business for 5+ years now and I have only had one payment problem, a client wrote me a bad check. Got that one replaced easy with a phone call. I guess it was simply a matter of time before I ran into a real problem.
Had a customer call and order a Jager Pro trap. He wanted it delivered and setup in Choctaw County. I did so on May 26. He said he would mail me the check on May 29 when he gets back in his office. He calls me a few days later with some personal tax problem issue and says he needs for me to come get the trap.
How should I handle this problem?

First, go get your trap, now.
Second, You can sue him for breach of contract. Suing him is the easy part, collecting the judgment can sometimes be difficult. As long as he is employed you can garnish his wages and get up to 25% of his disposable income per pay period. However, if he is judgment proof then you are pi$$ing up a rope trying to collect anything. Go get your trap.

Better go and get the trap ASAP. At least he is telling you he doesn't have the money and not stringing you on for several months or longer. The time you have invested in delivering and picking up the trap will be much cheaper than getting lawyers and the courts involved. He hasn't had the trap but a couple of weeks. I have always been a handshake and take a a man at his word kinda guy. Sometimes I have gotten burned and lost some money. But I haven't been burned bad enough for me to change my principals and change the way I do business. I would go get the trap, send him a bill for your time and services and tell him he can pay in increments. Maybe you will get something. Good Luck. This would be a good way to handle the situation. Once lawyers get involved the fees add up fast. Reclaim your material cost and try to sell the trap to someone else. Yes you will be out your time and labor but that happens. As said above, at least the guy didn't try string you along and lie to you about not being able to pay, and is giving you the opportunity to retrieve your material.

Go get the trap, and physically hand him an invoice for the labor to pick it up if you can. Unless you're out more than $750.00 in labor, I would just be happy I got the trap back. Yep. You've got to have an expensive debt to justify a lawyer. Sad but true.

Get your trap asap and cut your losses.Not worth getting an attorney over except for the principal of it. I would invoice for labor and pray.
You haven't been blocked until you've been flock blocked!!!

When I can get a free hour, I am making BFred a shirt (wife has a shirt press maker thingy) that reads "WHASB"
