The customer gave us a $500 deposit, the job is almost finished finished ( he won't respond so we can finish installing his back-up machine that he had us ordered) and he now owes us $1900 and is ignoring our requests for payment or to finish . . We are a very small business and do business on a pay when the job is finished basically COD. It is now over 30 days and he is ignoring us. What can we do besides small claims court? Is this criminal? He has over $1200 worth of computers and networking equipment that is ours that is installed at his business, which is NOT paid for! merchandise
It is not criminal. You must do small claims. Why would you not do it. It is cheap and the only way to get paid. You will have less credibility if you wait to sue.
