Update Your Profile
If a contractor did not perform the work for which you paid him, you have 2 options:
1) report him to the PA Attorney General Bureau of Consumer Protection, https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/submit-a-complaint/consumer-complaint/;
and 2) sue him in magisterial district court which has a $12,000.00 jurisdictional limit.
Please note that neither option assures prompt payment. To the contrary, it may still be months or even years before you are repaid, if at all.
I trust this answers your questions, but you are welcome to call or email me on a free initial basis.
