I have already used levelest to assist in filing an intent to lien against a business in MO that hasn't paid for services that were completed. The business owner stated to me that she had no intent to ever pay even though she knew the money was owed because it would cost me more to sue her for those funds then I would ever recoup. This seems to be a growing practice for many and frustrating for businesses such as mine. I have contacted many attorneys in my area and can't seem to find one to take the case due to the collection amount being 2600.00 + late fees. How can I collect these funds? If I follow thru with the mechanics lien then I won't be able to keep the mechanics lien valid without enforcing it and no attorney that will do so due to the amount owed? How do we stop this cycle that trying to collect debts is more costly then its worth so most just write if off as a loss, thus the reason small businesses continue to suffer? Thank you from a small business owner looking for any help or positive advise that can get results. Jessica Smith
