We are a GC who was requested to leave project prior to completion. We left site and sent final invoice for work completed. We received a bogus reply with a multitude of reasons why they now say we owe them money. I want to move toward legal action before it is to late.
GC with outstand balance owed and owner has chosen not to pay and make up fictious reason why not to pay.
Project in Philadelphia, the next steps?
Joseph, Although we have an excellent attorney in Philly to file suit, I would recommend you place the debt owed with a certified licensed and bonded collection agency to get to the bottom of the dispute to see if the account can be resolved prior to suit. During the collection phase it can also be determined if an countersuit is likey. If the debt can be collected your problem is over and this can be done on a contingency fee bases so you are not paying anything up front for the collection. Feel free to contact me srauch@rauchmilliken.com for futher details on the collection. Best regards, Steve
