What can I do to get paid for damages?

TexasPayment Disputes

AT&T hired CableTex to drill a cable under our property & damaged our plumbing. The cost was $3,488 & CableTex agreed to pay by April 27, 2021. Now they say it will be two more weeks. What can I do? Feel like they are stalling & won't pay. The damage was done March 26 & the plumber has been paid. Thanks, Curtis Robert cdrobert2002@yahoo.com 713-417-1585 cell

You should consider preparing a letter to mail by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the contractor and AT&T to set out the facts and to demand the relief that you want. Attach to the letter the invoice, and photographs of the repair work (or the freshly dug up areas where the repair work occurred). Make sure that your letter is professional and business like as it may be evidence later.  

If the contractor or AT&T does not respond or respond satisfactorily, you should consider filing suit in small claims court, using the letter as evidence.

Good luck.
