Hi All,

 What about the situation with a complete action rebuild? 90% of the =
action is yours if you bought the parts with your money, but I doubt the =
courts would look at it that way.

  Joe,
  =20
  In both of these situations I think you should consider yourself lucky =
that the client didn't have you arrested. While I totally agree that you =
were within your rights, the law tends to look at these things =
differently. The property was not yours to take. I know (from =
experience) that not being paid for your labor feels just like theft, =
your response to your clients was no better than their inaction to pay =
you.There are other avenues for collecting accounts receivable that =
probably should have been investigated first.

    Ok... I'm reluctant to share this story as you may think me immature =
but I=20
    will do it anyway.=20

    I've had 2 problems with people that wouldn't pay.  One was a church =
and the=20
    second a nightclub.=20

    For the church, after the work was completed, they refused to return =
my calls=20
    and letters.  I paid them a visit one afternoon and removed the =
middle two=20
    octaves of keys from the keyboard.  The pastor called me... needless =
to say=20
    he was irate.  Unfortunately this went nowhere. I still have the =
keys in my=20
    shop, but it is a fun story to tell.=20

    The second one was more productive.  In the same fashion, I did a =
tuning for=20
    a local night club.  After  2 months of waiting for payments and =
repeatedly=20
    hearing "the check is in the mail" I paid them a visit and removed =
their=20
    entire action from the piano.  Two days later I received a frantic =
call that=20
    the piano wasn't working.  I informed them why.  I informed them =
that they=20
    could either come pick the action up from my shop or I could return =
it for an=20
    additional $60 service charge.  We compromised on a $45 service =
charge, but=20
    they got their action back and I got paid.=20

    Again, these probably demonstrate my horrible immaturity, but when =
they so=20
    blatantly lie to me and refuse to cooperate a little "retribution" =
is in=20
    order.=20
