Hi Linda, The last time I had trouble collecting, it was from a lawyer; and was just for a tuning, Piano was ancient, and under a lot of glass, high ceiling, poor environment, they had used everyone in town same story from the other tuners. I had to go back right away to touch it up. Anyway after several months of sending monthly statements, I went to the court house picked up the forms (or did it on line). Filled out the forms and mailed a copy of the filled out forms to the lawyer with a letter of my intentions and how much he still owed and dropped it at his office. The next day I was told to; come pick up a check. But I had to sign saying I wouldn't take him to small claims. I wrote a note with my signature saying that I accepted provided his payment was good. I got paid. I didn't have to pay to file a claim. The other time was more money the couple had marital problems. They split up after I filed the claim and I was able to put a lean on the house. I was lucky to know someone who knew the buyer of the house. Called the buyer to tell them about the lean and received a cheque from the sale of the house. This took about a year and a half. Lucky both times I guess. Jessica Masse RPT -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
