    Need help/advice

    There's a guy that owes me $1,600. He is ignoring me completely. I dont know what to do. There are a few problems
    A) I can not get physical with the situation
    B) He'd kill me
    C) He is ignoring my calls/txt's and everything.
    So... anyone have any ideas? It's driving me insane i need the cash



    And just to get it out of the way....I painted his house.

    threat him with a civil suit...
    inform him that he will be responcible for court costs also due to his lack of payment to you.

    send him a certified demand letter. Demand payment but such a date or court papers will be filed.

    Anything in Michigan under $3,500 is 'small claims court'. You file in the district he resides in. If money is owed in a business name, file in the district of the business. No lawyers are needed and no third parties are needed. He would have 21 days to respond before you go to court.

    It's quite easy and is going on all day.

    Good luck.

    Ok, you know where he lives...wait outside his house until he comes home then ask him for the payment....maybe he is waiting on some money himself and just doesn't want to bullshit you, making excuses until he has the money...ask for partial payment or weekly payments

    legal action would be the smartest way to go but if all else fails scrape the paint off put brake fluid on his car then have taiboxa smash him

    seriously though if legal action dont work get some of your friends from the gym and let them take care of it. This punk ass bitch needs to learn a lesson and not one that can be taught in court.

    go to city hall a file for a meachincs lean on his home, is your contract verbale or written. I am a contractor,before you to go to court you have to for warn him on your actions its called 'notice to owner', this usally scares someone to pay you because if u lien his property he cant do shit with it till he pays you first, or has he had other work done that would require permits, like windows replaced or a bathroom remodeled lately is so call city code and report him its a 4500 dollar fine for getting caught doing a bathroom with no permit, better yet cut his water main with a saw zall it will tae 2 seconds

    next time he's away for the weekend or whatever. round up some homeless people, pay them and tell them that you will supply them with beer / food etc for as long as they squat.

    the small claims court thing sounds to be the most effective idea

    If reason fails, then about the only thing that comes to mind is intimidation. If that's not practical, then let him know you'll spread the word that he's a deadbeat. If that doesn't work, well, I think you're out of luck . . .

    I think that will be a good idea, I know alot of people he knows because he goes to my gym...and if I explain to the gym how much of a deadbeat he is...they will take my side of things.

    Confront him at the gym next time you see him. And NEVER do business without money up front, you will get screwed.

    Next time you "paint" someone's house take at least half down and half on completion. A better option is full payment in advance. If they really want the job done paying in advance shows their serious. That's how I used to handle freelance work. The ones that do not want to pay in advance are full of shit and trying to get over.

    You could always have (the topic we can't talk about) mailed to his house and cut a hole in the package so the postal service and cops will see it. Hmm... what's this white stuff?

    I know a guy who got scammed and he did this to the scammer. The scammer lived in Texas and he had a large amount of poorly packed ******* sent internationally to Texas. The pack of course got snagged by customs and LE showed up at his house.
