[quote]I attempted to call both phone numbers I have in our system for you, but was unable to get a hold of you and your voicemail was not setup.

The owner sent me a message after I forwarded your email to him and has asked me to find out if you accept any credit cards for payment, and if so which ones.

[quote] I can and will take care of the Payment. I apologize these past couple months have been a little crazy. Our bank was acquired and our account was compromised during the transition. I also had an emergency appendectomy 10 days ago and have been out of the office since. I plan on being in the office Friday and will cut your check. Very sorry for the hold up and I greatly appreciate your patience and work that you have done for us. /quote]

[quote]I gave Ross my credit card this morning to pay you. I did not get his message until late last night. I will have him call you ASAP
/quote] No phone call came

[quote]This is my fault. I can not apologize enough, Merritt. I just reread they previous emails saw you don’t take cc. I am willing to do whatever is necessary to get you paid today. I would be happy to pay via pay pal, Zelle, chase quick pay. Do you think any of these would work for you?

My response
[quote]I just checked with my bank and they can do a bank to bank transfer. You would need to have your bank call me and I will give them info to wire money. 207 225-5115/quote]

[quote]I am paying I promise. Just got a little thrown off with switching banks. I am still waiting for checks to arrive but will go to the bank today and get a temp check to send you. I will let you know as soon as I send today.

Sent 2 day notice this morning if no payment by Wednesday Notice of liens get sent.

Enough is enough!

I got paid.....finally got a check by overnight Fed Ex that cost $47 to send. He could have saved that if it was paid on time.

Just be glad it wasn't C.O.D.

I firmly believe that some clients think that if they jerk you around enough that you'll just write it off. Been to small claims courts so often, I'm practically on a 1st name basis....

I have been lucky over the years in 33 years of business this would have been the second time of not getting paid. The first one died shortly after I did the job so I never tried to collect.

My old boss would try filing mechanics liens on them. Makes the end user really nervous when they get that notification.
