Want one better?
Title Company named after this country slowly builds an outstanding balance to over 11K, we start to hammer a them to pay up.
To complicate this, they no longer order from us because their parent company now owns a Land Surveying company that subcontracts out the work to local surveyors. We are a subcontractor.
We are told by the branch manager to drop it, or they will make sure the Surveying company stops using us. This surveying company is one of our largest customers right now with the market the way it is. We cannot afford to loose them right now.
So I have to eat 11K in past due bills. You may ask how I let them get in so deep, this is 1 months of invoices for 1 office. It was easy for them to run up a balance like this.
How is that for a scam and blackmail all tied up in one?
I also had a builder go belly up and leave me holding another 10K in unpaid invoices. We cut them off when they fell behind and they continued their projects with another surveyor. Now we are putting liens on all their customers houses.
I can go on and on... There is easily over 50K out there right now owed to me with current customers that choose to wait 3-4 months to pay. Hammer at them and loose them and I cannot afford to loose any of them right now.
