And I do not think it is the economy. I had a customer just out and out lie to me about putting a check in the mail. I paid my guys time and a half to get a job out the door that he knew he couldn't or wouldn't pay for...
What makes people think they have that right? And now we are out 40 grand????? I mean really....... why do people purchase things they cannot pay for. It is not like it is food or something..

WOW! That sucks! I hope you can take some kind of action against him! In this economy things are bad enough without stuff like that to deal with.

I am sorry, hope you can get some of the money.

So sorry - hope you can get your owed money. It seems like nowadays people just take what they want regardless of whether they can actually afford it

Give him 1 more chance and tell him if you don't have it in hand by x time then you are taking out an ad in a local paper about his service, reporting him to the BBB and taking him to small claims court (if $40K is small claims?) -
and pray girl pray!

I'd take legal action if he does not pay heed to your last warning. That is just not right.
