How can people live with themselves.

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..

oh, Kara, so sorry! that is beyond wrong!

SarahA · Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:42 pm

That's really rotten. Sorry that happened to you, Kara. Can you do anything to get stuff back from him?

scraptag · Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:44 pm

40 grand?! Are you taking legal action?

naney1952 · Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:48 pm

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.

Renee · Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:50 pm

Maybe if you threaten them with legal action??
Good luck! That really stinks!

dianagirly · Mon Sep 15, 2008 9:27 pm

O flip!! Goll... I am so sorry!
And to answer your question- I have no idea!!!

deerewife · Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:46 pm

I don't have an answer for you - but it is happening much too often.

MiasMommy · Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:54 pm

Wow, sorry. Cant you put a lean against the products you supplied?

hellmgle · Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:57 pm

I'm sure todays financial news won't help the situation at all....these are not good days

ArmyWife95 · Tue Sep 16, 2008 7:26 am

So Sorry Kara!! New Policy- No pay upfront, no delivery of supplies.

ArmyWife95 · Tue Sep 16, 2008 7:27 am

I just thought of something else...Can you repossess some of the stuff, so at least your not out the whole amount of money?

allysonc · Tue Sep 16, 2008 7:49 am

So sorry to hear that Kara. Some people just don't have any sense at all. How awful

And to fight in court to get it will be another fortune........

Tue Sep 16, 2008 10:20 am

That sucks.

grifscap · Tue Sep 16, 2008 10:30 am

Not sure how people live with some of the things they do.
I am sorry, hope you can get some of the money.

scrappininAK · Tue Sep 16, 2008 11:02 am

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

FurBaby_Mom · Tue Sep 16, 2008 11:11 am

I'm very cynical about the human race right now

TraciL · Tue Sep 16, 2008 12:16 pm

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!

SBcrazee · Tue Sep 16, 2008 12:32 pm

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