Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

collection of fees for services rendered

Independent contracting services done for another company in several locations within a 4 month period. (aug 25th 2001 - nov 28th 2001) A contract was signed stating net 25 days for payment of invoices for services rendered, an invoice was sent to the company after every job site was completed. approx invoicing (8) and two final notices. Of the total invoice amount $8,000.00 they paid $1,000.00 on 11/20/01 another check for $930.00 did not clear there account and was returned twice on my acount. I re-billed the company a final notice on 01/16/02 for all totals including the bank fees for the NSF. They state ''we are waiting to get paid from our venders so we can pay you''!!! I do understand that I can go to small claims court....... What else can I do??? What are my rights?

Thanks...

Re: collection of fees for services rendered

My office concentrates in the collection of bad debts. Before going to court you may want to consider utilizing my firm. All work is done on a contingency fee which means I only get paid if you get paid. Should you like to discuss the matter please contact me via phone or e-mail. All fees on commercial cases are 20% of the amount collected.

Re: collection of fees for services rendered

You only have 2 options- wait to see if you get paid, of file a lawsuit. There's really no reason to wait at this point. However, you should consult an attorney to get advise on whether to use small claims court or the regular trial court. Good luck!!
