Legal Question in Business Law in California
Hi
I'm a freight forwarder in CA, I have one customer with an open invoice of $4500 past due for almost 60 day. The invoice consists of payments our company has advanced to US customs, overseas freight charges, warehouse and trucking company. Even though he replied in email that the balance would be taken care within a week, the check has never been sent out and right now he is not answering calls nor replying emails. I did sent him an email requseting him to settle the balance by the end of this month.
My questions is, with this amount,should I file a claim at small claim court or do I have any other options?

You have little leverage until the matter is brought to court. Sometimes filing a lawsuit gets the other party's attention. Other times, enforcement of a judgment will get the results you seek.
The only other option besides small claims would be to turn it over to a collection agency.
