Recently, a customer (who is a member here) paid for my services with a check drawn on his girlfriend's account. Since she was present, I didn't really think anything of it. The check has now been returned twice for non-sufficient funds, and the customer refuses to make it right (now claiming that over two weeks later, he is unhappy with my work....).
So I contacted the County Attorney's Bad check program yesterday, and was informed that since the girlfriend didn't receive any goods, products, or services from me, that they will not prosecute the matter, and I would need to sue.
Gotta love the law....Designed to protect the criminals!:mad: :mad: :mad:
I am going to leave the person un-named, since legal action is pending, and I don't want to start an online pissing match.....

I wish you would make the name public, so we could humiliate and shame him into paying up.

That sucks...gotta love the fact that there are POS members of our community:mad: As soon as the legal stuff is over it would be nice if you dropped a name so the rest of us know who to avoid when it comes to doing any sort of business transaction. ;)

I work at a small shop in TN and was unaware of a loophole like that but will look into that. We do alot of work for the military and they always have their buddy or girlfriend come pick up there stuff.

If this person is anyhting like Squirtin Thunder he wont pay.....and the guy has no shame to begin with. But its at least good to let future victims know about it.

I was unaware fo the loophole...but I do remember when I was doing stereos if a customer came in ad someone else was paying I would always rewrite the invoice to reflect the name of the person paying. I still think its wrong though.

What did he claim was wrong with the work? :confused: (Two weeks later?)
Can you potentially put a lien hold on his boat?

I use a check gaurentee company.....so if a check bounces they will pay it and the company goes and attempts to collect from the check writer...costs about the same as a credit card fee. Has saved my butt a few times.
So many dishonest people with lame excuses.

Someone told me to always have the person that signs the check/credit card slip also sign a bill of lading. I guess this the reason why. I'll have to tighten up on that myself.

You just need them to sign a packing list(every order you sell should have one) detailing the items sold. Thats your proof of delivery-especially for pickup orders. Without it I could dispute your charge and you'd be left holding the bag...

I understand the "20 grit hand job" feeling, but I really don't want to divulge their names until the proceedings are concluded. I will say that the boat was a DCB F26, and the person that I have been dealing with is not the owner of the boat. He is simply a middle man that takes care of the boat for the owner. I have spoken with the owner and he does not feel any liability to me, since he did not contract with me for the work, and he already paid the middle man for the work I completed as well as more work that was scheduled, but I chose to postpone after the check went bad the first time.
I can assure you that the names of these people will be disclosed after the case is disposed. I just don't want to open myself up to the possibility of a slander or libel suit.

Get the "F" outta here!! This guys middle man f's you right in the ass, and he feels he has no liabillity to you? He needs to get you paid and rectify the situation with his guy! Not let you take it in the shorts over this deal..
What a focking jack ass!
This guys reputation will be the very defition of scumbag when his name finally does come to light. If he was smart he'd get his ass over there, and I mean right now to atleast try to work something out with you. Starting with an apollogy with regards to his choice of people to handle these sort of things?

Having delt with this in the past, the little that is said out side of the court room the better. Making statements online can come back and bite you in the ass.
Just get your ducks in a row and go after him, and the owner of the boat.( since he is still liable of the bill...) my guess is that with in a day or 2 of your serving the owner you have your money.

Uhh... I'm going to go ahead and change that quite a bit.
You failed to mention that this was one business subcontracting to another, and that he was unhappy with the quality of work (4 - 5 times?). This story leads one to believe you did a repair, he picked it up, and then just never paid you.
As the other story reads, I don't think the owner of the boat does have anything to do with this? Other then just wishing he'd never gotten involved with any of it.

Ducky has lost my respect and any future business just by coming on these boards to air his laundry. This is a small community, and this should be dealt with in private and like two grown business men. Ducky should have never come on these boards with this problem and screw with another mans living. Sometimes things go wrong and you work them out so they are transparent to the customer and everyone else. But you dont Call OUT a fellow business man in a forum like this to settle your shiat:mad: And for the record, Im with the other guy, Ducky do your business right the first time or as many times as it takes to get it right for self and your business and for your sub but most of all the customer. Im a business owner myself and if i do a job for you it gets done right or I will pay to have done right! Thats how you keep your customers and your name out of the forums!!

Maybe you should read the beginning of the post. I never intended for this to turn into a pissing match, or an attempt to damage anyone's reputation and screw with their living. I never even mentioned his name, or the name of his business. I was just venting about learning that I am unable to prosecute on the NSF check due to circumstances at hand, and didn't come here to settle anything. The job was done correctly, paid for and picked up. I was, am and will be fully willing to repair any quality concerns, as long as the payment is made good, even though my work has now been vandalized for the sake of turning people like you against me. Please get your facts straight before attacking me in the future. Thanks!

I still thnk there is more to the story.... I mean if the guy having his G/F write the check was a legit business owner, why wouldnt he have used a Business check (unless he was planning some sort of foul play)? It still seems VERY strange that he would go through that route to pay for a business transaction. Im going to go out on a limb and say that PS was out to screw someone;) Whats really sad is that it was for $400:rolleyes:

Better take a look at the other thread.. My pics do not lie. If It was your boat how would you feel if I tried to deliver it to you? Why would I have a NSF check or Jen so I can pay someone else? Think about it. This mans boat has to be on the water on Thursday Memorial weekend with Mecanical and cosmetic service. Why would I stop progress and have a NSF check to pay someone else. $four hundred bucks is a drop in the bucket on a $100,000+ boat I have Integrity no matter what the cost Scott is going to learn this. I was scotts customer not the boat owner. Scott can go through the holiday wanting $ 400.00 but he didn't earn it. Like I say My customer comes first reguardless how anyone feels about me.
