I understand you are upset and rightfully so, but I don't think showing up at someone's doorstep is the best way to resolve this issue.

I would recommend you get in contact with him, schedule to meet at a mutually agreed upon location and come to a resolution without causing yourself more problems.

I'm just trying to play arbitrator here. I know I wouldn't respond very well if someone showed up on my doorstep angry, especially if it were my wife answering the door. Seperate the business event from the person, and don't get his family involved and you will have a better chance at a favorable resolution.

That's up to him. I know he'll get the word. But I ain't calling him again. Been there, done that. If he want's to keep hiding then he's gonna get a knock on the door, just like a bill collector would do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to end my career for an assault charge but I am going to get my money.

Spoken like a true JPR supporter.

Sometimes the direct approach works best, it has more impact on a person when you show up on their door step, then when you just ring the phone.

Amen!!

Enough time has passed for him to make good on the money owed.

When the time comes for you to knock on his door Bravo, let us know I'm quite certain their are a few of us who will go down there with you (to lend moral support) and make sure things don't get out of hand.

Yeah, that's my point. I seriously doubt he has any customers he ripped off that live in his area, cause he knows he would have to face them. If anything, the last time I spoke with him he said my heads were at his house. So, since he didn't want to ship them to me I guess I'll have to pick them up in person

Whatever.... this isn't the wild west anymore. The fact is that this is a business problem that needs to get worked out in a legal professional manner. Going to knock on his door and demanding retribution is going to get you a tresspassing summons and not much more.

If you guys want resolution, do it in a legal manner. The company that you paid money to is the one who owes you money. If you paid using a credit card, go through them to dispute the charges or use the better business bureau. But acting like if you threaten a person it will resolve this is a path that isn't going to go anywhere.

Get your ducks in a row, collect receipts, cashed checkes, bank statements and pursue it legally. If you contract someone to do work for you in your home and it isn't what you deem acceptable, then you don't go to their house demanding 'what's owed to you'. If you didn't pay with anything traceable, then you may not have any leg to stand on and that's the risk you take when you get the 'cash discount'.

Now if that makes me sound like a "true JPR supporter" than your statements make you sound like a 3rd grader with no concept of how to do business and you never realized how to manage your own personal finances.

I've been burned before and learned from my mistakes and take the appropriate actions now to avoid that from happening. Sometimes the most important lessons in life are the most difficult to handle and hurt the most.

Knocking on a man's door to ask him what's up with my money is not the wild west and will not get me a tresspassing summons. I don't threaten anyone. If I want to beat someones *** I'm not going to run my mouth and say it, I'll just start swinging. And since I already posted that I'm not trying to get an assault charge, that should tell you I am not wanting to go to his house to "threaten" him. He is the company that took my check out of his mailbox and cashed it and spent it on something other than what I gave him the check for. So he is the company that owes me money lol

I had a similar problem once. $1,000. The guy said he would pay up, but was conveniently out of the office every time I called, and his secretary knew nothing about it. I finally got mad and told her, That's Ok, I got his home phone # and address out of the phone book. "I'll try him there later. He called back 5 min later and asked Where I wanted the check mailled. I told him I would come and pick it up. I got my $.

Oh, I'm one of the original screwees. He got my money 2 1/2 years ago. I'm sure he believes he will never hear from me again. I would like to know what he thinks when he finds out I will be living literally minutes from him
