Hi Larry
From the replies so far, it seems we have all been taken at one time or
another. If your in business, of just about any kind, for any length of time,
you have to deal with people who take advantage of you if they can. As you can
see there is no" one way" to deal with your situation. I have usually written
it off the few I have had in 25 years, as a bad debt. Reason being that most of
the other effective alternatives,are more costly in the long run. If you have
the time and the inclination, and you use a work invoice that has a repairman's
lien clause in it, and if you have a law enforcement agency that is willing to
help,you can can take possession of the equipment till the bill is satisfied.
However this may not prove to be profitable in the long run either. One other
thing if you don't get a diagnostic fee up front, you might want to start. At
least you have some thing for your effort.

i had an experience i didnt know how to solve.
i repaired a tv, customer picked up and paid 75 with check.
10 days later i get a letter from my bank saying they withdrew
the 75 from my account because the check was stop payment.
i called the customer and would always be told the man wasnt home,
finally i did talk to him a week later.
he said he stooped payment because he didnt think it was good
enough picture.
i said why didnt you call me , or bring it back , so i could
make it right.
at least let me have my parts back.
he said no.
and that i should take him to court for the 75 if i like. and
hung up.
i contacted my attorney, who said forget it , you been screwed.
the set probably works fine and he knows you cant afford to
sue him.
and since then i found that he could have also stooped payment
on a credit card if he had used one.
are there any answers to this type of problem???
