What to Do When You’re Owed Money and a Person Refuses to Pay You

You deserve compensation for following through with your end of the bargain. As a business, you know what it’s like to try to collect unpaid invoices and fees for broken contracts.

If your request for payment remains unanswered, it’s time to step things up and take legal action against the individual or business owing you money.

Before you contact us with your request, however, it’s best to take the following steps to ensure that you’ve done everything you can to get the debtor to pay. If they think that you’re planning to pursue legal action against them, they may make a last-ditch effort to pay you to avoid a lawsuit. Here’s what you need to do if a debtor owes you money but refuses to pay you: Write a final letter detailing the debt. Include the current amount owed with late fees and how it continues to incur interest at a rate of 10 percent per year. Note that you’ll use all reasonable means to collect the debt, including wage garnishment and liens on real property, according to California law.If the debtor reaches out, help them find ways to pay the debt.

Is Small Claims Mediation Right for Me?

Posted on Feb 10, 2020

If you are considering filing a case against someone, you might be curious if small claims mediation is right for you. Small claims mediation is most useful when the dispute is with someone you know or you want to keep a positive ongoing relationship with. Small claims mediation is low cost and sometimes free, which makes it an ideal option for those who wish to resolve disputes amicably.  Taking part in an angry or bitter case before a judge is often damaging to relationships. Individuals who want to maintain a positive relationship get the most out of small claims mediation because they can have a discussion about the issues while sharing their frustrations in a way that may not be allowed in a court setting. Mediation can be beneficial even for those who are not concerned about necessarily maintaining a close relationship. A successful mediation also reduces the chance that a case will be lost. Additionally, you can keep control of the whole process in mediation; whereas in court, the judge has control. Mediation also offers an immediate resolution and the other party is typically more likely to hold up their end of the deal or payment requirement. When someone loses in court, they often drag their feet when it comes to paying or they fail to out of anger.  Small claims court mediation may not be for everyone. If you just want what you are asking for (no more or no less, no matter the reason), or if you just want the opposing party to suffer in a court case before a judge, then mediation is likely not worth your time. Consider what outcome you want to see from a case before you make the decision to...
