Who has had to go through the process?
I have an invoice that's been unpaid for >6 months. The responsible party will not respond to emails, texts, voicemails or facebook messenger, and I've sent the invoice at least four times to all available communication means. I don't have his home address, but am working on it and my next step is to send a letter, and invoice via certified mail to his home address. The last time he responded was a week after the event (when he answered his phone, and sounded more than willing to pay).
Kicker is he is a lawyer, and his family owns one of the larger plantations on the coast so I know it's not a case of not having the funds to pay. I believe he is intentionally not responding, and trying to pull some BS, so I want to make sure I have my bases covered before I take it to the Magistrate. It's only 1k, so retaining a lawyer isn't practical (unless the magistrate can force them to pay fees?).
Any thought on steps to take?
