I did over $800 worth of work for a family, and the guy told me to just send him an invoice (which I realize was my first mistake, because since this, I modified my billing system so that I get 10% to get them scheduled, 50% of the balance when I show up, and 40% at the completion of the job.) Since then, I have sent two invoices, and called him three times. The last time I spoke with him, he told me he sent me a check through an electronic checking system. Well I got it, but today I got it back from my bank with "Insufficient funds" stamped on it! I was so pissed I wanted to go over to this guy's house and throttle him, but I cooled off and decided how I would handle this. I typed a letter which will be sent certified mail saying that the check was returned for insufficient funds, and this needed to be rectified immediately by sending a certified check or money order now. I said that if it wasn't taken care of immediately, then I would take legal action through a collection agency. Does this sound right, or would you handle this differently? This is the first time something like this has ever happened to me, and I WANT MY MONEY! Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
