Chas:
OK. In all the years I have been doing this, I have never had this problem, but I sure do now. And if any of you can help with advice - especially if you have experience - please do so.

I have a customer who put $3000 down on a spa last year. The total was $8400 for the tub and some patio stuff.

My delivery crew delivered/set up, and then asked for the check. He told them he had set up something with us to bring in a check the following day, and they accepted that and left. (Haven't run into that many liers when it comes to us delivering something like this to a home...)

That's the last dime we have seen out of him. He keeps promising and promising, but does nothing.

I want to go repossess the tub, but I want to do it all legally of course. Don't want to take back the tub and end up getting sued by this creep.

He has told us he is trying to get a refinance - but that is the song he has sung for a year now. That's the reason I haven't turned it in to Transunion or Equifax - I didn't want it to slow down the refinance.

But now???
Suggestions?

If he hasn't paid you by now, he has no intention of paying you.  It's probably worth an hour of an attorney's time, which I would add on to his bill.  I wouldn't go out and play Texas cowboy on your own, unless you know a lot more about that than I do....

Hey Chas...

I think you are going to have a hard time collecting....what is the time frame statute to legaly go after him....if it has passed I would simply go and pick up the spa......
