Coincidently, I was going under several beds yesterday with my RoyalI own one Royal and two Kirbys
OuchWe never did collect a thing on this job.
Screw that, he'd pay one way or another.
AgreedWhile not easy to do meg, but it is the much healthier road or path to take.
That's not how it works.Use the invoice to actually write it off...take it as a loss at tax time.
Total job cost is write off but obviously always check with your Accountant. I am passing along something we have done in the past... We meaning our Accountant.That's not how it works.
You can write off what you paid to do the job.

Just put a lien on his house. You will get your money one way or the other.Karma....It wasn't worth it for me to go through the hassle to make him pay. Filing court paperwork, going to court, and maybe collecting. I can make more money than we lost if I focus my efforts in the time I'd spend chasing him. Many people know that it's not worth if for a certain sum, and that's why they get away with it.
We wrote it off. I have no doubt it will find it's way back to him in some aspect of his life.
I'm sorry for harassing you on this, but your comment on "he will get his", I feel is wrong. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. That's a true statement. If this dude's a rich asshole, he's not gonna see anything bite him back on this, unless you harass that douchebag. Just keep referring back to your original text message with him and present that to the lawyer and courthouse.I've been don this for 10 years now and I think this is only the 3rd time we have had someone not pay. It rarely happens.
I know that is a chunk of change, but we so well and if I can put my efforts into marketing to our high end demographic in the time it would take for me to go after him I can double or triple that amount. That being said, the statuet of limitations for this is 2 years. I could still do something about t.
And the more I engage in it and spend time on it the angrier/annoyed I get. It's not worth it. He will get his.
And in the same vein, we get ours. Wonderful, often unexpected things and kindness happen to me and my family. It's no coincidence. I'd like to keep it that way.
And just "believe" that he needs it more than I do and we are fortunate enough that we can afford him to have it.
Thank you, @Matt Wood I appreciate your perspective. It's so nice to know the "family" has my back. But, I'm not bothered by this and am letting it go. That's how we are choosing to deal with it. I'm good with that, and since it's my problem, you should be too. People like him don't deserve my time, attention and space in my brain!
Since it rarely happens, I can justify the "cost" of this if I average it out over the years....I know it may not make sense to you, but it does for us.
That's not how it works.
