Sounds to me yawl are passing threats back and forth. "Cost you more money" " Give me back my money" Problem is, they ain't got your money anymore, so there's nothing, out of court to get. Their threat of costing more money is baseless, and typical, It's their opinion, and why how they operate this way, presuming there's nothing you can do.. It's a typical B.S. threat..
However, whether you realized it or not, it was a point of negotiation.. What is going to cost you is the anguish and lost time of the whole affair. Plus, actually getting your money back? There's a tough one... They are probably working under the table and will continue to, so while you could get a judgment against them, What's small claims around here? $5,000?, hopefully, I don't know, but small claims is the easiest, cheapest and quickest route.. Either way, collecting is far more complicated then the "law" makes it appear..
That's your problem in a nut shell..
So, what can you do.. Personally, I'd tell em, Oh, you like lean my property bro? GO FOR IT!!! Cause i gonna make your life hell. You gonna see the inside of jail, i gonna tell hundreds of people about you, get judgment and garnish every thing you own, Bro... You pay taxes, brudda?? I like find out,, O.K.?? So, yeah you get lien on me.. I like see, (keeping in mind, that this lien could turn into your evidence) Could, O.K. nothing for sure, but filed paper, cost them a bunch of money too, I forgot the details but a local fellow was explaining it to me and it's no peace of cake.. This is just food for thought. if you use this against them, be prepared to go the distance, otherwise, just try and keep these things in your mind while negotiating.. The ball is in your court and it all depends on how you serve..
The best thing to do, if it's possible is, get them to come back to work. Find some type of compromise. Get witnesses in negotiations, see if you can enlist any locals who'll hang around and listen, attempt to step in during negotiations, talk pigeon, speak to em in their own language..
No matter what you may or may not be able to do to them, your shortest route to your home (roof over your head) is finding a way to get them to work.. Otherwise, I hope for your sake, you've got enough funds, are a good shopper, and can pay somebody else to get to your goal. because win or lose, you ain't gonna be spending the cash you gave them for some time, if at all..
Quite a few years ago, I got taken by this girl in NY in an online auction.. Lucky for me she got greedy and started selling Harleys and diamond rings.. Because it was not until she went past the magic number, where the feds stepped in, back then, 20k.. She only got me for $200. the feds send me a check, from her divisions of returned monies, she was ordered to pay back.. I get a check every year, 'Like' 8 bucks.. Oh boy!.. 8 bucks a year buys me a lot, don't it, ha.. But that's a federal thing.. civil? Ha ha ha I've got plenty judgments from having been a landlord, back in Misery, (no ocean), When i run into somebody who owes me? I try small almost subliminal attempts to get em to volunteer where they live, work.. Never hate somebody who's ripped you off, always keep your enemies close, ha.. guess how many judgments i've collected?? 1, and that was ONLY because when this fellows company was served, to garnish his wages, the server gave it to the fellow I had a judgment against.. he just tossed it in the trash. The company became liable, and even though they fired him a week or two later? They were served.. Got my 2-300 bucks. otherwise, i only got judgments for tax write offs, and conscience (tax wasn't even worth it). moreover, I wouldn't bother because it's a waist of money and effort, unless! yaw really pissed me off, Only cost me 50 bucks in small clams court, for satisfaction of winning my issue.. For the next 5-7 years, canÂft remember at the moment how long the judgment is good for, whoever it was, didn't walk down my street. once judgment expired, if i bumped into em.. i'd tell em it's over, chat, be friendly whatever,, Providing they behaved themselves.. Otherwise, if they give me stink eye, whatever, just lets me know they still feeling guilty, Ha, In my never so humble opinion, guilt is harder to live with than money..
