What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD
My company has a client who was contracted for an event in Nov and was supposed to pay in full prior to the event. They paid a deposit of $5000 prior to the event, but did not pay the balance. After the event, the check was returned as "Refer to Maker". The funds were confirmed as insufficient by the bank. The matter was turned over to collections but nothing has been recovered. We have been advised to seek legal action, at a cost! The total due is about $8500, including the $5000 returned check. Can anyone recommend any alternatives that we could perhaps take on internally?
thank you!
