Store Closed

[mkupitz]

I lived in Minnesota and was moving to Florida on 08-11-05 put my nearly new furniture , in a consignment store. It sold quickly and was told they would send me my check Oct. 14th. Well no check and many phone calls and no answers. Now the phone is disconnected and I'm now in Florida. They owe me $866. This store was open for 6 years. Small claims court? How when I'm in FL. I want my money. Please help me Barb

What contact/discussions have you had with the store for the last 4 1/2 YEARS that they have not paid you?

I am sorry the year should be 05 NOT 01.

Lots of problems.... starting with what type of business were they?? If they were a proprietorship, then the individual owner would be liable and you would have to sue him/her.
If a corporation, then you would have to sue them.... and not a whole lot of hope since their 'assets' (if any) are probably already 'disposed' of (usually to the 'owner').

Then, if you were to decide to sue, you would have to do it in MN.

Your choice if it is worth it.
