Question: I have been in business for a short amount of time and the type of business I have is a pilot car business. We escort oversize loads on the highways. We have a "friend", I'll call him Nick, who also has the same type of business and many times he will book loads out to us. We expect payment within 30 days (which is not unreasonable), but then after 30 days we charge a late charge each day the payment is not in our hands. Well Nick has kicked and screamed over this. Now he has bounced 2 checks with us. It's at the point where I told him that we would not accept any more checks.....only cash or money orders. He refuses to do this. And also he has refused to pay the late charges that are almost up to $100.00 now. Naturally, we don't have to accept any more work from him, but is there another way to handle this ? It looks bad on us, at the bank, when they have to call us and tell us that a check we deposited bounced. It's also embarrassing. Is there any way to get our late charges from him without the late charges escallating more than they already have ? Do we do the "take him to court deal " ? Any advice would be appreciated so much, thanks !
