I was working as an Independent Nurse Consultant. Another
nurse consultant had referred me to this particular company.
I was advised that they would pay for hotel bills up front
and pay weekly. I started working for them and they had
failed to pay for the hotel. I paid my hotel bill using my
own credit cards. They advised me to just fill out an
expense report for labor, food, and hotel. I sent them the
bills. After doing two different nursing homes for them
they failed to pay me. They called me and stated they
needed me at a nursing home immediately. I advised them I
could not until they paid me. They agreed to send me the
check that day if I left to come work for them. They agreed
to pay all outstanding expense checks and invoices. I left
and went to Floresville, Texas. I called home every night
and the check arrived a week later. It was for one small
invoice under $1,000.00. I packed up to go home the next
day. That morning I received a call at the hotel that State
was in their nursing home could I come in. I went in and
asked about the check. I was to receive it before I left the next day. To this day they owe me over $5,000. They have continued to avoid my calls and state checks were being mailed when they haven't. I adviced them that I had to make two house payments by the end of the month or I would loose my house. They stated they would mail it out. This was last Tuesday and I still haven't received it and am almost
ready to loose my house. What can I do? They initially used my services to get them out of trouble with the State of Texas. The State of Texas was impressed that they had hired me to fix their deficiency problems. I did my job and the State of Texas cleared them but I never got paid.

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

In business, you never give anyone the benefit of the doubt.

Cash out extra from your credit cards to pay your bills and tack those interest charges onto what they owe. This is called consequential damages (very reasonable and foreseeable since they knew about your situation with mortgage payments).

As to what you do:

you total up all they owe and sue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
