I performed services for a company as a contractor for 3 months and billed them weekly. The checked that was mailed to me for the last invoice I could not cash until almost 3 months later because I was out of the county working for another company. When I tried to cash the check upon return it bounced due to a stop-payment. The company would not return my letters/e-mails. But I sent the matter to a collection agency, the company disputed the collection by saying that they were over-billed.
I filled a small-claims for the amount of the check, bank fees and the collection agency fees. What evidences would I have to show to the judge to win the case? The fact that I did get paid but latter on the company decided not to pay it for some reason is good enough proof in itself? Or should I have a witness (employee from the company) come to testify that I did perform work there during my last week.What is the name of your state?
