What is the name of your state? NC
This may be a little long, but trying to get the basics across.
Started work for a company on Dec 1(1 owner, Inc.) along with another person. Both of us have Masters Degrees in business. Started work with a Consultancy firm. We submit invoices and a billable hours summary and president pays us.
Other worker left after 3 weeks as president would question every hour on invoice saying he put down 3 hours, it should have only taken him 1 hr.
So, in Jan. my wife had surgery and the president was not in the office when I tried to turn in my invoices, so I turned 3 invoices in for 6 weeks of work on Feb. 6. She paid weeks 5 and 6 ($414) on Feb. 13, paid weeks 1 and 2 ($306) on Feb. 20. I am trying to collect on weeks 3 and 4 for $684.
She said on Feb. 20 she had no record of the invoice (we feel she lost it on purpose and figured I didn't have copies, so she didn't have to pay). I gave her the copy of the invoice and she questioned everything I did on it.
Invoice was for a complete business plan and a complete redesign of a website for a national account she had just received.
I received a letter today stating that my invoices significantly overstate the time required and assigend to complete the tasks. She is trying to say that she didn't ask for me to do the site redesign (she did and is lying) and other misc. items that she didn't ask me to do.
She is saying that it is fraudulent and could be considered larceny. Not very worried about this as I have records of all work done, but no signed contract to do the work.
It's her word against mine really, but she has done this with the guy who worked there when I started, and from what I understand is in a legal battle with someone who worked there before us.
I am getting a lawyer, but just wanted to get some preliminary info now.
Sorry for the length.
