What is the name of your state? Wy
I hired a contractor to finish my bathroom at a rental. He told me he could do everything -- wiring, plumbing, etc. He started the job, but the state inspector looked at the wiring and the contractor had no clue what he was doing. It had to be taken out and an electrical company came in to do the wiring. Then, the state inspector let us know that our contractor wasn't even licensed and couldn't continue until he became licensed. We decided to give the contractor a second chance (since we'd given him over $7,000) to finish the bathroom. He said he would get his license and finish the bathroom. Now, we haven't heard from him in a month and he won't return our calls. Basically, he did nothing.
I know I can take him to small claims court. Can I garnish his wages, if he doesn't pay after he loses in small claims? Can I have him arrested for theft of services? I emailed him and told him if he didn't respond by tomorrow, I would call the police for theft.
Basically, he took $7000+ and never returned...
