What steps do you guys take, or what is the right way to go about, to collect past due payments?
Long story short, a client paid my former employer due to a mix up in tax info. They refuse to chase down the incorrect payments and pay me for my services. They suggest that I make the collection, but if I do that, I don't have the tax info at the end of the year.
I think it is their responsibility to correct the error.
To this point, payments are 5-11 months past due and total a few thousand dollars. I've attempted to collect numerous times. I don't know what I can legally do or say. Should I turn them in to TREC/TALCB, file a claim in court, or what?
