Q: I'm a freelancer having trouble getting paid for services rendered.
I am owed $1,650 from a business I did some freelance work for last month. I have a bounced check for $1,500. With the appropriate dates in the memo. I've contacted the business owner and been blown off rudely. What should be my next move?
A:
If the owner refuses to pay, sue the business or owner (depending on who you have the agreement).
The lawsuit would include the $1,650 contract and any bounced check fees or other costs you may have incurred as a result.
