Q: How do I sue someone?
I working in a handy man business and they asked me to get a credit card from Home Depot for business expenses but now that the bill is here they don't want to pay the card like they said they would. Plus they weren't paying me an hourly income or hardly even paying me. So I feel like I was taken advantage of and now I can't pay off the card myself. Please help? What should I do?
A:
You should immediately contact the state Labor Commissioner. You can find him online at https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/DistrictOffices.htm. Copy and paste this link in your browser and you will be taken to the Labor Commissioner's web page. Find the Labor Commissioner's office in the nearest city to where you live. After you locate the nearest office, you can either call them or use the online forms to submit a wage claim. The Labor Commissioner will do everything for you. Make sure you inform the Labor Commissioner's office of your pay history and all other expenses your employer has failed to reimburse you. The more detail you can provide, the better.
Go to them. They will help make sure you get everything you are owed.
