Q: A drum company has my drums and will not give them back. They will not answer my calls or emails. What can I do?
They say I owe them money but will not answer my emails for months. They are in another state entirely and all I want are my drums back. They actually owe me money for services not rendered but are saying I owe them for storage fees which were never discussed until I wanted to pull the plug on the project. What can I do? What are my rights?
A: Your rights will be defined by what your agreement with the drum company was- plus equitable principles to fill in the gaps. You can hire an attorney to demand the return of the drums and/or work out a deal with the company- or you might be able to sue them.
