Q: I need help getting $10,000 back from a contractor who is not showing up and is ghosting me.
The fence guy did 4 days of work over the last 2 months. Has not responded to calls or texts the last week. Has his house, tractor, truck and other items now listed for sale. His tractor is sitting on my property. What are my options to get my money back?
