OK so I own a business in Houston, TX and I've had a customer who used to be a "house account" customer until he ran out on his bill. He owes me $1,919.08. My question is, to whomever has had experience with something like this, how much am I going to spend on Lawyer fees to get him to actually pay up? He has owed this amount since May 2011. Could I also tack on some sort of interest/penalty?

All I know is that hiring a guy called Tony is cheaper and more effective than a lawyer![]()
Take him to one of those Judge Judy-like tv shows.

Sad to say you'll definitely pay just about that in fees. You could try suing him on your own, but you'll probably need a lawyer to at least write up the paperwork.
Ummm if he owes you money and you have proof surely that isn't even a case? Should the police not just make him pay you?
Take him to the small claims court, settle for 1,000 and write off the rest for his co-operation. Might be the best option, otherwise you could easily waste a lot more money. I presume his credit rating was alright before you entered business with him?
Yea, that sounds like a good optionOriginally Posted by NonRedOrchid
