Update: I went back and forth for a few days with the animal hospital girl that hired me. She kept wanting me to drive up there. I kept telling her to just mail the check and that I wasn't driving anywhere to meet her. She finally texted saying something about some paperwork. I told her to fax it. It was a typed statement saying that I had received full payment. (Along with a huge grammatical error "except" rather than "accept." How lame.) She actually had the nerve to ask me to fax it back and
then she would mail the payment. I told her that I would sign it and return it just as soon as I actually
received full payment!
I'd had enough of the games and wasting time. I turned it over to my collections department i.e. my husband. He went back and forth with her as well. Same s**t...come pick up a check. "No. Mail it." She offered $500. (So that's what all this bs back and forth is about-trying to stiff me.)
"Not acceptable" he replied. Then the girl texted something back about witnesses and price. My husband replied, "Good. They can be subpoenaed." "Really?" she quickly texted back. Then proceeded to have a little temper tantrum texting "someone like you doesn't know business" to my husband.
That was that. I'm done messing with you fools. Now my claws are out. You don't mess with my family!
I immediately went to the court's website and put together a demand letter giving the Real Deadbeats of OC 10 days to pay or I'd file a small claims lawsuit without further notice. How's that for business?
Before I mailed the letter I received a text from someone claiming to be a prospective client asking only how much did I charge per hour. I googled her number, it was some real estate chick from the ultra rich and douchey Corona Del Mar. Which is right next to Newport Coast. No one just texts me out of the blue. It was obviously them. And no one texts me asking that question. I've been the business since 2008. People want to talk about their beloved pets. Effing idiots.
I mailed the letter a few days later on the 5th.
Check for full amount came via express mail on the 15th.
