So the punk I was working for decided to not pay me. He is dodging phone calls and being a total prick in general ex: telling me a time and place to meet and never showing twice, then not answering the phone for 8 plus hours today. Being that he is a contractor all I know about his business is that he rents yard space out in Utica and his Company is called Eagle Concrete walls INC his Name is Fred Hotaj. I zabasearched him and found multiple addresses been to 3 already with no luck I brought the munchkin home before I go check on the rest.By the way I was 1099 paid cash with no record of employment he owes me 2 weeks pay which is enough to buy a 60 so what should I do? :confused:

Anyway I guess I am asking for some advice

Hate to say it, but that part of your statement may be your downfall. Legally, you have no way of proving he owes you money. If you do something stupid, you may end up on the wrong side.

You could try to take him to small claims court, but not sure how you can prove he actually owes you the money.

Good luck

Do a search, mich.gov and look his name up and see if he has anything out standing as far as the courts, police, bad checks whatever you can find.
I did the same to a guy that did not pay me then wrote me two bounced checks and found he was on probation for.... you got it check fraud. My wife called the probation officer, the judge and guess what? I got paid ever dime he owed me. Be creative in trying to get your money but keep it legal. Good luck and hope you get all your money plus more for your troubles.

I went over his head to the general contractor. My old boss already had made himself look like an ass so I just made it worse :teehee: I will get paid within 24 hours I am sure of it.
