Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
services debt
I have a small home business, sewing/monogramming service. I placed product in a gift store and provided monogramming for her customers. All monies were collected from the customer by the business owner up front. She was to pay me when I delivered the orders. Initially she paid on time. She stopped paying and began giving excuses...I extended credit. Remember, she had already collected the money for the product and my services. We do not have a contract, but she has received statements each month for the past 6 months. I have the signed USPS delivery confirmation. She has paid no money, called and acknowledged the debt, states there isn't much I can do about it...she'll pay me when she can. She is pay COD with all her vendors now. What can I do legally to collect this. I have asked for monthly payments, total debt is over $2000.00. Can I charge interest? What amount?

Sue the entity which owes you the money.
