Indepent Contractor Not Recieved Final Check

I worked as an independent contractor for a pool company out of Atlanta,GA from April 2007 - Aug 2007 and have yet to receive my final commission check which is in excess of $5000.00. I have called several times to complain and they have given me several dates as to when the check would be mailed to me and the dates have passed and everytime I call back they give me an excuse and another date a few weeks away. I am tired of playing this cat and mouse game with them and need the money owed to me. I basically need to know what options I have at this point cause I feel that two months is plenty of time to get the check to me!

Re: Indepent Contractor Not Recieved Final Check

If you have exhausted all informal remedies, I usually recommend having an attorney send a demand letter for the money owed with a specific deadline to respond. If they fail to respond, you can then file suit (probably in Magistrate, or small claims, Court considering the low amount of money involved).

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
