Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

Our customer (out of state) arranged COD freight and material (+/-$1000 value) from our location to theirs. The freight carrier colllected a check upon delivery to the customer as they were supposed too. Payment on the check was stopped by customer at no fault of our product. The freight carrier has taken the stance that they will not issue payment to us for the amount of our invoice, since they haven't received payment due to payment stopped on the check. Obviously the customer is the crook here, but I'm with out any form of payment. Who is the responsible party that we should be pursuing and how?

Thank you in advance for your time,

Ethical business person in an unethical world.

It sounds like you will have to sue the customer, and perhaps the shipper. Yuo may be able to sue here in Missouri. If the check was on a natioanl bank (US Bank, BoA, etc) you may be able to garsih their out of state account here in Missouri.

Good luck
