Non payment on materials.

Re: Non payment on materials.

Dear Former Contractor: You have several alternatives; namely (1) File for bankruptcy and completely ruin your credit, or (2) arrange with the supplier to pay off the materials invoices over a period of time, in order to have the judgment satisfied and your credit rating re-established again.

IU strongly urge you retain an experienced Attorney to advise and assist you, otherwise, you'll be right back where your started - in debt, out of work, and with no supplier credit, and poor credit rating, etc.

Sorry. Better luck next time.

Good luck.

Sincerely,

J. Norman Stark
