In today’s world where honor is a thing of the past, nobody cares if they get a summons slapped on their door anymore. What follows is a true case.

You sue a company that did business with you since before the son took over, you knew the father but now the son is a deadbeat liar and after you sue their firm their answer is you did not do business with them you did business with a third party (whose check they used to pay the only money you ever saw — the down payment of $25,000).

You hired a lawyer, three years passed since the bum has failed to pay you and after you spent tens of thousands in supplies and manpower the judgment debtor does not return calls or emails.

So after you pay to find hidden bank accounts and assets the judgment debtor’s bank turns over funds to the marshal; now the judgment debtor hires a lawyer and interposes an order to show cause stating he never did business with you. And you receive an offer of $30,000 to settle a judgment of almost $90,000!

The days of a man’s word being his bond are long gone. Today some customers plan to rip you off from the git go.

Caveat venditor…
