bricklayer just been bumped 1600 bucks

[Guest tootall74]

i pulled off a brick venear house for someone 3 weeks ago,it was my first job in oz,i had 54 hours pumped into it and the bloke i was suppose to be working for never showed in most days and when he did he would give me cock n bull story about waiting for a draw,in the uk i would of shut up shop alot earlier but i was enjoying meself not having worked for a while,anyway now he is not answering my calls and apart from going round his house and belting ten bails of sh## out of him i was wondering what sort of action i should take,he is only small time suby who does not seem that keen on work,a complete waster really

Couple of things you can do will send you a pm

[Guest Barney Rubble]

feel for you ! At least you know where he has or is investing his (well yours too) money:wink:

[Guest RealEstateGuru]

It will all depend on what type of agreement you had with him, verbal , you are probably stuffed, in writing, go to the local magistrates court they will help you lodge a claim, or a debt collector, they charge around 12% of the recovery, normally the threat of legal action is more than enough

I would stick to the going around and belting him .

[Guest adzm124]

Or weedkiller his garden, paintstripper the car, or turning up every morning for the money? If it's not too far? Or failing that belting them might give you some satisfaction - but then you won't get any money - ever!

see here for legal action you can start yourself. http://www.courts.sa.gov.au/courts/magistrates/final_notices.html As far as I am aware a contract is a contract whether verbal or written.

 

If you ring the court helpline they will help you through the process
