Just get a lawyer to send her a letter, if its not paid within a reasonable time, interest will be added and she will be taken to the small claims tribunal to recover the debt. Providing you have them on contract it shouldn't be too difficult.ladyvampire wrote:I have a tuition agency and recently I have been unable to recover $500 of commission fees from one of my tutors.
She will not answer my calls/sms and when I use other numbers to call, she hang up upon hearing my voice.
I'm quite lost over here, is there any place/body I can go to?
One that protects businesses perhaps?

That's quite true, though a letter may just be enough to get the message over if it is prepared how it should be, with failure to clear the debit within a reasonable time limit. 50 to 80$ for a lawyers letter.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Actually, you cannot use a lawyer at the SCT. If you bring one, they cannot say anything at all but just observe. (Unless it's changed in the past 4 years).
Ouch! Surely you can pass the charge on, to the debitor? Yes I should say a solicitor is much cheaper, one doesn't really need a lawyer!sundaymorningstaple wrote:When's the last time you got a lawyer's standard letter done? We did some earlier this year and they're around $150 a whack now!
As far as I know for a regular court case you need a separate case to claim legal expenses. Do not expect to be different for SCT. This really sucks. And I doubt you can have here any compensation just for the waste of your time.ksl wrote:Ouch!
