The query was:
- I designer, I interior design and furniture. A month ago I accepted an advance for the preparation of a project and I signed a contract with the client. However, one of the clauses apparently said that if the client is not happy with the furniture not be obligated to pay. I finished the cabinet on Sunday 15, according to an addendum , and now the customer refuses to pay me , noting that finishes were not agreed that initially, which is not true. It also says that does not conform with finishes and that is not going to pay me. I wonder how you react to this a thousand thanks.
Dear Ricardo, thanks for your confidence in presenting their case.
The first point is that your client has raised controversy, and probably you have already exhausted all means of persuasion or dialogue.
The second point is that you have a contract with his client, and certainly, as says an old legal term, " contracts are law between the parties ."
In this sense, if we are in a case that is no longer possible understanding between you and your client to do a "default notice " for the balance owed. Extremely
, you can sue for the value that is owed, it would be a judicial process that can take in first 8 months, but the customer must pay all that you spent to sue and will have to pay currently existing debt with legal interest .
So you take the decision on whether to start legal actions or not, there are two elements to consider : the first is whether the value of the debt warrant the time and money you have to invest, with the proviso that they will will be compensated once you win the process.
Secondly, one must analyze the terms of the contract and how you can "prove" to a judge that the benefits to his position in the contract were completed properly and timely. This second point is critical to the success of its predecessor, ie the success of a judicial process lies in the strength of the evidence that support your position.
Thank you for your confidence in making its request.
