Johngault -
As you predicted, you didn't get any advice about how to collect. I will offer this to you.....mainly as an idea.
In August 2006, Mastec sent me a nasty letter DEMANDING that I re-pay them for chargebacks. I stopped working for them as a sub in April 2004 - no QC problems, no billing problems - just their lame staff who got replaced by more lame staff from a different office. When I finally got in contact with the lady who was in charge of sending the letters (she said there were several hundreds of letters that "Corporate demanded that she send". I sent all my proof of paperwork (there's is jacked up). To this day, I have no response.
You really need to examine how much money they owe you. If its over $10k, then I say buy a plane ticket and plant your butt in their office until one of their moronic managers gets off his ass and solves the problem. Even if you get half, that's at least something. For all of the stupid paperwork that Mastec required, and their big fancy system, and all of their offices (obviously the source of their many problems), they will have some records of they screwed you. And if your subs join you in the effort to collect, they certainly can't ignore all of you planted in their office.... That is what I was prepared to do, and still am....
