In my case it is probably too late.
I answered an ad on here from DirectsatUSA......They referred me to Emarald Cabling & Satellite, Inc in Baltimore for installation work. ECS was "out of contracts" the day I arrived for an interview. Then I made an appointment to get equipment and begin work on a handshake. The contract that eventually arrived did not address what we were doing and I stopped work until paid. When no money arrived I sued the owner personally in local District Court. I won and have a judgment + interest but no collection award (didn't ask). I found a lawyer to collect the judgment but he has not been able to collect for various reasons.
My question now is: Can I collect from DirectSAT USA for failing to do what I eventually did to discover what a low level company they had referred me to? How about Directv? Their customers are sending in money each month but I am still not paid?
I had better luck with the next company...bounced checks...got paid before trial....MASTEC subcontractor.
I'd like to get the $4000.00 + interest...but am really not going to piss away any more time on satellite work.
Why do you have to prepare to sue these creeps before beginning to work for them?
