I tried the collection company route and it doesnt work, and I have every stitch of signed paperwork, with time frames on them, for every hour I worked at that job. I also have pictures of every job as well. They told me they do not buy payroll debt because it is to hard to collect. Now, that being said, they will go after them for you, but it will take at least 6 months if they dont pay just to get a court date. I hired a local Attorney and I am pursueing every penny I earned as well as damages, intrest, and attorney fees and cost. Good luck to you, my case has been going on for about 4 months and its looking hopeful.
