Hi all,


This is my first post.

I am a pensioner trying to earn a little extra by cleaning for other companies. One person/company I have worked for owes me about $1400. He keeps promising payment of the debt but it never comes.

Worse, he paid $680 by cheque and the cheque just bounced. Worse still is the bank part cleared the cheque and I spent $500 of it.

It is a small amount, maybe too small to chase? But in my circumstances, it is very important.

What are my options?

BTW, from what I have learned, he rips off everyone that cleans for him. Am I entitled to advertise his name and/or company and asking for others he has not paid to come forward with a view to collectively taking him to court?

I agree with @Sophea.

Clarify for me - debt, or unpaid wages?

Forget "getting together with others" - too hard, and people can be either too cowardly, or just too flaky.
Look out for yourself, and leave others' problems to others.
