reminds me of this story since we are talking about unpaid services and legalities and this is related .... I read a news article about a woman who hired a moving company for about $900 to move all her stuff including her children's stuff to a new place but for some reason was unable to pay the rest of the amount on delivery. So the moving company took all her stuff out of the house and locked it up in a wharehouse somewhere and sent an invoice for almost double for late fees and additional expenses. She wound up going without her furniture or clothes or anything for a like a month or something. Anyway she took them to court herself and was awarded 25k in damages and the company's owner was charged with extortion. His defense was basically "I run a business." Didn't work.
- he was also charging her for the wharehouse fees and extra time it took for payment though.uuuuuu
- There may be different laws surrounding moving companies. There are specific laws for landlords/tenants in most countries, for example.********
