these  folks that think it is "ok" to run

pay you!

I've been hit  today with a $3,800.00 bill that I doubt I will EVER collect
on. Yeah, I  could drag the guy through the trenches of court and all that
mess, but  what will that get me?

Thom,
 
First, what I would like to know is how does someone just "run in, order  
something and then... decide not to pay you" get away with placing an order for  
$3,800 without a credit check, credit application, personal guarantee or  
something similar. 
 

Second, taking someone to court, especially for that amount, seems like  it 
might be well worth the effort. While it takes time, you eventually can end  up 
having his office furniture, equipment, etc. attached by a sheriff,  
especially if it is pretty much cut and dry as you imply.
 
Third, I think you have to be very cautious about posting a "black list" of  
customers, especially if the intent is to damage their credit or reputation in 
 the eyes of others. As crazy as I am, I would be very careful in that 
regard.  Now having his legs broken or his car destroyed would be another matter 
much  more to my liking.
