    They just go bankrupt and skip on the bill. Open up the next day under the wife’s numbered company.

    the money is secured before the work starts,, same as recovery of trucks in the ditch. That’s why some stay put for weeks

    The latest is putting recovery on credit cards, and filing a fraud charge on it the next day.
