idk hoping some could tell me.i have tried online every where else had lawyer in sc wanted to help but cannt pratice in nc
-
I have always had luck in small claims court. You are limited as to how much you can sue for and that varies state by state. You must sue in the home of the company. If they are in South Carolina you sue there.
-
i did in nc gastonia,but got thrown out with all my papers that showed i am owed the money,judge took owners side only guess why
-
If they paid fuel, tolls, etc, you certainly were NOT a contract driver.
Did the ESC tell them they owed the money? If so, I would contact them, they have ways of convincing folks to pay up.
What court did you go through? Small claims, or what. Did you have a lawyer?
Jack -
they only have the right to determine if money is owed not make them pay could find anyone to represent me so i was alone as they were,yes small claims
-
Sounds like you did everything correctly and the Judge sided with your ex-employer. Time to move on, life ain't always fair.
-
Allow me, sounds like you always take the easy way out. Ever try fighting for what's right?
truckertaz, I would contact the ESC again. As I said, they have ways to make them pay. You have to keep going up the chain until you find the right person in the right position to help. Remember, folks that work for the government always take the easy way out. It is easy to say, no, we don't do this or that.
Another avenue to pursue is to contact your state representative. They have ways of making things happen too!
Jack -
so true will try that next time i am home
-
You know, I am trying for the life of me to figure out why a judge in this state did not recognize that you were a company driver and all the so called deductions for not working a notice, etc, and especially the one about the tire were not applicable to you?
