My husband worked for this electrician and now he wont give us my husband's check. Please help...?

Question

Its only like $80 but we really need it. He's trying to say that we gave him a non-existing address and my husband's wrong SSN. I dont know who to call or where to go.

Answer 1

Very simple. Send him another copy of the invoice, along with a letter you plan on sending to the tax authorities in your country stating that you will be sending them a copy of the invoice, complete with your husband's SSN and address, for what he owes your husband for the work done. The thought of a tax audit usually makes people pay up sharpish.

Answer 2

Look in your phone book for your state Bureau of Labor and Industries.  They handle this type of situation.  The state usually provides a toll-free 800 number for people to call.  You can also look for it online.  Most states provide full access on the web.

I don't see a Labor Dept. on the Mississippi web site.  Try the Attorney Generals office.  If they can't help you they certainly should be able to get you to someone who can.

Answer 3

Call the labor board.  What an a***e.  $80 is a lot of money.

Answer 4

Not much you can do.  It'll cost $75 just to sue in small claims.
