Re: Take Over Practices

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't sue the customer. You send them a final invoice for the balance of
the contract that he should have completed. If he doesn't pay you send him
to collections.

Then you have your attorney (acutally I have a form letter) write up a
letter to the takeover company complaining of tortuious interference of a
valid on-going contract and you threaten them with a lawsuit.
