Re: To the friendly folks at BOINKS

Big companies like that will simply blame this all on some paperwork error
on your part. Most insist on pointing to some obscure (very recent) "policy
change" that YOU didn't comply with in your billing paperwork you submitted
to them. I really hate new construction jobs where you think you're dealing
with the end user (and you are actually) but all the paperwork for payment
gets submitted to the (some big regional or national) general contractor for
payment. Sometime it takes up to 2.5 years (the record for us so far) to get
the paperwork just right so you can get paid. How many vendors just give up
(or go out of business) before that? Plenty I bet. It is just another way to
generate a profit for the big boys. As for any attorneys being upset by you
bringing a case against them, I think not. It is just a another pay day for
them. As for "BOINKS" as well as the other biggies, once you file a suit
them both sides try to settle for pennies on the dollar and you probably
won't get any more work from that general contractor (or "BOINKS"). Not that
you'd want any new business with idiots like this, but when you get into big
projects, sometimes you end up in a shotgun wedding with these guys.
