My jurisdiction is: Laurens or Greenville Co. South Carolina
I own a small floor covering business, I subcontract. I install vinyl, cermic tile, hardwood and laminate. Work has been really slow lately so I accepted a few flooring jobs from a fellow flooring business owner. We are paid by piece work, for example, if I am paid $1.00 a foot for hardwood installation and I install 100 feet I get paid $100. The guy I did the work for has not paid me and does not return my phone calls. He owes me somewhere between $500 - $700. The reason I don't know exactly how much he owes me is because he may take a small percentage for supplies. I am not sure what to do about this situation. I can not afford to pay court fees up front. Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
