Pramodji and Lana, thanks for your advise, but I did mention upfront that the amount is not so huge to warrant legal action.

Thanks 3M and jake with your advice.

Late charges are out of question and installments will come in picture only when he shows genuine interest to settle the payment. As of now, he is just avoiding calls / emails.

Theres no way to meet him in person?

There should be someway to teach such individuals some lesson - just need to know the trick that works best.

If I were in your position I'd go for the cash...he can learn his lessons at his own cost.

A cliched 'friends friend' used to appear at the errant debtors workplace and if the debtor said he did not have the cash, the guy used to say 'Dont worry I'll talk to your boss and collect the money from him against your salary'. That usually did the trick. Apparently revenue Quebec made the same threat to a colleague of mine(coincidentally we were talking about it today).
More often than not just the creditor showing up at the place of work worked wonders in lossening up the wallet.Your debtor is probably a business person himself...and this may not work on him but still, going there in person may result in atleast some cash coming out of him.

He is in Port Perry - I am in richmond hill - not a very attractive proposition - but will do as a last resort.

Also, the person is not employed - he is the director of his company - and he hardly sits in his office - is in the field most of the day.

Also, the purpose of this post is only to find a way - once again - I reiterate the amount is not so huge that we cannot write-off but that will pinch a bit. What I am surprised is can an individual get away so easily with an unpaid check? In India for eg. a bounced check = criminal offence and even a basic police complaint can land him behind bars.

I am just gathering ideas from senior and experienced CDs what avenues are available -maybe I am not aware of.

Thanks Jake for your continued comments - appreciate that.

Rgds,
Hiren
