cry that you cannot afford legal recourse.
pro tip, always ask for half of the amount on the rider up front.
the end. |

1/2 the amount was given upfront....called the deposit. ;) Other 1/2 supposed to be given day of event....but instead the Djs were accused of taking equiptment and hence the rest of the amount was not paid. (and NO the djs did not take anything.....they are very professional)
Its just a ty situation all around...... |

Break his knees.
Or use a middle-man to hire someone to do it, thus maintaining plausible deniability.

you lost 50 bucks...those dj's lost a few grand.
happens a lot.
just be happy you got a booking (which is good on a resume) and realize unless you have a legal team you will not see anything.
occupational hazard that happens more often then you would think. Get over it or quit. |

Well...Please know that I have not said how much my Djs lost on this. But it sounds like investing in a legal team is the way to go....besides the occasional bashing when necessary :eek:
occupational hazards are a way of life.....have not quit yet....and dont think I will!!!! :) |

just be careful, because legal action can also give you a bad rep even if you were right. You are not a list therefore very disposable.
how much did you lose?
also it will probably cost more than you lost...is it worth it? |
