Thanks for the replies. A litttle more information. Yes, the dead beat did buy the house I inspected. His intention is to flip the house. Yes, he knew what to expect on his credit card statement. Yes, I have written to him explaining what the result of his disputing the credit card charges meant, i.e. theft of services. No, he has not returned any of my phone calls. Yes, I have informed him by registered mail, that failure to pay my fee will result in immediate pursuit of all legal remedies available to me. I just needed your wisdom about what those remedies might be.
Thanks again.
