Before we went to court I :
I ran off customers from the service writer's area
I ran off customers from the sales lot
I sat out on the curb with a big sign that said they sell lemons
I sat across the street after being told to leave the property by the cops
I ripped the phone cord out of the wall, because I knew he wasn't talking to anyone, he just didn't want to talk to me
I called the owner at home, first during dinner time. Later I started calling at about 11pm
4K is a months pay. I'd say you have a lot of work to do, before you have gotten 4K worth out of value from them for not treating you right. I'm not saying they should pay for it all, but they oughta at least work with you a bit.
