Hi guys, just after some advice
Got a guy who is fucking me around for a payment of $130 for some stickers I made
He is from Sydney...
He has ordered stickers from me before and been a little bit late paying but he has cleared his debts with me eventually and I look after him prices wise.
I'm from Brisbane... who do I call and what do I do to set the dogs onto this fucker
Its been two months and he has been promising every week to transfer money but so far ZERO
Cheers
Nick
short of not giving him the goods you cant do much more than just tell him that your going to notify the police in a certain time period. After that period call the police and let them know, at the very least a knock on his door from the boys in blue should wake him up.

But will they do it? I doubt it...
Where do I stand legally with an interstate letter of demand?
id be trying to find someone you know who lives near him in sydney to do the job then. People always just let stuff go when they dont fear confrontation.

I think i'll just send a legal looking letter of demand...
I'm sick of waiting for this fucker to pay up
Nick if all else fails mate I got a couple of fairly Large mates, (lets call them bazza!!) working construction over there in Sydney that for a small fee may be able to assist in your debt collection !!
I reckon email him, tell him your going to send an official "pay me by this date or else" letter and if he doesnt you will regretably be forced to inform the police who will pay him a visit. Keep a copy of the letter for hard evidence.
I reckon it'd scare him even if the cops arent willing to do anything.
The police can do SFA. Has he broken any laws?
All you can do is send an official letter of demand, then if nothing start legal action. If it gets up in front of a magistrate then they can award you the amount and maybe expenses, then the sheriff can get involved.
That is my understanding from looking into it a while ago, though it may pay to ask any friend/acquaintance in the legal profession. Plying them with beer helps too.
But for $130 it's not worth the hassle. In Vic, starting legal procedings costs about $120. Public humiliation with a few well executed porn photochops mailed to his family/employer/minister/wife/all of the above is probably an easier way.

you could employ a 'one off' debt collection.
Most agencies (prushka etc) require a subscription, but they
do a one time only trial deal. the first demand letter is free on subscription (10% for one time deal) and if they start legal proceedings
they charge up to 35% !!! Maybe say your a looking for a new collector,
and will trial them on this job?
Sue him for the amount plus attorney/court fees in a civil court proceeding. You will win. He WILL pay a court ordered fee. Period. Do NOT however sue him for more than just those two. Such as "Hassle fee" and such. Just what he owes and court fees and filing fees.
