When a customer stops paying, Bronx County businesses have a clear path: demand, sue if needed, then enforce the judgment.
The demand letter
A lawyer's demand letter with the invoices attached and a firm deadline resolves many unpaid accounts.
Choosing the court
Smaller balances can go to Civil Court of the City of New York, Bronx County, 851 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10451 or commercial claims; larger balances go to Supreme Court.
After judgment
Restraining notices, income executions and property executions turn a judgment into money.
Common questions
Can I charge interest on late invoices?
If your terms provide for it, and courts also award statutory interest on contract damages.
What if the customer disputes the work?
Then expect a breach-of-contract fight; documentation of the work is key.
