I'm in a bit of a pickle--I sold some items to a company and they have not paid me.
I called up a company that I have dealt with for 14 years and spent tons of money with them. They also buy back the products. I need the cash to pay off my mortgage, so we're talking tens of thousands of dollars.
I called them 5/25 for a quote and agreed to their offer. They provided shipping instructions and a shipping label, insured. I boxed up the items per their instructions and have a video recording of all the items, their condition, and boxing them up.
The package arrived at their facility on 5/31 and they started checking in the items that day or on 6/1. Per the agreement, the company was supposed to pay me no later than the business day after the package was delivered (6/1).
I checked the status of the order on 6/1 and saw that the dollar amount was wrong and they did not account for 3 items. The company did not contact me about a discrepancy. I called them on the afternoon of 6/1 and explained the issue that I saw. They claimed 3 of the items were damaged and they didn't know where the other 3 items were, but they would retrieve the video of them unboxing to see what happened.
I have been going back and forth with the representative that accepted my order and I keep getting the run-around: "When we retrieve the video, I will review and let you know." The company claims it can take up to a day to retrieve the video, however, we are now on the fourth business day since it was requested. I have disputed that there was any damage to the items and all items were shipped per their instructions, and let them know that I have video proof of the condition of the items and that all items were shipped per their instructions.
I have contacted them 2 times via email and 3 times via phone to get this resolved, but they continue to give me non-answers.
What recourse do I have? I just want them to pay me as agreed upon.
