I made the same mistake of continuing work while invoices were outstanding. Thank you Dale and Jack and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been stung too Jack.

We made the mistake of continuing to supply them even thought they had unpaid invoices, too trusting, lesson learnt! It seems unfair that a business can go 'bankrupt' then the owners move onto new jobs and have no individual responsibility to pay back the people they owe. I hope you do manage to get something back, and am sorry you've had that stress, Jack Nasty – yep we had a similar case where we supplied several cases of wine to a restaurant that has now gone under, we too hold little hope of getting paid – but the amount owed was significantly less than your loss!
