Complaint Review: All-Star INflatables Inc.

I was contracted to build a website for All-Star Inflatables, Inc. in early March, 2011.  It was built under their direct supervision at their offices and they approved and used it for four (4) months without complaint.

I let the non-payment go for a couple of months, but there was no mention of payment by them nor was there any attempt to even make a partial payment. I first made mention of the non-payment on May 27 and June 2, 2011. They told me they didnt have the money at the time. I have since been trying to collect for over three (3) months now.  About a month ago (July 24 at 2:24pm) they sent me a text saying they had the money and would pay me if I sent them a new invoice. I have sent the requested new invoice via email and certified mail return receipt.  They have ignored both requests.

I was left with no other choice but to put a "suspended" message on their website until payment was made.  The same day I suspended it, they moved the domain to another hosting company and had another site made using the same images and page layouts that I designed on the original site.

I talked to Paul in person on September 9, 2011 and he said he didn't know what I was talking about and there was no website and was not going to pay me.

I have months of text conversations and emails between myself and Paul and Kristie Oliver talking about the website construction and the requests for payment.  There was never a mention of them not being satisfied with the work or that they didn't plan on paying.  There are also witnesses that know I was at their offices building the website and saw the site progress as it was built.
