I took Linkpoint to small claims court and they did not show up. I was requesting a total reimbursement of expenses/consulting fees in the amount of $654.98 and penalties to be adminstered by the courts for illegal seizure and theft of company assets. Because I was well documented and kept track of the time spent and what "work was performed" the judge granted in my favor based upon Marie's acknowledgement that my business was not the business they entered a contract with. The judge also agreed that they misappropriated the "bill of sale" with the terms and conditions of that sale. It was evident that Linkpoint received from the former owner a complete packet including the bill of sale along with a letter confirming the account should have been closed as of December 31, 2007. It is surmised that Linkpoint saw the electronic wire transfer from my bank account to the former owner. This was an illegal manipulation of sensitive information and constitutes theft. The judge was disappointed Linkpoint blew off the hearing and placed a subpeona to appear to answer the charges of illegal seizure of theft and company assets. The bottom line, Linkpoint did not respond to the subpeona and the courts escalated and entered in a default judgement. The judge also was not surpised they did not pay the money previously ordered, so that is a second default judgement against them. Not sure if the company liquidated. With the lack of response, I think they must be in serious trouble like the rest of the industry.
