Can I legally go after a contracting company that has delayed my start date by numerous weeks? Possibly no job?

DHI Pros — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:54:03 +0000

I have a signed contract stating my hourly wage and all. My start date has been changed 3 times and this last time my shift has also been changed. I am starting to think there is no job for me at this company and this company is a fraud. The stat date has been changed 3 times, I do not have in the writing the original start date or the second one. Those were done over the phone, the third one (which is most recent) was done in an email. It has been 14 working days since I should have started. I really like the company that I would be working for and like the would be job. If I did not like either, I would have gone away much sooner (around the second date change). What should I do?

How do you file a law suit agaist a company in a state different from yours?

DHI Pros — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 07:38:09 +0000

I hired a contracting company in Pa for a landscaping job to be done in NJ. They have failed to complete the job and I find it necessary to file a suit. How would I go about this because they are a PA company. Thanks for any insight.
Just to clarify:
The company began the job and abandoned it along with all their tools and equipment that were left at the NJ site. They will not return phone calls etc.

Will this non-compete agreement hold up in court?

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:49:35 +0000

I reside in Minnesota and was an independent contractor for a company based out of Rhode Island. They ended my contract because I told the owner she was a self righteous ####waffle.
I have spent 7 years in this type of job and it is how I earn the better part of my living.
The contract I signed has a non-compete that states I won’t "work directly or indirectly with a competitor".
Logic would dictate that I’m completely screwed, but many are telling me that because of the geographic distance and the unreasonableness of the non-compete (I won’t be allowed to practice my trade), that I could easily fight this in court. Any thoughts?

We have general contracting company in the state of ohio, we were contracted to perform a service to tear out?

DHI Pros — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:47:44 +0000

an existing driveway, prep and pour a new one. We performed all the tear out and prep work and when the city inspectors did the prepour inspection, they stated they wanted a curb installed between the customer’s driveway and the neigbor’s property so that if it rained, the water would not drain onto the neigboring property. The customer refused to let us pour a curb, and went to city hall, cancelled our permits using the excuse that we did move fast enough for them and had the driveway poured without the curb and had a different inspector who passed the job. We filed a lien for breach of contract and our atty. requested a flat fee of 0.00 to file the lien. In turn, the customer countered a law suit of approx ,000.00 for fraudulent damages, lost time from work, etc., Now, we want to countsue that suit and our atty said we cannot do that. Is this correct. Other exp have occurred since we orig filed the lien.

We want to flip a house more than anything…?

DHI Pros — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:35:27 +0000

This is my passion, we took over my parents condo from the 70’s and re did each room 1 by 1, and I can’t get enough of it, I wish I had a million more rooms, I not only love the designing aspect of it but actually gett my hands dirty although my husband has worked for a licensed contractor for a while now and he basically does all the dirty work. We love this, he does it for a job and at home in his spare time. We want more than anything to flip a house, and try to earn a profit, even if it’s small, we’re young, early-mid 20’s, just starting out and don’t have a lot of money, so we know we’d never get approved to buy a house, we’re looking for an investory in the Massachusetts area.. how do we go about this??
