Advice on company not paying

[GC-Terrazzo]

Hi all looking for some advice, been working for a company on and off for last 5 or 6 years, usually only work for them from aprill to december when the big supermarkets start. So worked for them most of last year as normal and started a job for them in november and it was finished just before x mass, got payed for all the price work and there was 10 dayworks left, contracts manager said it would be payed in next few weeks its now a few months and he wont answer the phone or texts, texted him yesterday to tell him wanted payed in 7 days or i was taking them to court. Were do i stand with this there a huge company should i go see a lawyer or small claims court? Also in all the years ive worked for them ive never seen any of my retention money how do i get this back ?

Had a look through that, sill not sure whats best for me to do a lawyer or small claims ? also any1 know about retention money and getting it back ?

Dont think you should use a lawyer, retention is kept to cover any possible defects regarding your work.Different companies have different holding times.When you send a letter about your day work outstanding,do the same for your retention.

pebbs letter worked for me, as soon as the plumbers that owed me the money received the 7 day notice letter they were stright on the phone to me wanting to sort it out, you need to make sure you send it recorded delivery, just take it to the post office it only cost about £1.20 but it shows you mean buisness, and if there a limited company then the last thing they want is a court case going against them, as there credit rating will go flying out the window....trust me it works and i would have no hesitation using it again...

How do you know if there a limited company or not ?
