I was chasing close to $10K from a previous employer last year .....
I went to a lawyer to have him chase it up ..... letter one .... no reply from employer .... I had to contact lawyer to get him to follow it up .... letter two .... again no reply from employer ..... again I had to contact the lawyer to get him to follow it up ..... letter three, this time with deadline ..... deadline approached with no reply from employer ..... again I follow up with the lawyer. This time lawyer telephones employer and advisers if the account isn't paid by 5:00pm he will be filing case with court the next day. Employer makes deposit by 5:00pm.
it cost me $330.00 for three useless letters that I had to follow up with the lawyer .... however I did get my $10K back. I payed the lawyers account the day that I received it but if I had the guts I would have not paid for a few months as I had to do so much of the following myself.Now proudly sponsored by Binford Tools.

It is worth the extra paperwork required ( and used to keep me in work ) to maintain the legal fiction that the owners, holding company and trust, leasing company and operating company are separate entities.
BTW in my former life when I used to set up companies the incorporation fees were only $ 212 and the Vic S/d on setting up a discretionary unit trading trust was $ 1.50 Cost must have gone up abit.
