Actions that May Get You Sued for Harassment

As a truck driver or trucking company manager, you likely deal with numerous clients every day who owe you money for your services. While most people pay on time, unfortunately, there will likely be a few who will not. When a person refuses to pay their debts for an extended period of time, the effects on you and your company can be serious, causing you to seek ways of obtaining payment for services rendered. While calling and notifying the debtor that payment is owed is one option available to you, it is imperative that you are aware of what actions are legal and which ones qualify as harassment, putting you at-risk for legal consequences.
