Submit Your CaseCommon payment issues that cost manufacturers and wholesalers millions annually
Customers stretch net-60 terms to 120+ days, disrupting your cash flow while goods are already delivered and consumed.
Buyers claim quality issues or order discrepancies to withhold payment, forcing you into a costly dispute spiral.
Customers use freight damage or delivery problems as leverage to reduce payment or avoid it entirely.
Buyers enter bankruptcy or go silent after receiving goods on credit, leaving you unsecured and facing write-offs.
Our 4-step debt recovery process designed for manufacturers
We evaluate your invoice, UCC Article 2 protections, and reclamation rights under California law. No recovery, no cost.
Our legal team issues formal demand, explores settlement, and pressures debtors with payment plans and threat of litigation.
If settlement fails, we litigate in small claims, civil court, or bankruptcy court to obtain a judgment.
We pursue garnishment, asset recovery, and collections on the judgment until the debt is paid in full.

Sellers have powerful rights under California commercial law
If a buyer becomes insolvent after accepting goods, you have the right to reclaim them within 10 days (or if goods were purchased on credit while insolvent, within 45 days).
Sellers can withhold delivery, stop goods in transit, and pursue damages for non-acceptance or repudiation. These remedies are fundamental to commercial protection.
If a buyer breaches, you can identify goods to the contract and resell them. Recover damages from the original buyer based on market differential.
Recover the difference between contract price and market price, plus incidental damages. This covers your lost profit margin.
In certain cases, sue for the full contract price plus interest, not just damages. Powerful when goods were custom or specially manufactured.
Recover costs of inspecting, transporting, and holding goods; commissions; and attorney fees in some cases. Don't leave money on the table.
