As many of you know i supply artistic entertainment to hotels and resorts in Punta Cana.
A very large hotel in Punta Cana has not paid my invoices for JUNE, JULY, AUGUST and now September.
Every week they loose an invoice that they have been given 5 times already of just seem to loose track of everything and I have to walk them through it in baby steps. Yes i believe we will get paid eventually, but what do i do in the meantime.
Anyway, I had a quiet word with the entertainment director today and explained that it costs me RD$75,000 just to provide them with the show each month, never mind making any actual money and allthough we have continued to provide the weekly service without complaint for the last four months i can no longer continue to find the money to keep doing so and if the accounting department dont pay i will have to suspend the service, not through wanting to but out of neccesity.
His reply "well we will just get another show to replace you, so you either stay and keep doing the show or loose out, not my problem!".
What i want to know is-
Is there a law that protects companies from not paying suppliers and hiring others when they press for payment?
If anyone can suggest a good tactic or a legal way of dealing with it i would be very grateful.
Thanks
