REYNOLDS METERING SERVICES BRIAN REYNOLDS My wife told me I was a sucker to keep working for these people, but I am a trusting type of guy and felt that I would get paid sooner or later. One thing that will forever stick in my mind is what INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana

Sorry to learn that you have joined the ranks of us that have done work for Reynolds Metering Services, Brian Reynolds, and Melissa Reynolds and have not be paid for the services provided.  It seems Reynolds Metering Services has a business model built on that. Hopefully one day someone will shut them down for fraudulent business practices but until then there are a couple things you can do

Contact the Property Managers

If you had a good working relationship with the property management of the sites you were servicing, call them as ask "I was just wondering if you were happy with my services or of there was some reason I am not aware of that Reynolds Metering Services is not paying me?" 

The property management should be informed that your not getting paid.

Contact Reynolds Metering Services Client

Given that your in Florida, Reynolds Metering Services largest client for that region is AMS Billing. Chances are most or all of the properties you were reading were read at the behest of AMS.  Reynolds Metering does not work directly for the property, instead it contracts its reading services through third party billing companies.

Most of the properties and thrid party billing companies do not know Reynolds Meter Services is

• Using Contract Labor,  they think Reynolds has a vast network of actual employees, not contractors like yourself



• Is not paying the contractors they do us

Most of these companies are upstanding and would not want to be dragged in to this PR Nightmare.

Small Claims Court

In Naples FL,  where you indicate your located, Small Claims cases are legal actions filed in county court to settle legal disputes among parties where the dollar amount involved is $5,000 or less, excluding costs, interest and attorney fees.

Small Claims is a informal court that does not require and attorney,  For a claim of $1,000 it looks like the filing fee would be $150.  Plus process service which may require an outside company or you may be able to get the Indianapolis Sheriff to do it.

You can find out more about small claims here

While you still may not get paid,  this increases the time you have to collect and increased the number of legal tools you have to pressure them with, including putting the debt on collection reports as a judgement,aetc.

Above all else,  dont stop attempting to get paid,  send a email out every day demanding payment,  call at least 1 a week, send a letter/invoice at least once a month

The phone call and email are free, just costing you a little time.  The letter is also very low cost.  You may annoy them enough to get them to pay you something anyway.

Also know that your far from alone

Good Luck.........
