EMS Specialty Equipment Mike Miklosko This guy hired me to install electrical wiring for ventilation system at local fire department then he didn't pay me! Jeanette, Pennsylvania

I am a South Carolina electrical contractor who was hired by EMS Specialty Equipment-Mike Miklosko of Jeanette, PA to install the wiring for a ventilation system his company was installing at a local fire department. He informed me that the system was being paid for by a grant from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). He told me that he was required to hire a local licensed contractor to purchase the required permits and therefore sub out the work.

After meeting with the representive/installer from his company and the local fire chief we proceeded to do the work with confidence we would be paid. The work was done on 10/15/2010 and he was faxed an invoice for $1818.75 the next day with the terms being 'due on receipt'. As this balance was approaching the 30 day mark (11/15/2010) I decided to call him and ask where my money was. He informed me that he had received his payment for the job on 10/25/2010 and that my check would be mailed that week.

Two weeks passed and I called him again to which he responded that my check had been sent out. I told him that I didn't have much confidence in what he was telling me as it had now been 45 days since the work was completed. I have tried to call him on a daily basis but he will not answer or return my calls. After finding that he had other complaints against him I decided to file a report and hope that something can be done to prevent him from doing this to others.
