Billet Compensation Recovery
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
I'm seeking legal consultation to recover compensation owed to a billet family from a hockey academy. We rented a house and housed 6 girls, my daughter one of them. My daughter's tuition fees were deducted from what was owed to me every month. The agreed upon rate was $1000/student/month. I received $3575 every month from September - April (they have not paid me any money for August even though I was required to house the girls as early as Aug 11).
I had asked for a statement of my acocunt on many occasions and they never provided one. They expelled two girls from my house and the academy part way through the year but the families were still required to pay and the 3575 never changed. My daughter and another girl voluntarily left in mid April and we and the other family to my knowledge did not request a refund - they are still collecting. April was paid at $3575.
We received no payment on May 30 - at that point there were still 2 girls in the house. We required that money to pay the rent. After two emails June 3 and 4, they finally responded that our situation was "under review". They then, without any notification, removed those two girls from the house June 4. We received an email today saying they had "reconciled" our account and they did not owe us any money. They have not paid the agreed amount as per our informal agreement and owe us for August, May and June at the established rate.
Key requirements:
- Legal expertise in non-payment cases
- Experience with informal agreements
- Ability to provide effective recovery strategies
Ideal skills and experience:
- Background in contract law
- Strong negotiation skills
- Previous success in similar compensation cases
Looking for a knowledgeable consultant to guide me through this process.
