What does Thumbtack do for Pros when a customer goes dark and doesn't pay

Looking to see what Thumbtack does as far as contacting this person, and what I need to be aware of, prior to calling the police and filing a civil suit. I will more than likely be showing the court the chat log and this person's contact information.

    @structuralguy65 and @DerHilfer_LLC be sure to call or email Thumbtack support and let them know about this customer.

  • @DerHilfer_LLC just a heads up, when the economy gets a little rough, the prevalence of non-payers goes up. Not by much, but it does go up.

    I love the name of your company by the way. I'm going to guess that you're either in Wisconsin or Amish country.

    @DerHilfer_LLC Did you fill out the form? It is a very robust system that helps with disputes - let me know if you were able to fill it out. Thank you!

    If you aren't willing to fill out the form, then I'm not sure what to tell you to do from here - as that is the route to a resolution. I believe once you fill that our there is a person assigned to your case.

    While I would love to be able to directly connect pros to someone in every case, there are systems in place to help with disputes and there is not a way to circumvent that system. Once you've filled out the form there will be a case number that I can help follow up on. Thank you!
