I recently accepted a job for a client to do a big job that would earn me $6000 labor. We set a date after meeting to sign a contract and exchange a down payment to begin work . He arrived as planned on a Saturday at 10am I was unfortunately not available . I contacted him later on and offered him an apology for my absent and he told me I lost the job because I didn’t show up. I told him it was school related and I haven’t heard back from him since . It’s been one day.
In my profile it says sudden cancellations are subject to a $100 cancellation fee. And I mentioned to him that I had already paid two workers for a weeks worth of work out of my own pocket and can provide receipts . Im in the hole $1100, what do I do ?
