Dear Sir,
We are a reputed transport contractor. We are into logistics & transportation business serving our esteemed clients satisfactorily. We wish to state that we had provided transportation services to one of our client between the period December 2009 to March 2010, to various locations as per the rate quotations agreed mutually between us. Accordingly, we had executed the transportation and delivered all their consignments, in safe and sound condition to various consignee destinations. As per acknowledgment received from the destination site we raised all the freight bills and invoice as per the rates agreed for which the total amount comes to Rs.9,24,000/- out of which they have made part – payment of Rs.1,50,000/- in 03 parts and balance principal sum of Rs.7,74,000/- has been withheld erroneously and dishonestly without assigning any reason thereof.
We in a good faith didnt bothered them as their financial condition was not well but we repeateadly reminded them of our outstanding to be paid and they asked us for some time. we even told them to pay as per your convineince.
Now the directors have closed the company and stopped answering or calls and mails they even changed thier address but we somhow managed to find their new address and it took us 2 years. we met one of the directors and asked her for payment of our outstanding dues she said we have lost everything so we cannot pay your dues write it off from your books. then we registered the case with aaple sarkar and sought police help even they clearly said we cannot do anything in this matter go to court.
The directors of the company are living lavish life having thier home and office in posh areas of pune.
please suggest us some way out to recover this dues as it is too old.
Thanks
Somesh

1. You will have to locate them for delivery of legal notice.
2. When did you get last payment, as the limitation will start from that date?
3. Contact, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for analyses, guidance and proceeding.
