Hello. I make t-shirt designs and have had a shop with a website for 5 years. Without warning they shut my shop and they cancel all current orders, around 100. I can understand the cancelling orders. However they will not respond to any correspondence via email, forms or social media. I have not had a single reply from them in over 3 weeks. They have not paid for the previous month.
They usually pay on the 15th. This would be 3 weeks before closing the shop where it's almost certain those orders are sent and paid for. I have sales emails per sale and there are around 200. I'd be owed around $300. They have also broke their own terms not paying on the 15th. The frustration with their no reply policy is leading me to want to take legal action, but I'm not sure I can or afford to.
- Can I take them to the monies claim website "MCOL" or is this only for UK based companies? If not, is there anything else I can do?
(Incidentally they shut my shop due to DMCAs. A form of copyright take down which they do not adhere to fully. I file counter claims as companies almost always claim parody work they should not. Although a grey area the company is question 100% do NOT send counter claims to the claimer, which is not legal in itself but not something I don't need to go into, but I am trying to explain I'm a legitimate artist and well known in the design community, not one of those dodgy rip off/image thieves)
Any help if appreciated, as you can imagine not only have I now lost a lot of monthly income, for them not to reply once is extremely frustrating and I think ridiculous for a company to do. From what I can gather they do this to everyone.
