Me (hvac Contractor) Fighting With Vendor, Threatening To Report Us To The Roc In Arizona And Suspend Our License.
To make this loooong story just a little bit shorter, one of our vendors swiped my credit card for $18,000 without any approval from me first. They came in to do an inventory check for us in January on an consignment agreement we had, and after they charged our card I asked them to send an invoice, because once they left our inventory wasn't even restocked. After multiple tries on getting a good explanation and trying to get an invoice I never received the invoice or got an answer. So I went to amex and disputed the charge. Went in my favor and I got my money back. I let them know multiple times I'm more then happy to pay it but I have no idea what I'm paying for. I finally just got them to email me the invoice about 2 weeks ago and the 18k invoice has my forged signature on there. Now I just got an email from their lawyer saying that they will be filing a complaint with the Arizona registrar of contractor and requesting that my license be suspended until they are paid in full. Is that legal? What are typically the options here. I want to go to the ROC first and tell them what's going on because if I get my license suspended that'll obviously be a huge problem going into summer. How are these things typically handled?
