I'm sure each of you has been burned for some $$$ at least once, I've personally been burned a few times. I'm now fighting with an adult company AGAIN for advertising payment that has been owed to me for over 2 months.

I'm wondering if hiring a collection agency to go after companies that refuse to pay is a good idea or not.

On one hand I stand a better chance of getting money that is owned to me. On the other hand I fear it could burn bridges in the industry.

What do you think? Using collection agencies in this business, good or bad?
