Hi. I own a small designing company established 2 years ago.
Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a client who had a menu design job recommended by one of the friend. But, at the end of the project, they decided not to pay up. Yup, they decided that our designs were not “satisfactory” and “did not meet their expectations,” hence, nothing was given to us despite our late nights to rush and complete their job.
Throughout the whole 3 months they were either not picking up our calls, not responding to my emails or just plain avoiding us. I have all the email / SMS conversations and up front payments as proves of the project.
I have been advised by my friend to issue a legal letter for the action. But I was afraid if they even ignored my legal letter, what are the next step can I do?
Even if I bring this case to court, I was afraid the payment for lawyers is even expensive than my whole project's payment.
Please kindly advise.
If I were to do business in Malaysia, is it wiser to do an agreement between me and my client before committing the project? I heard from a friend saying that an agreement is your "Bao Zhang" or guarantee and even a fast track for the court to process things. Example like Sale & Purchase Agreement. Fees and Expenses will be same like Conveyancing calculation am I right?

My amount wasn't that much, but what really pissed me off is that this kind of businessman are taking advantages of the small company like us, especially in the field of designer.

Like that in reality, everybody with bad faith can bully small potato like Mr.Bibimomochan. As you know human doesn't have a standard moral and even they know it is wrong but they still do for the sake of love of $.
