Hello, I had a form of merchant processing agreement with a Quebec based firm AlertPay. Roughly 6 months ago they had terminated the agreement and are now claiming that all my remaining balance with them has vanished. Rather absurd that they would neither owe me a cent nor I owe them. I asked them several times to provide documents of the itemizations which have been ignored. I would like to pursue them in a civil dispute for the balance remaining when the account was closed (roughly $2,000) plus legal fees and interest. Do we stand a chance?

Hello,
First off, I would be wary about calling any company fraudulent off the bat. There are legal implications in the word fraud.
Secondly, you can pursue them in small claims court for any amount under 7000.00 if you reside in Quebec.
Best of luck,

Just to clarify, you can go through Small Claims only if your company has 5 employees or fewer. As for the question "Do we stand a chance?", that would depend on how well your contract and claim are documented.
