I believe that one must put in a reasonable faith effort to resolve matters personally. When the effort has been exhausted and not bared fruit, then it's time to lawyer up, as long as you can afford it.

There are several ways to approach this:

1. At the absolute minimum, the OP retains a lawyer for under 1000 USD, who will send a demand letter to Paxum stating that they have been retained to collect X monies owed. Such letters will allow the defendant to resolve the matter without going to court by paying the original money owed plus the initial out-of-pocket cost of retaining the lawyer.

2. Should the OP not successfully collect all the monies owed by way of that letter, the OP will need additional funds for the lawyer to prepare and submit a formal complaint with the court. In the complaint, the lawyer may ask the court to require the defendant to reimburse the OP for their legal expenses. Furthermore, the lawyer may ask for various damages to be added on: incidental, compensatory, consequential, punitive, nominal, and liquidated.

3. Same scenario as above, but should the OP find other Plaintiffs, they can share the expenses, and the case may convert to that of class action.

Many of you state that this case is "only" about X USD being owed the OP. The reality is, it can cost PAXUM substantially more to resolve it. Should this case be filed with the court, it becomes a public record. PAXUM may not want it to be public knowledge that others existed who also had issues with PAXUM.

The OP must be well organized and visually demonstrate by way of documents and orally articulation what their complaint against PAXUM is exactly.

Good luck!
