If you don't have any priors... and you kick in a door with a bat(drama)
 

You know I don't really get in front of the camera much these days. But when I do I expect to be paid for my work.

Long story short....
My agent guaranteed I would be paid. It's been over a month and I've pretty much been told to fuck myself. So I'm contemplating going down to their place with a bat and kicking in the door and getting my money the old fashioned way.

I'm in the UK and I'm wondering what's the worst that can happen to me.
I tried asking a cop and all he could say to me was, "Ms. you don't want to do that because it ilegal and not very lady-like."

(Thanks for telling me what I could be charged with. I can't tell you how many times I laid awake at night wondering if kicking doors in was proper behaviour for a lady.)

So I'm going to call an lawyer later today. But I thought, what the hell.... The posters on GoFuckYourself have always been a source of wisdom and information.

If the people on here aren't working out Einstien's theories...
Then they are talking about new medical advances in surgery and examining the work of plastic surgeons on Brazilian trannies.

you can be shot & killed in the USA.

not sure about UK.

a slap on your ass cheeks :-)

Which was a main reason why I didn't do that when Extreme Associates owed me money. Let's just say I considered it back then.... but that entire crazy, most likely got a gun thing kept me in check.

no record, probation...

You should check your agent! Lady should always get paid to do work, even if it did not turn out as planed, the work was done and the paperwork signed.

Well if you did not get paided, the 2257 is no good, and they cannot use your stuff. Consider that end and taalk to an attorney

It was my agent that isn't paying me. Not the production company.. I'm now chasing after the producer.

Well I'm in the UK so 2257 doesn't apply. But yes I should be paid and in a timely fashion. Man... I just moved to the UK and I'm not trying to be a bitch or make enemies. (I know I've kicked a few asses on here)

But shit....
Am I expecting too much from the British industry? Because everyone I talk to is like "Oh well.. Walpole is like that. But they are nice people"
(*sorry but I don't need friends that owe me money*)

And on a slightly related side note... I understand "the rude ugly american tourist" from the american's point of view.
You just want people to take their job seriously and give you some service. And this is exactly the problem I'm getting in my situation. No one is doing thier job.

breaking and enterring ?
criminal damage
section 4 / threatenning behavior

i mean you will probably end up with a record and fines thats gonna cost you more than the fee

why not just blow up his car or something

If you kick in a door with a bat, you have more serious problems --- namely, you have a bat for a leg.

What if someone takes the bat away from you and just smacks you with it? I think you need to reconsider this idea.

I think you should go for the money
who is this producer, name him/her

Well I'm not going to kick in the door or threaten anyone with a bat.

BUT I REALLY WANT TO!

And the producer paid the money to the agency...
That's why this is sooo fucked up about this. I have no beef with the producer and I'm being forced to go back to their door to settle this.

You'll be sitting in the can next to George Michael.

:1orglaugh

UPDATE:
I've pulled the story on my site in good faith because I've been told I can pick up my money on Tuesday.

It appears I don't have to go L.A.P.D. on anyone to get my money

Glad it all worked out.

BTW, its almost always better to hire muscle than it is to be the muscle. Get a little hoodlum from the hood to do this for you.

Good thing you got it worked out..jail isn't a place for a lady

Hahaha... that's what I was just thinking as well. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Because that takes years.
Busting in a door is seconds and paid in moments.

My trial for busting in the door could take years. My penality plea bargained away with time served.

See....
Violence can be a solution... If used properly.
