Facebook blackmail to pay your accounts. Okay or not?
11 November 2019
My company recently bought products from a local store. They sent the invoice, but the invoice details and VAT number... was incorrect and we asked them to correct it as our bookkeeper said we can’t pay until a correct invoice was received. In the meantime we now see that the store started posting comments on Facebook saying our business was bankrupt and that we don’t pay our accounts and people should stay away from us. I contacted the store to remove the posts, but they refused and said they would only do so when we paid their account. Surely this is completely unacceptable conduct! What can we do?
