Sounds like the OP is making an assumption... unless of course they actually did say "we're not paying and you can't do anything about it because you've already done the work."
sorry, i thought i covered that. they have stated basically they aren't paying and too bad for me but to put it online and distribute the rdps, and also can you look at a couple of our people's laptops and check them out and bring them up-to-date if they need it. the audacity has become incredible. i couldn't make this stuff up. i wouldn't have brought this whole thing up unless they didn't say they wouldn't pay, i just wouldn't have done biz w/ them again and gave them what they paid for, but since they have said they won't pay and too bad to me, that is why i am pondering the wiping of the hdd since i got them empty. basically i acquired all the pieces through their means, which i do not want - they will get that stuff back, i put the puzzle together.
Something about your story doesn't make any sense at all. Your account of the whole thing is too vague to tell if they are doing anything wrong. Would you be able to post a recount of the exact conversations you had with them, as best as you can remember it?
1. when they agreed to pay you, and when the amount was discussed
2. when they said "too bad for you"
If it's as simple as you say, the whole situation is under your control. You have their domains, you have their server. You don't have to give anything to them if they are not willing to pay you for it. Why do you still have their server, are they expecting you to run their server for them, from your home office? It sounds like that's the case since they asked you to distribute the RDP's. In any case you have every thing they need and all you have to do is insist that they pay or you will cease to provide all services and withhold their domains. Take a backup of the server so that if they decide to pay you can quickly get them back to where they need to be because the point is not retaliation, just receiving payment for services rendered.
Sorry I'm fascinated by this it just seems so straightforward. There has to be something you are leaving out of the story here. Tell us what it is.
