A Portsmouth junk removal company finally got paid after months of chasing down what they were owed, thanks to some help from investigative reporters. Melynda Tilley, who runs Juggernauts Junk Removal, had been hired by the property management at Beacon 303 at Olde Town back in December, but getting her payment turned into quite the ordeal. When Tilley and her crew first showed up at the Portsmouth property on December 5th, she says the scene was absolutely terrible — mountains of trash and debris that made for a massive cleanup job. Her team returned on December 19th to find the situation hadn't improved much, making their work even more challenging than expected. Despite completing the job, Tilley found herself stuck waiting for payment that just wasn't coming. That's when she reached out to the local news team for help. Sometimes it takes a little media attention to get businesses to do the right thing and pay their contractors. After the news investigation got involved, the property management company finally came through with the payment they owed. It's a reminder for local contractors to keep good records and don't be afraid to seek help when clients try to skip out on legitimate bills.
