Back Charges

Did the contracts you were under at the time, have a "Time Is Of The Essence" clause?

Was your work done under the previous contract agreement or the newer one sided one?

If the old one and you did sign the newer one also, did the newer contract state that any previous agreements were subject to the new terms?

Just because it says something in a contract does not make it legally binding.

Each clause must provide for both parties in one way or another.

It sounds like the dollar amounts at stake are high, not only for you, but other contractors as well. A unified lawsuit might split the legal fees, but everyone needs to be determined and in agreement with which outcome they demand to wait for.

If you are now out of business, do you have any funds to pay for an expensive drawn out litigation?

I will look up cases about Back-Charges, because I never encountered any situation like yours before.
