i Earned It!!!

i have worked for this company three times. The first time was wonderful. My bosses were very helpful, they understood their employees (there were only two of us at the time), but it was a very rewarding experience. I learnt a lot, and very quickly discovered that I have a talent for tel-communications. Things ended a bit badly, but some years later, the bosses phoned me and asked me to return. I agreed, and was there for a short time. And then things were said about me, I was getting blamed for a lot of things and eventually I quit in the middle of the day. Some time after, I was called again to come work for them. That should have been a red flag, but I needed work and so, again, I agreed. For the first few months, things were really good. I was making target, I was helpful, I even apologized for the past. And then, they short paid me. I was told I would get the rest at the beginning of the new month. It was almost the end of the current month, so I let it slide. The new month started and I never got paid. I tried being nice, but to no avail. I eventually lost it and complained to someone in charge. I was immediately dismissed. The manager actually grabbed the phone out my hand while I was speaking to a client, told me to pack my things and threw me out. Luckily, I had a good backup team to assist me and I was rehired the next day. The end of December came, and there was still no money. And all seven of us girls were asking nicely, only to be told we would be informed later. And not by the company. By lawyers And then the company closed down. And we were jobless. And had not been paid. And we were being ignored. It has been a year now. And they are reading my messages, but ignoring me. The lawyers have not spoken to us. The company has been sold. I have taken the issue to the labor department, but they cannot help unless I can get an address for my former employers, which, as you can imagine, isn't happening. It's like they are running away. Everyone says forget about the money. The other girls have. I refuse to. I earned that money fair and square and I put myself into a very serious financial position by waiting for it. And it's not a small amount to me. R7200 might not mean much to some people, but to me, that is my ticket to clearing some of the heavy debt I have acquired because Bexnetwork stole from me. And I am seriously disappointed, hurt and disgusted. I feel incredibly let down. If anyone has any advice, or can assist me with getting my money from these people, I would really appreciate it. I don't see why I should suffer because they couldn't care less.
