Fraser sues firm for not paying $933,000 bill

BANGOR, Maine — Fraser Papers Ltd. has sued a Michigan firm in U.S. District Court seeking payment for 1.8 million pounds of specialty paper manufactured at Fraser’s Madawaska facility and shipped to North Carolina between May 5 and June 2.

In the breach-of-contract lawsuit filed Monday, Fraser claims that Valassis Communications Inc. of Livonia, Mich., owes it more than $933,000 for the paper shipped to the firm’s Durham, N.C., facility. The Madawaska firm alleges that Valassis ignored its demands for payment in August and September.

Valassis is a direct mail and marketing firm, according to the lawsuit. The paper it ordered was to be used in retail inserts.

The lawsuit is asking a federal judge to order Valassis to pay the bill along with costs and prejudgment interest.

Valassis has 20 days to respond to the lawsuit after it is served with a copy of the complaint.

A trial date will be set after its answer has been filed in federal court in Bangor.

Sounds like someone who was downsized. It affected alot of people in the valley. Know two of personally. Still hate to see them get what they deserve because the valley would really suffer. Still I wonder sometimes how some of them can look at themselves in the mirror.

Fraser...the only place in the Valley where you can get 15.00 an hour to push a broom.
