Double Broker Question
I have never had to deal with a double brokering situation (knock on wood). However, I have a client that recently received a collection demand on a shipment that they received that was part of a double brokering situation. They asked for my help. Here is the situation:
My Client is the receiver of the freight.
The shipper was the party that was responsible for arranging transportation and paying freight charges.
The shipper used Broker A to haul the freight.
Broker A invoiced the shipper and the shipper paid Broker A.
The shipper invoiced my client for the freight as well and my client paid the shipper.
Broker A double brokered this to Broker B.
Broker B never paid the carrier that hauled the freight.
Broker A paid Broker B.
The collection firm went to Broker A who refuses to pay stating they paid the party they did business with.
The collection firm went to the shipper who says they refuse to pay because they paid Broker A.
The collection firm went to my client and said if no one pays that my client is legally responsible.
What is the real deal on something like this?? Please let me hear your thoughts!!🙏
