I've been in this situation before and done the same as Paul, it ended
up going to a small claims court and the client didn't even turn up
for the hearing. I got paid and the costs were covered by the client.

Hi Stephen
I had a similar situation about a year ago and in this case I had no
contract but just emails from the client agreeing on the cost for
the work.
Anyway I simply made a claim via
https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp and I won my case. It
was
really simple and will cost you nothing as you get all your costs
paid for
by the customer if you win.
I would be reluctant to take the site down as doing so will then
mean the
customer has nothing to pay for. By leaving the site up and running,
you
have fulfilled your obligations.
Anyway good luck!!
Paul

Subject: [Flashcoders] My rights - site not paid for.
What are my rights ( in the UK ) for taking down a site which has not
been paid for?
The owner of the company is happy with his site, but is not coughing
up.
I still have FTP access.
He says the site took too long, and makes lots of excuses for not
paying - which do not tally.
He changed the site drastically at least three times - I think it took
too long too, due to this.
He is updating the news section and other sections whenever he has new
material.
I would be interested in your thoughts.
This person won an award for being a top business man this year - is
this what you have to do to be a top business man - screw people?
I am not the kind of person to take this action really, but I may
consider it.
Thanks
S
