you guys are lucky. Here such practices don't work. The bigger the company (those with accounting department), the worst the situation. I always write payment terms on my invoices (generally 30 days end of month), but most of the time those guys do whatever they want. For instance, I got paid on dec. 15 2004 for a work I did in august... The latest trick I had to face (10 days ago) in order to delay payment, was to send me a cheque by post, but to make a mistake in the address... and the client is a big agency with more than 100 employees...
