Re: SPAM-MED: RE: Witango-Talk: advice on how to get paid when client is reluctant

I just thought of another option. You could send a registered letter 
saying that
the invoice will go to a collection agency if you don't receive 
payment by a certain
date. Collection agencies have a lot of clout due to their ability to 
destroy your
credit rating.

Hello Norman,

You want to do this with as little cost to you as possible.

Create a letter demanding a payment by a certain date. If they owe 
you $1000.00 ask for 1/3 or ½ within 7 days of receiving the letter 
or the next step is court. Send the letter registered and keep a 
copy. This way if you go to court, you have proof that you tried to 
ask for payment before going to court. Small claims is the best bet. 
It’s not expensive to file and you don’t need a lawyer.

Kind regards,

Subject: Witango-Talk: advice on how to get paid when client is reluctant

Hi All,

One of my clients has not paid me for work done in September. I was 
wondering if anyone had advice as to
how I can persuade them to pay up for the work I've done.

They claim that hard financial times are the reason but now no 
longer answer emails or phone calls. They are actually still 
advertising for web developers (contract and FTE) so they obviously 
do actually have the money.

thanks
Norman Wheatley
