Hi Ben,

They're a large company in New York, and are not poor (and they're still after more freelancers) so they have plenty of money.

I'll try the letter and small claims court

thanks!

Norm

If you have a lawyer, have him draft a scare letter.
basically it is a letter from a lawyer on the aspect of them not paying. 
it doesn't threaten lawsuit, but, well you get the picture.
this will sometimes scare them into paying

if it is over the small claims court amount you can take it farther, but this might force them into bankruptcy and then you loose a bunch

you might try asking if they can pay small amounts monthly to pay it off

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
