I keep a spread sheet next to my computer. When Im done with a closing I hand write on it date, company, file#, amt and when its due. I put the confirmation in a file folder for AR and when I receive payments both get matched up and crossed off and I shred the confirmation keep the check stub or a copy. This has worked really well for me. I don't rely solely on a computer. I use Quickens as well for invoicing etc.
We have all worked for the bad companies myself included. I get busy and sometimes they have caught me off guard while on the road. I have an invoice that is from Oct 31. I sent my demand letter and suddenly they call after many attempts to contact them. Payment being mailed today. Hmm we will see.
They are an Ohio company! Close to home I can go visit them, that might be interesting! I have never done that before. Has anyone on this forum gone to collect in person?
