I basically did my demand letter as a final invoice (4th one I sent to them in over 3 months. It worked--they paid. As my buddy used to say, "if you're going to point a gun, you have to be prepared to shoot it." If you don't receive payment by the due date, don't send a 5th invoice, just start pursuing collection efforts, and fax to CA Sec'y of State.
