| First thing you do is let them know that they have 30 days to pay the invoice that I just resent them. That is the law you have to give them a date to pay too. I would also tell them that I will be taking actions if they don't pay you and leave it at that. If they still don't pay... I would tell you have 3 actions (name them) and you I will take them. You then give them another 30 days to pay with this statement You will take them to court. Small clams court is where You can sue for all you costs and late fees- court costs-gas-time loss. That can happen where you live because that is where the job took place at. If you were paid before you now you should have their Bank account information. Every day they are late add a fee until you go to court. You decide how much information you tell the person you are collecting from. But you demand with a deadline and a threat and follow through. If more people did this stuff the chances of people not paying would be very low. Go to your court house and check it out get the court papers. Find out how they can be served. If the person does not live in your town ask if you can send a letter by certified mail. Good Luck. Remember you have to give them notice that they have a deadline and what you will do if they don't pay. Good luck. |
