When a company is already late on payment (aka cash flow shortage during slow time), they "accidentally" print checks incorrectly and it's not even for the correct amount; I would be very suspicious. The fact that this has just started over the past 4 months is the give-a-way. The check's not any good until July so I would send it back. Did they even date it 2006? Or 2005?..lol.
I would also send them final notices on the invoices that clearly state your collection policy ..and once payment is received; cut them loose.
BTW, if you signed a contract with them, and it state's that they will pay you within 30 days; once they made the first late payment, they broke thier own contract. Just, fyi, in case you're concerned about it. |
