    Just sent a pretty forceful sounding / legally threatening email to a client that still owes me a couple of grand. 4 months overdue invoice, all kindly worded follow up emails totally ignored. Spoke to him on the phone a few weeks back, said he’d pay by the following week but never did. Just taking the piss now, and I’m angry.

    Give me my money, then they’re getting blacklisted for good. There’s more work to be done for this client (and I’m letting them think things will continue) but I’ve decided I won’t be doing it. I don’t want to work with people that have zero respect for what I do. I have the authority to say no, take your business with maybe payment elsewhere, and I plan to use it.

      When I did mobile therapy, I had some many people get lax with their payments. This was before OSKO and payID. I had someone I’d been to visit four times take another six weeks after that to pay me. I think they only got their shit together when I started calling every second day to ask when payment was. THEY got pissy at me for pestering them for work done. We dropped each other after that.

      I have so much experience debt collecting, lemme know if you’d like me to freelance for you 😂 I got legislation and regulations burned into my neurons.

      That is the right call tho, no more work for them!
