Apologies to mods if this is the wrong place*
Hi everyone,
Firstly I wont be mentioning who the client is, but I would really like to hear some advice as to what I should do next...
I have done work for a small publisher who now owes me a small amt of money, but owes me all the same. Naively I did the work upfront on the promise that the work is regular - monthly. The invoice is over 30 days overdue (on top of 30days credit). Usually I'd negotiate with client (ie if they cant pay right now, Id come to some type of arrangement) but very annoyingly, the client has not returned calls, emails etc in nearly a month. I am assured the company is still is a tenant of the office block they reside in. I know this as I have left msg's at the reception which they assure me have been passed on. I know its not the office premises job to keep tabs on the client but they wont tell me if the client has been in the office anytime in the last month... The office phone/mobile never answers, the msg (previously saying welcome to blah blah blah leave a msg) has changed to (generic phone voice saying leave a msg).
Its been nearly a month since last email from client saying chq was going in the post....
Ive also sent a mail saying that I will be getting legal if I dont have any correspondance in a week. And guess what - no correspondance.
What do you all think?
