sandim is an unknown quantity at this point
Hmmm, all good points. We do have a different client that frequently pays late, BUT they always pay, and give us lots of work, so no true complaints, I know with them it's par for the course.
My biggest problem with this client is that we know for a fact they have friends we work for because they referred us to them. I do like many of the ideas afore mentioned, I am just on the fence about sending a letter out to clients who always pay on time.
My problem is that I let it go on too long last year. BAD ME!
What do you all think about just starting off on a good foot hoping for the best, and if payment becomes an issue again, then sending out a letter stating that late payments are not tolerated and all work will be suspended until payment is received. If they end up having to receive another letter, firmer terms and a warning for account termination will follow.
