Default Re: Overdue Client Payments - Assistance Please

The way I work is that I consult with my clients to see what OHS system they need, then provide them with a quote including a deposit, payment terms of 7 days and details of the work involved.

All went well with this client and I met with him in person to review the plan. There was no problem, a deposit was paid and the project was started.

As he was just starting his business I agreed to a monthly repayment plan. He paid quickly on the first invoice however communication from him ceased about 5 weeks ago. I sent another invoice 2 weeks ago and have still had no communication from him.

I know he is still around as he now has a website up and running and despite my pleasant phone calls and follow up emails, he is not communicating with me. He owes quite a substantial amount of money and I am not sure what to do next. I have not sent him any more documents until I hear from him.

I operate an honest business and feedback from my clients is excellent. This is causing me sleepless nights and my stress levels are growing daily.

Can anyone assist me?
I'd be heading to Prushka or another debt collection agency. The longer you wait, the harder it is to get recourse.
