Still waiting on a $1,400 invoice from March, client keeps saying "next week"
Sent the final bill back in March for a fence job I finished in February. They've confirmed twice they got it, but every check-in gets a "next week" with zero follow through. Has anyone else had luck with late fees actually getting someone to move, or do you just eat the cost and move on?
Three months is a long time to keep hearing "next week" without even a partial payment... have you actually told them you're putting a stop on future work until this gets settled, or are you still just asking nicely? Because sometimes clients need to know there's a real consequence before they move you up their list... and late fees only work if you're actually willing to enforce them, which is easier said than done on a $1,400 bill.
