Had a client ghost me for 6 months on a $900 invoice.
Took me that whole time to realize I should've just filed a small claims case after 30 days. Has anyone actually gone to small claims over a small invoice like that?

... so funny you mention that because I had a buddy who went through almost the exact same thing... he had this client who owed him like $750 for some web work and they just went silent for months. He finally got fed up and filed in small claims and the guy showed up with a check in his hand before they even got to the judge. Said it was a "misunderstanding" but my buddy thinks he just wanted to see if he'd actually follow through. Court costs were like $50 so he came out ahead.

Misunderstanding" is right... pretty sure that's just code for "I was hoping you'd forget about it." I'd be the guy who pays the $50 filing fee and still somehow ends up breaking even after buying the judge a coffee or something.

Perfect timing from that judge's gavel. @garcia.cameron probably would have the filing fee paid before the clerk even stamps it.
