Hello freelancers!
What do you do when a client doesn't pay on time?
I have a regular client, great to work for, but the accounts dept is terrible!
They have only paid me on time once and the rest of the time (10 invoices!) they just don't pay me. I let it go a week past the due date and then I email them, sometimes have to email 3 times and once even had to copy in the person I was working for to get them to pay me! It's beyond frustrating especially as I'm fairly quiet at the moment and really need the money on time!
I have asked time and time again if their payment terms are different to my 30 days and told them it is extremely frustrating chasing up each invoice until I'm paid. They often pay me 2,3,4, or even 5 weeks past my due date and with no apology. Eventually they send me a cheque or say "will pay this week" and they never answer my questions about their payment terms. Tearing my hair out with it! I'm starting to think they're doing it on purpose just to p* me off even more paranoid freelancer thoughts!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/help
