Any advice gratefully received. I did some freelance work for a few months up to Christmas. I resigned from the "job" mainly because the woman who contracted me was a nutter!. I discovered that she had a terrible reputation with the company and was known to be a difficult woman. I therefore decided to just get out!. I was supposed to give 1 months notice which I was prepared to do but under the circumstances I thought it best that I leave within a week. She agreed to this, although rather begrudgingly. I didn't leave her short staffed BTW as they had entered a quiet period anyway.
However she has not paid my final invoice. Is she entitled to withhold payment because I didn't work the full month? I sent a chase letter and an email asking for payment within 7 days, both have been ignored. What do you think? is it worth going through small claims? Some of the money I'm owed is expenses i.e. petrol/parking that she agreed to pay.
TIA lmb
