They have owed me £115 since October 2006, it's not enough to call in the debt collectors is it? First they said they lost the invoice, then the 'man' to sign the cheques was on holiday and it's excuse after excuse. I have been polite but it's not getting me anywhere. Should I threaten them, if so then what do I say to make them sit up and pay, any ideas please?

1. Visit the top boss of the organization with polite request.
2. Visit the front desk/reception and start making noise to ask the accountant to come out and pay your debt.
3. Visit the top boss in his chamber - peck up some thing from his room which would be equivalent to the debt. Make sure to pick up some thing where ownership can never be proved.
4. Send representative to that office everyday.
All the best........

Tell them that if they do not pay you what is rightly owed to you within fourteen days you will go to the small claims court. You will have to pay for the services of the courts, but the amount you pay will be added to their costs. And do it don't just threaten them do! it it is not difficult. You must make sure that you have all the relevant information for when you go to fill in the Claims form.
Good Luck.

A bit of a threat is enough to make them cough up. I started my own business a year ago(hurrah!), and had the same trouble with two companies. It was enough to even hint at a threat, that they took me serious enough and found that I wasn't to be messed around with. They paid up very quickly, lest they got a bad reputation. And with one of them I threatened a visit from 'Jim and Bob'. The wife of the guy who owed the money, couldn't write the cheque quick enough!
I don't know a Jim and Bob!

Try the small claims court, there is one here in the UK. I suggest you take proof you the goods & services you provided were accepted by the customer.

Small claims court, but you have to weigh up the cost of this and decide if its really worth the aggravation

do you have a "Small Claims Court" like we do here in the US? It's for Sums under $5000
