What to do if you received a bad check as a freelancer, and purchased on behalf of the client?

Client ghosted after delivering results, no payment

If you have given everything away, there might be very little you can do. All you can do now is hope that the client for some reason returns. If that happens, you have some leverage you MUST use. This …

Client hasn't paid in full can I take down the site?

It seems you are being way to nice. This is a business relationship that either needs to be completely fixed or ended. Since there is no contract, but you have keys to the castle so to speak, it seems …

What is "midlancing", and what is the catch?

Having Google translated a few Dutch websites, it seems the term covers consultants who are still technically employed by a company from which they are paid a monthly base salary. If more monthly hour …

What should I do if my ex-employer refuses me to pay? I live in Ukraine and the company he p...

Client doesn't answer

Depending on how long the client has been unresponsive, you must now escalate matters by using more formal language. Don't merely repeat what you have already said and don't ask for payment; state tha …

Learning that my first bill will be paid after two months instead of one

I find it amazing that it has taken your headhunter a month to discover that the end-client would not be signing a document. However, it seems that the headhunter simply does not have the liquidity t …

Payments overly procastinated

Depending on your location, you might have options such as small claims court or some type of collections service. If you have only sent low-conflict emails, you need to escalate the issue. In my loc …

Client misled me on workload, and now I'm hosed

Client non-payment for client's client hosting (UK)

Paying another self employed person if we work together (UK)

Why would it be illegal? It seems you are buying a service (that you cannot provide) from your partner. Nothing wrong with that. Whether your company structure is optimal, is another matter that ve …

A client who ignored me for a year decided to contact me again. How do I ask for outstanding...
