How long do you wait before chasing an invoice for payment?

I wonder how much a couple of new tyres for their cars would cost them.

You're not suggesting anything dodgy are you? lol

Finally received a cheque last week. All it took was a strongly worded letter.

It gets my goat how some of these companys operate with a wall of silence.

I think that will be the last time I do work for any other charities!

Glad to hear they finally paid up Timbo, great news

I answered a call to a potential (now not so) customer today. Fair to say, I'd been having a bit of a struggle and wasn't at my most placid. This pancake flipper starts giving me the third degree about everything from scheme membership to insurance cover and beyond. I did my best to answer calmly even though he hadn't described the work at that point. Shortly after I'd made up my mind that if he offered me 2 years work at twice my day rate I'd tell him to stuff it as he really was an objectionable creature.

Anyway, the point and relevence to this thread is when he asked "Do you have a minimum charge?" I replied "Yes, I do." "Well what is it then?" he enquired "Four times the cost of recovering the debt if you don't pay." "Click. Burrrr."

Sarcasm with customers is never a good thing, but it set me thinking that 'many's the true word said in jest'. So now I have decided on a minimum charge
