I was checking my old accounts lately and noticed that I have two non-payments for work done with a company. I am a freelancer so it is not easy to keep tab on payment but I do remember that my work was handed in at the end of 2008. I should have been paid in early 2009 and I did write in to them regarding my payment but that was two months ago!
I told a friend about this problem; he asked me for the amount and I told him that one is $200 and the other is $300. He said that these are just small amounts. Granted but does that mean that the company does not have to pay me? Does that mean I don't have to collect my money?
I may sound like I am hard up for the money but it's a matter of principle to me. We have agreed on the price for my work and they should fulfill their side of the agreement, don't you think so, even if it's just $50 or even $5, and not $500.
As you could tell, I'm pretty pissed off with them though not to the point of sending Collection Agencies after them. I may do so if this continues to drag on. I'd then blog about my experience so that everyone knows about it. Hell hath no fury like a blogger scorned!
