Have a customer who I did some work for, not a huge job. Wrote up 2 different proposals for the 2 separate projects done at different times. The total for everything came to $330.00. Now, I know that's not a ton of money, but it's mine and honestly I'm insulted that it has gone this long. The reason is quite simple-I painted, she told me she was broke. She told me Friday. I called Friday. She told me Wednesday. I called Wednesday. She told me Friday. I called Friday...
....answering machine....this is when I almost lost it, but tried to keep it somewhat cool. I left a message saying that I needed my money now, that I had waited long enough, and that if she did not pay me soon I would have to take her to court. That was this past Friday.
I did the work May 12th.
A. Was I wrong for telling her I'd take her to court? Wifey says that was to harsh and now she definitely won't pay.
B. Had wifey get the form for small claims, I'm in the middle of filling it out. What do I do from this point? You think I should give her more time or send the form right away?
I'm sure some of you guys have been through this. Again, I know it's not a huge amount, but I'm in the middle of some big things and need all the funds I can get and then some. Plus, this is a first and I'm super insulted.
Thanks for listening
