Client not paying up.
Ok, in a nutshell...
Done a disco and told the client that they drop the cheque in the post (big mistake, i know...lesson learned).
Anyway, nothing arrived in the post...which wasnt a biggie as I was having problems with Royal Mail. I messaged them via FaceBook to be told that they had posted it out. I requested that they cancel the cheque, and asked if they could post a second one via my parents.... they agreed.
A week later, nothing had came so i resent the invoice to them....nothing....when it became overdue i sent a copy and a polite reminder that itwas due and gave them an extta 7 days to pay.
Anyway, times up tomorrow....and ive heard nothing. My next step is to send copies of all correspondance and contract via recorded delivery with a letter threatening debt recovery action if they dont pay within the next 7 days.
What do you think?

www.moneyclaim.gov.uk - used three times, won three times. Tax deductible expense if you lose, they pay your costs if you win.

Have you spoken to them on the phone? In my experience putting people on the spot can work better than letters which can easily be ignored.

Or if they stay close by...drop in on them. It had the desired effect when I was owed money.

I was once told that if you we're owed money not to chase it by phone as it could be construed as harrassment....do everything in writing so theres a paper trail and you can prove what youve said.

Unfortunately not an option as they dont live local.
Out of interest i know that the statutory late debt compensation is £40. Is that applicable to private clients or only business to business?

Never heard of that before - have you a link to the info?
I know that businesses can charge 8% above base rate interest on debts. (Unless it's changed recently)

Although the link has answered my question....business to business only.

I ended up taking a client to County Court for a "cancelled" booking.
It's now gone the whole way and I've got a default ruling.
Used these guys and they did a great job
