It's amazing how these things somehow work out even after so many months. I've had a client pay me over 2 years after he was supposed to - but only because he needed my help again. :) Hi Pamela,

I kind of dropped the ball on this. But I asked my Twitter network what to do. One told me to send the bill, with late charges added, by registered mail with a receipt requested. So that's the next step. I'll get around to it soon. Another told me that the "prudhomme" is an option, the French equivalent of small claims court. We'll see.. There's always the fan page... Thanks for stopping by! Hi Shaleen.

It is hard to not take it personally especially when we do the work. I have been in this situation oh-so-many-times. I guess I should learn better :) So, what did you end up doing? How far did you take this? I'm currently working on a startup to help freelancers around the world, and I would love to also know about some ways we can help them get paid - maybe a global debt collector? Best of luck with this client. Hope he pays. Hi Pamela,
