Ask HN: I'm being stiffed by a client. What are my options?
Hi,
Long story short, I keep getting the run around from a freelance web development client and sometimes no response at all as to why my last invoice bill still has not been paid. Originally when we started working together we didn't sign any contractual agreement, just word of mouth and then I sent an invoice every month for billed work. I did get paid for a few months but then after that things went silent.
So what are my options now? I'd just like to get paid without having to pursue any sort of legal actions and put this behind me. But if legal action is needed what do I need to do?
