have you contacted them about the bill? How many times and what methods have you tried to contact them?

I had a case where a client did not pay for a shoot I did for them. I sent them an invoice each month, a special letter with each invoice AND I called and emailed many times.

After 6 months I sent them a registered letter indicating that I would seek a Small claims court judgement against them. They paid up promptly then with apologies.

Don't just rush to court, the judges want to see that you made reasonable attempts to collect your money before you filed your claim.

I don't recommend the collection agencies unless you have a LOT of deadbeats or you have a judgement and only need to collect...and only use a collection agency if the amount is over Ten Grand.
