Send wrong amount in invoices for a few months.

[Solved!]

Hi guys,

First of all, thank to all of you that helped me on this, as my first year contracting I still have plenty of stuff to learn and be aware of, and thanks to this post, I now visit the forum in regular basis to keep me updated.

Anyway, the company finally paid me off.

After the 1st reminder letter, they told me they will pay me at the end of the month, and it happened! (apparently the COO and the lawyer were still arguing about it!)

The thing is in this last month while I was waiting for this company to pay me, another agency just overpaid me about £1300! I also managed to solve that very quickly, I just contacted them about the issue, and send them a transfer for the exceeding amount. No hassle, quick and painless.

So in less than 3 months I've been in both sides, being overpaid and underpaid xD I must say I've been way more efficient that the other company in solving this out.

Again, thanks!

You totally forgot to check your invoices for 7 months? That is just totally irresponsible and beggars belief to be honest. Unfortunately a word with your client and an invoice to cover the missing amount will probably cover it so you should be ok.

... or is the quality of sockie troll going down hill? 4 today and counting.

This can happen incredibly easily. I've had clients who look at my invoice and sent the net amount rather than the total including VAT and if you use a standard invoice template it's hardly THAT surprising someone could be in a routine to just fire off an invoice each month unless they updated the template the moment the rate was agreed.

It IS daft, but people do daft things all the time. I work with two clients and always have to triple check I'm sending the right invoice to the right client!

You would be the man to ask about that.

Hi all,

Today I sent the 1st reminder letter, as it was 30 days ago since I gave them the invoice. I had two other letters in case they were necessary, but this is the answer I got this morning.

"Hi Raul,

Thank you for your reminder. **** said we can settle this invoice in this month’s bacs payment run, which will be around end of May. Is this date OK with you?

Kind regards"

It seems I wont have any problem with this, but I will update you once everything it's final.

We like outcomes, so thanks.

In that case I stand corrected and you may wish to delete that from your earlier posts to avoid anything popping up when someone does some research in advance of anything legal happening?

You too have quoted the company name...LOL

Sure, thanks for that. I've changed my original post, but I guess every user should amend the quotes on their answers? Shoudln´t this be dynamic? lol

I'm guessing that there was some currency conversion going on here with that reference to "bill xxxx correctly" Is that the case? Or is "XXXX" the company in question?

Yes, XXXX is the company name.
