I've searched and read the old threads before anyone asks !!!
I'm having a problem with an unpaid invoice, I left the job 3 weeks ago, there was work to do but no money in the budget, I documented my work and handed over making it clear there was still work to do and why it wasn't possible to finish things at that stage.
My contract is direct to a small consultancy. No payment arrived so I started chasing via emails and unanswered phone calls. Still no direct contact but the agent who placed me has relayed some one liner emails that make no real sense but claiming some money is on it's way, but it's not arrived yet. The hazy reason for non payment appears to be the work has not been tested and signed off, which I know !
My vibe is the debt chasing outfits will be a waste of space in this case.
Has anybody out there personal experience of going down the legal route and serving a statutory demand and all that follows. After chatting to a solicitor mate, for the level of debt involved I'd be looking at doing this myself rather than through solicitors for the reason of costs and what I'd likely get out of it.
I'm in PCG+ and have spoken to the legal line but looking for other opinions. The agency £7,500 insurance for bust agencies is no good as I'm direct to a consultancy, so they've told me, I don' t think solvency is a problem at this stage but may be at some stage.
