I was in a short contract which had its fair share of scope creep and agreed units of work all of a sudden having no importance.
I was asked to create the DB and a digital agency with multiple employees were to create the public front end.
The end product is a DB + internal web pages which were all agreed, mainly in email correspondence.
To make a long story short, the client has done me the favour of putting my involvement on ice but stating both verbally and in writing (email) that the invoices will be paid.
I suspect that they'll want to go with the digital agency for what's left.
That was supposed to happen Monday last week (Client Co EoM) but when I asked if anything was missing for the payment to go through last Friday the MD expressed surprise, asking their Business Manager to look into it (cc). This is a tiny company and communication channels are simple.
I get a strong feeling that the MD is stalling things and would like to know what my options are.
As I am new to a situation like this, what can I reasonably do to put pressure on them paying up?
