Huge mistake! No payment until my client is paid.
Maslins - thanks, much as I know I should’ve read it all again, it was a bit naughty, wasn’t it? But it’s interesting how you’ve said the same - that it’s probably not a deliberate plan to avoid paying me. I hope you’re all correct and I’m overreacting! Yes, I’ll allow a reasonable timeframe and...- Bruno123

Oh that’s really interesting, thank you. On this occasion it doesn’t bring up their client… but it’s made me think I could find other ways of investigating them directly. And that link will definitely help for future contracts. Thanks!!- Bruno123

Thanks ladymuck and BlasterBates … in fact, everyone who has taken the time to reply. Your comments have made me feel better! I guess the pay-when-paid thing isn’t that uncommon, and hopefully the “they can’t just deny being paid” thing is true. If they’d been upfront with the terms from the...- Bruno123

Thank you, oh yes, if I’d they’d asked me to sign a different version of the contract I would have checked all that of course. My mistake was to assume the “problem” at their end was inconsequential and I just needed to sign the same thing again. Not that they’d changed anything. Still my fault...- Bruno123

Yes, I promise that’s exactly what happened… email: “sent your contract for signing again as something went wrong before”. Hence my feeling that this is “off”, but NotAllThere could be right, it’s just for their own protection and that’s fine, if it’s true. I’ve checked the finances and yep, my...- Bruno123

Oh yes, I've got all the proof and I've asked the question so we'll see. It feels off but hopefully I'm wrong. Thanks for your advice though - appreciate it.- Bruno123

Thank you NotAllThere - I just assumed the worst, that it's an easy way to get out of paying me, as how could I ever prove/disprove they'd received the funds from their client? I've always steered clear of (or asked for a change to) "you're paid when we're paid" contracts before for this very...- Bruno123

Huge mistake! No payment until my client is paid.
Hi… I’ve made a big mistake, can anyone offer advice please? I took on a short contract with a small consultancy firm (I'd indirectly dealt with before) who in turn are working for a larger client. I read and was happy with the contract, I’d be paid within a week of submitting my invoices. I...- Bruno123
