Thanks for your concern and advice !
I didn't send anything official, once I realised the consultancy boss ( and paymaster ) was blanking me I just dealt with the agent who placed me and who still has an ongoing relationship with the consultancy. Pointed out a few things and that seemed to do the trick. I was digging in for a long battle but obviously pleased it has been resolved quickly and relatively pain free.

Good news.
I got to the stage once where I sent the final demand "I will take legal proceedings if you do not pay this invoice within 7 says" to the consultancy accounts department, copies to the home addresses of each director.
Got a cheque two days later. And it didn't bounce.

Good news indeed.
What prompted the payout? Did you actually send the letter or was it coming anyway?

It's 10Kish. A tricky figure in that lawyers will quickly eat it away. I've spoke to a solicitor mate and he advised do it myself for that reason. The problem is if costs on their side climb and you don't win a straight vistory. I've now properly read up on County V Small Claims etc
Gentle persuasion for a while yet !
Rang the bank and despite nothing in my account they confirmed a part payment is on it's way via BACS. Still no explanation of what is going on but things are looking up a little.

It's not a "them". It's a government backed website telling you the rules regarding late payments. There is no "service" on offer (at least there wasn't last time I looked)

If the amount is £5K or less, you can file a small claims court action for around £30
