- Make a negative BB entry right away.
- Make sure you have proof of chasing the client, by email, phone, whatever.
- Write a final demand letter including all the details and stating that you will make a direct court claim against them if they don't pay by xx.xx.xxxx or within x days from letter.
- Prepare an additional invoice using this website to calculate the late payment interests: http://late-payment-law.co.uk/calculator.html. It also gives you the correct wording for your invoice.
- Send your final demand letter and late payment interests invoice by recorded delivery (not email).
- If appropriate, also make a compliant to any professional bodies they may belong to - and put this in your letter, along with the link to the negative BB entry.

Good luck,
Laura
