Client Won't Pay

Of course it works. Every Friday I have thousands of dollars worth of declined payments that I have to go chase. Every friday I dial them over and over again - sometimes 5 6 or 7 times in a day each. You need some leverage - threaten to take the site down, even if you don't plan on doing on.

She has two websites, one which she never let me know about at all.

The one I ranked, according to her is her old site, however the contract states this domain in it.

The other domain is a new site, nothing been done to it, doesn't even rank in the top 100.

So basically she wants the work doing on the other domain before she pays, I suggested a 301 redirect however she tells me she wants to keep her old domain aswel. I'm not doing work for a site that isn't in the contract

I'd send her the contract with the site highlighted via Fedex or some other overnight service.

Then call her 5 minutes after you get the P.O.D. and explain what the contract reads as to which site.

Should she not comply at that time (I'd appeal to her sense of right and wrong), I'd do the phone call thing as people pay just to stop the annoyance of a bunch of calls daily. Be prepared to accept 80% or something to put this to bed so you can move onto better waters.

If you are not into that, sell the debt or hire a collection agency to handle that aspect for you. You'll only get partial payment but you'll get paid.

As to the billboard idea or creating other properties to try and collect or to bust her stones that is throwing good time and money after bad and would not do that.

The only reasonable thing to do now is kill her.
