If your owed money and they are overdue, you think they can pay but wont, you dont want to work fpr them anymore then I suggest to save costs.

Go online to https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/web/mcol/welcome

This is online court service.

If they are Limited register your claim with their registered address if sole trader register it against home address.

This being the reason that they may not notice you have done it and if they dont respond you can register a CCJ against them and send in baliffs.

It takes about 14 days plus 5 days service (post) and will cost you depending on debt very little.

Dont let them mug you off anylonger. Its your money you done the work and it should be in your bank.

You can go online and do it tonight all you need is the amount and a brief history of how it come to this situation. Save the invoices until you get to court which never happens.

Some say this is ruthless but I dont get out of bed and work for free and non payers need to stop taking the mick out of us who are just trying to get by.

Another option is a statutory demand

http://www.insolvencyhelpline.co.uk/legal_issues_explained/statutory_demand.php#WhatIsAStatutoryDemand

Its more of a bluff as it is costly to follow through. But if they owe the moeny fill in the form and make a big thing of handing it over it gives the company 21 days to respond with a good reason or the courts will wind up the company.

But you can always try this and if fails then go to small claims court as above.

Hi Dave,

I would also recommend www.moneyclaim.gov.uk

We've used it many times to great effect, even with the biggest of outfits. Noone likes a claim against their name, we've often had the cheque the same day.

Cheers,

Huw

How late is the payment, Dave?

The amount isnt important.  But the overdue date is.  Best practise is; Go and visit unannounced.  It doesn't matter who you meet initially, just get in to speak to the right people politely.  If they're not there then you go back, it depends on how big the debt, but you go back personally, and promptly, you may be getting in before the receivers do. 
Always politely, with all your paperwork intact, seek the person who issues the purchase order, seek the individual who authorises the work, seek the person who pays the cheque.  Follow this as far as you possibly can personally before you seek any other help.  Don't be fooled into thinking that paid legal or strong arm help wil be more diligent than you in seeking your rightful payment.  They too only want your money.
I have only lost £400 in 25 years.
