I was complaining to a friend that a certain local company owes me a few hundred bucks since last year and I am tired of chasing for what's due to me. My friend replied in surprise, "You mean they haven't closed shop yet?"
You see, this company has such a bad reputation locally but I believed in them (at first) because they were pretty good paymaster. I guess back then, the amounts owing were small. My friend said that they dragged my payment this time probably because they have yet to receive payment from their client but what has that got to do with me? Isn't it better business practice to fork out money from their own pocket first to settle us? I guess not for them.
Although the money they owe me is not of a great sum but it's still money and I like to be paid for the work that I have done, at the price that we have agreed upon, and it makes no difference to me if the amount is big or small.
I guess there is nothing that could be done except to chase for the money but I really loathe wasting time and energy chasing for payment when it should be automatically paid out to me in a timely manner in the time frame that was agreed upon.
