    How can I get force a client who refuses to pay?
    I am trying to get paid for some engineering drawings that I did for my client. This work was completed about a year ago. I have billed and re-billed multiple times. He has said he can't pay me because he hasn't gotten paid. There was nothing in our verbal agreement to this effect. (No contract, but I have done other projects for him in the past. Normally get paid within 30 to 60 days after invoice. Now he does not even return my phone calls. What should be my next step. The amount he owes me is about $2000.00.
    Thanks,

    Bob

    Hello Bob:

    Sue him in small claims court. It's quick, cheap and easy. If and when you win, you'll be able to TAKE the money right out of his bank.
