| Aug 26, 2017 at 10:43 | comment | added | idmean | "they can delay a long time if they want" That entirely depends on where the OP is. (Or have they stated that?) | |

| Aug 26, 2017 at 1:20 | comment | added | Xavier J | Look - You pay your small claims fee down at the courthouse. The judge does the job required, and rights up a judgement. You move on. This isn't about worrying about who will laugh or not. This is about putting food on the table. | |
| Aug 26, 2017 at 1:16 | comment | added | Chris E | @XavierJ I'm speaking practicality not technicality. You're going to get laughed at if you sue someone who's at 30 days when they're Net 10. | |
| Aug 25, 2017 at 23:24 | comment | added | Xavier J | "they can get away with 90 days before you would sue them" <-- no. If they have agreed to specific payment terms, anything outside those terms is a breach. | |

Before going to court, sending two letters, one by certified mail and one by regular mail stating "Final notice" and adding a line like "Before additional steps are taken" may get them to move, or not, but it's something that can work and maybe save legal fees. | |
| Aug 25, 2017 at 18:34 | comment | added | John K. | Before going to court, I would suggest just having a lawyer send an official letter to the company stating that they should pay or the next steps would be going to court. Or you could draft one up yourself and print two copies, have a notary witness you sign both of them and stamp it. Then keep one for your records and send the other certified mail so they have to sign for it. That way you have some documentation that you notified them. | |
