Hi Stephen I had a similar situation about a year ago and in this case I had no contract but just emails from the client agreeing on the cost for the work.
Anyway I simply made a claim via https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp and I won my case. It was really simple and will cost you nothing as you get all your costs paid for by the customer if you win. I would be reluctant to take the site down as doing so will then mean the customer has nothing to pay for. By leaving the site up and running, you have fulfilled your obligations. Anyway good luck!!

What are my rights ( in the UK ) for taking down a site which has not been paid for? The owner of the company is happy with his site, but is not coughing up. I still have FTP access. He says the site took too long, and makes lots of excuses for not paying - which do not tally. He changed the site drastically at least three times - I think it took too long too, due to this. He is updating the news section and other sections whenever he has new material. I would be interested in your thoughts. This person won an award for being a top business man this year - is this what you have to do to be a top business man - screw people? I am not the kind of person to take this action really, but I may consider it.
