Hi Tris - I'd definitely go down the path Cheryl suggests as you need some good solid proof that they've had the invoices. Assemble copies of all your correspondence with them so far, then I'd be looking at what used to be the 'small claims' court procedure, see http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/infoabout/claims/index.htm - providing what you're trying to get out of these toerags is below the limits, from what I can see you should be able to put the claim through online. Once again, the threat of court procedure may be enough. At least you're trying to get money out of a company in the UK - you stand a far better chance than we did going thru this a couple of years back, we were left being owed serious money by 2 clients one in Hong Kong, the other in Malaysia. We didn't have a hope.
Of course, there are always the debt collection agencies, who for a moderate fee will send two large guys & a slavering dog to sit in their reception area... Good luck...
