The very best way to deal with this, is in the code. If I am not sure
about a client, or if a large project where the client is hosting
somewhere other than my servers, I use code. Hide a method with a
EXPIRE function. If the date is later than a certain date, the app
stops working. When they pay up, you remove that code. If they don't
pay, or cut off access to their servers, the code will stop working. I
have actually had to enforce this 2x with some very large customers,
and it works. Unless they have some guru that can go through the code
and find it. You should also write into the agreement ahead of time,
that the code is YOURS until they pay for it, so this trick is
perfectly legitimate.

Hi All,
One of my clients has not paid me for work done in September. I was
wondering if anyone had advice as to
how I can persuade them to pay up for the work I've done.
They claim that hard financial times are the reason but now no
longer answer emails or phone calls. They are actually still
advertising for web developers (contract and FTE) so they obviously
do actually have the money.
thanks
Norman Wheatley
