Have you ever had to deal with something unpleasant, and then experienced the relief when it is resolved in some way, especially in a positive way?<\/p>\n
Last week, I went to a VCAT hearing about outstanding payments from an ex-client.<\/p>\n
Background story: A client I thought was trustworthy requested various writing projects over a period of time but hasn’t paid me for them. This client has never indicated a problem with the invoices, but just hasn’t bothered paying – or asking for any extension or payment terms. Late last year, I sent statements with the message that although interest hadn’t been charged it would apply from January and further action would be taken if she didn’t respond by that time. She chose not to respond so I filed an application resulting in today’s hearing.<\/p>\n
