you’re basically
❌ Disrespecting their work and time

If you have invoices that are unpaid, push as hard as you can to get them sorted out before Nov 10
Once we're close to Black Friday, agencies and brands are swamped and getting you paid is going to fall to the bottom of the list

Someone said they’ve been chasing an invoice for 5 years. That’s just unacceptable. When you are a small business / creator you can feel almost powerless when chasing payments from government or corporates. What measures can anyone take in this case?

It's true! The deck is stacked against freelancers when chasing money they are owed.
Good news is that we've found that large companies are fairly responsive when we've gotten involved on behalf of our customers. Sometimes it just takes a push from a third party to get their
Chasing large companies with multi-million pound turnovers for my late, unpaid invoices is not a good use of my time. And it’s astonishingly unfair. Almost every layer of influence and power is loaded against the freelancer.
