How to collect default invoices?


Customer can not pay invoices what to do?

Sue in small claims court. Go down to the Marion County Small claims on Keystone (at like 65th st), and file. Only costs a couple of bucks.
If you win judgement, you can get attachment of wages.

small claims court! You can contact some local collection agencies also to have them collect, they usually will bill the other party for their fees, not sure if you have to pay up front though. Have you written a court threat yet? You might contact the credit bureaus also (Equifax etc.) and see what they suggest. Good luck!

You need to determine if the customer cannot pay, or will not pay. It might be that the customer could make payments over time, return what they bought, give you something in trade, etc.

If this isn't possible your recourse depends on what it was you sold them. If you are a contractor, you can file a lien against the property you worked on. But if you provided some personal service like mowing the lawn, your resource is limited to small claims court.

Small claims court takes time. Figure 45 days minimum to get a judgement, and then you have to go after them to get it paid. It helps if you know where their bank is because you can garnish their checking account (do it right before the first of the month when the most money is there) and wages.

There are some situations where the customer is a dirt bag and knew they weren't going to pay you. While it hurts to lose a few hundred bucks to someone like that, sometimes chasing them will cost you more and get you nothing. Examine the sitaution carefully before you decide what to do.
