Hi,
I have a client that is late paying their invoice. No surprise there! However, I was wondering how other's would respond to their response to my please pay email. Their response was;
"I’ve set this payment up to go out in early May - I need to wait for Graham to pay me before I can pay you and I’m not invoicing him until the end of this month."
So they are not refusing to pay, but I don't see why I need to wait for them to be paid first. I certainly wouldn't do it, and they did sign a contract agreeing to 15-day payment terms.
Please keep in mind I wish to stay professional and friendly with this client as they attend a lot of the networking meetings I go to, this is in fact how she ended up being a customer. At the same time, I just want it to be known I don't think this is fair.
Thoughts please
