RussellHall said:Timely post Greg, had a call today and they went into depth into their current situation. They are owed nearly £500K from their major end client and have had to lay off staff in the short term till it's paid, and they can pay their suppliers. I do feel for them but wish they could have been upfront about the situation earlier rather than ignoring my emails.
Still, doesn't change the fact that my payment is their responsibility so I'm sticking to my guns and crossing fingers it's sorted soon.
Yep agree, time is money, so regardless of material costs the time spent is time lost if payment doesn't come through and leaves a rather big whole in my finances (Not helped by another payment gap due to xmas).Most people don't understand that although there have been no material costs to the designer, many hours of hard work and blood, sweat and yup tears have gone into the work you have produced.
I kind of have, it all depends if the end client pays up and I have no control over that. Going to bust a gut in Jan to get as much in as poss to try and fill the finance gap. 99 Designs here I come! (I'm joking I'm not that desperate)It looks bleak mate. I would mentally write it off, If it all goes tits up, you'll never see anything.
