[QUOTE="Lisa Lane-Collins, post: 202957, member: 2967"] Wondering if there are any standard courtesies people practice when their hire clients have stopped paying and it comes to crunch time? At present I have sent the polite email inquiring as to what is happening with getting invoices paid. This was met with a complete derail. I've responded with another email expressing that there needs to be payment in order for the arrangement to continue and that I am sure non payment was an oversight and will be remedied promptly. But that if it isn't and nothing is communicated one way or the other I shall assume the client wishes to terminate the contract. I've given a date by which that will happen if I receive neither payment nor communication of intent to pay. When that day comes and goes and I've heard nothing, is there anything else I need to do before physically going in and pulling my gear? This is going to disrupt their ability to do business, but the client hasn't paid hire in the last 2 months so, feeling like I should be pretty contractually clear of any obligation to leave my equipment on site or maintain it in working order. Still, feel apprehensive about following through. [/QUOTE]
