[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 202968, member: 211"] Like everyone else said. NEVER let this drag out so long. I'm guessing your gear is in a bar somewhere. Sadly, many bar owners are of the very shady persuasion and will let bills lapse until the banks step in. Once that happens, and the space is secured, your stuff will be very difficult to access. Something that would be a good idea going forward is making sure to do a credit check on the potential client before providing gear to them. Knowing their credit history can help you adjust the rate for the rental against the risk of stuff happening. Personally, if a payment was missed, I'd make a phone call, or personal visit instead of an email. Depending on the duration of the contract would determine how fast I respond in getting my gear pulled. If it's a couple years into a multi year contract and it's the first time this happened, and I don't suspect other financial issues, I'll take the payment and be OK with it. If this has happened before, or there are other signs of financial trouble, I'd use the cause in the contract that allows the contract to be immediately cancelled due to non-payment and pull my gear. If they want the gear put back in, then there is the labor charge to re-set things up. [/QUOTE]
