 Owed money, how to proceed? - Hard Cheese

Hello,

I was self-employed until late last year when I was headhunted, in fact due to being VAT registered my business is still extant though pretty much dormant with the odd transaction going through the books such as renewing domain registrations etc for ex-clients.

One client still owes me a reasonable sum, as of last Autumn they acknowledged that the sum was owed though over the subsequent nine months or so have gone from wanting to discuss terms through questioning whether they actually owe anything to ignoring messages, emails and letters. The last communication was a month ago, a letter from me saying that if I did not hear from them within 14 days I would have to consider what action to take.

I have thought about a solicitors letter, i.e. a slightly bigger stick, the Small Claims Court or Money Claims online.

Any thoughts, experiences or considerations?


Thanks and regards.
