Commune owes me money - what can I do?
Hello,
My jazz combo played for a Brussels commune a few months ago, as part of their festivities. To this day they haven't paid us. We have a written agreement, with a fee agreed, but every time I talk to them they say that payment is imminent. Now it's been two and a half months and we need the money.
Who can I turn to? Thanks
The written agreement stated when you should be paid? Send them a reminder, and include the interest for late payment that they now owe you ( 7% APR?). That usually prompts action.
> The written agreement did not specify when we would be paid
Then is was due immediately, allowing a reasonable delay from when the invoice was issued. 30 days from invoice date?
A letter from a lawyer might get a prompt response. But check the cost of lawyer beforehand. Call a lawyer, explain very briefly and tell him/her that you just want a letter.
