    Senseg, give us some more details. Location matters as in terms of law and regulations.

    However, if they say 90 days is because you are not likely to see the money before that day -but normally means at least 120 days.

    If you are in digital and you have access, you can pull the plug until payment -or even more radical, overlay a massive banner saying that the job hasn't been paid for.

    Making their business awkward and/or public embarrassment works great as the harm you can do to their client base is likely more expensive than whatever job you may have done for them.

    I'd say that a polite email explaining that you will unplug them if they do not pay as agreed -giving a week's notice- is appropriate to most countries.

    Mind you that if you don't have the payment agreement in written, you are not just fucked, you are utterly fucked.

    If you work in printed media or you have given all your deliverables already you can either wait or go for the small claims tribunal (or equivalent for non-brit countries).

    -Lastly, a piece of advise. If you want to work as a supplier, you will have to get used to this things.
