I had a client once that was like that. He owed me money but it was only about 1500 so I wasn't really all over him about it.
About six months went by and I had kinda forgotten about it until one day I'm watching CNN at lunch and who do I see sitting there talking to Wolf Blitzer but my client.
He was going off about his book and shit and how great it was acting like a bigshot and all this shit.
I damn near plottzed.
Anyway, I finished my lunch and put in a call to him. I got his "secretary" (read: girlfriend) and mentioned how he had an outstanding invoice.
She gave me the typical "right away / in the mail" response.
I responded that the invoice was six months overdue and that I was going to pull the plug on the site unless I heard from him within the hour. This being the website that he was just on CNN telling everyone to go visit.
Needless to say I got a call ten minutes later from my client asking me if I'd accept a credit card. I dont' but I told him if he sent a certified cheque via courier that day and emailed me a tracking number by the end of the day then it would all be cool.
He must have run around like a sonofabitch because 2 hours later I had a tracking number in my email and the next day a certified cheque showed up at my door.
In the end it was kinda cruel of me because I had honestly forgotten about the invoice until I saw him on CNN but in the end, like the Goodfella's say: Fuck you, pay me.
