I am going to skip through a bunch of posts here.
I just dealt with this situation. There are other questions, like do you value the client at all even though you have this difficulty?
Whether yes or no, I find it best to very diplomatically write to them stating the length of time past due, with the attached signed contract, stating that you will need to pursue legal action within a certain time frame if the payment is not remitted.
8K is not that much in regards to possible court fees. However, if payment does not come, I suggest using a solicitor or credit agency as well.
Best of luck

We had a dead beat client a few yeas ago. Got our lawyer to serve him papers stating if they didn't pay by such and such a date the matter would go to court. They paid up. A letter from your lawyer will work much better then a letter from you. As soon as they realise they will actually have to get a lawyer and go to court to fight a battle they are goign to lose there is a good chance they try and find a way to settle up....

my bf's dad is a corporate lawyer. he's written letters for me on his lawfirm's letterhead. it's a pretty big lawfirm in downtown LA... they rep cities and shit. and his title is partner... so it's sort of hard to blow off.
it goes without saying that i got paid real fast after that. its easier to pull that off with smaller clients rather than bigger ones.
