You are probably right about the payment thing since they haven't returned or even acknowledged an e-mail regarding the service I DID provide. Hey Debra,

I think the most disappointment came from the fact that they were the first from that service and I didn't really show them what I could do to help them with what they perceived as a problem. Oh, well, maybe they will figure out they are in over their heads as some point and come back!?! I may never know since they haven't even bothered to answer an e-mail, huh? Hey Jon,

With this client, you might have done the work, then spent more hours trying to get them to pay your invoice. I agree with Jon, that the small one-offs aren’t usually worth pursuing.
