I haven't had to deal with this issue, but I'm sure at some point I will. If it was just a minor bill I'd probably let it go. It would likely cost more than I would get back from the client. However, if it was more than a couple hundred dollars, I'd have a lawyer draft a threatening letter. If that didn't work, off to small claims court.
I did this for a friend who did tractor repair for a customer who ignored their invoices for six months. I took a blank Civil Complaint form (I worked for an attorney so I was able to get one, but they can probably be obtained from the magistrate - check with yours). I filled it out with all the pertinent information and sent it to their customer, with a letter stating that if the invoice were not paid within 30 days, "the enclosed would be filed with District Magistrate __________." They paid it the following week - the threat itself worked, and it cost nothing.
In case it doesn't seem obvious; first you stop doing any work for them...check!
Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming.
