Amy,
Yes, I did! I was paid exactly when promised, I deposited the check early this week, and I’ve had no issues with it being returned for NSF at this point. I have another job I did for AOE before I tried to collect this payment, and it’s now coming up on about 60 days out – so I’ll have to go through this process again, I’m sure. But I did get paid and I thanked him for following through when he said he would . . . he’s been really responsive to me throughout this entire process. I’ve been courteous and respectful with each interaction, and I think that helps. If the guy is having cash flow issues, getting upset and angry with him is not going to make the money flow any faster. I still want to get paid for the last job I did for him, so I’ll go through the same process, continue to be professional and courteous, and see what happens. I wish you the best on this one – seems like there are financial issues with this company, which is too bad. I’ve had good interactions with him on both jobs (when I had document questions) and he’s been great to work with.
