Message: <blockquote data-quote="Samurai" data-source="post: 3562324" data-attributes="member: 3850">Thanks for the advice.  But in this case, the amount is simply not enough to be worth bring in a collection agent or attorney.  We're not talking thousands (or even many hundreds) of dollars here.  I have done work for many other companies in the past, such as Clockwork Golem Workshop, Eilfin Publishing, Body Count Entertainment, and Hero Games/DoJ.  I have always met my deadlines and obligations, and I simply expect the same of the company I work for.  I think any AD I've worked with in the past would say I'm quite professional and easy to work with.   I have also always been very patient in waiting for payments. If a company says "I'm sorry, but we're having some trouble, we need to delay payment for a month or 2", and they keep in contact and inform me of the progress toward payment, I'm fine with that.  Gaming companies are often strapped for cash, and I understand that.  In this case, it has been a total of 10 months since the art was received, and 75% of my emails for the past 4 months have been getting no answer, and there was never any contact initiated on the company's part.  This is not a step I would ever jump to lightly or quickly, and it's something I wish I didn't have to resort to.  I could have really used the money several times over the previous months... to help pay for rent, or for new prescription glasses, or for a new radiator for car, etc.  It's not a large sum, but it still would have helped.But this email, unlike all the others over the past month, got a response within 10 minutes of being sent!  He has promised to send payment within a week.</blockquote>
