Hello,
I was wondering whether anyone could clarify my position with regards to some outstanding payments for some work I've completed on a contractor basis.
A few points to consider before looking ahead;
I'm a mobile DJ, and work for an agent who is supplying regular DJ work.
My agent appears to be reluctant to pay for the services which I have provided, and when I chase him, there always seems to be a reason why he hasn't been able to pay. I submit invoices at the end of each event, and always make sure I get a signature on each from either; the person who's booked the disco or a member of staff at the venue (Supervisor and Managerial levels).
I have chased the overdue invoices on a regular basis when due, and I rarely get sufficient remuneration for the services supplied. I have been paid partial amounts between £20-£50 on occasions where he has wanted me to head to a venue and provide a disco for another event, however he is struggling to pay full amounts.
Accordingly, he now owes me just over £1150, and is saying that he can't afford to pay me. 3 of the 4 invoices are now almost 3 weeks overdue, the remaining invoice is nearly 2 weeks overdue.
I've spoken to him verbally multiple times about the overdue invoices, and have explained that I need payment. Likewise, I have emailed him the invoices again and have reiterated what was mentioned verbally. I have mentioned that payment can be made in multiple ways; PayPal, Bank Transfer, Cash in hand. Despite this, no full payment has been made. As a side note, I'm reluctant to ask for a cheque, as I can see this bouncing thus starting the whole cycle over again.
The last conversation we had, I mentioned that I'm not going to let the overdue invoices slide, and that I'm not prepared to simply forget about the money in question.
What can I do regarding the overdue invoices? Can I charge him interest on it? Or do I need to proceed with a small courts claim? Are there any other routes I can go down?
I'm not intending on doing any further work for this agent, so not worried about the repercussions. I was just want the overdue payments paid.
Any help on this situation would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jamie.

- Payment terms for each event are 30 days from invoice.
- Invoices are sent via email at the end of each event.
