The world's longest invoice (dot com)

Postby gpuss » Fri Apr 27, 2012 2:39 pm

It looks like a couple of hundred fed-up freelancers have decided to air their grievances about sloppy paying by their clients (or should I say "clients"?). It stops short of naming and shaming, although there's a bit at the bottom where clients can be rated.

I should say that I have had very few problems with being paid (although some clients are quicker than others ...), but I do know plenty of freelancers and self-employed folk who've had to deal with tricksters who've tried schemes such as claiming the work was substandard (but using it anyway).

A nice reminder on a Friday afternoon of one of the pitfalls of being a freelancer.
That said, touch wood, I have never had a non-payment, though some have gone beyond the 30 days...
