My Client-Friend didn't pay me USD7. 000+. How did I managed the situation? What happened? FINAL UPDATE! If you already knows the story, you can go straight to the bottom of this post to read the final update. RECAP: My client-friend didn’t pay me for 7 months and gets mad when I demand my payment. Then a bad negotiation over the phone happens and he tells me that it is over and tells me to stop all services that I am currently providing. After much thought and after reading many advices from this group (thank you very much it makes a difference having your help), I decided to stop being a dumb slave and I suspended all GSuite accounts (which I was paying with my credit card) and also his home internet which I also was paying. Then, after he spends 36 hours without Emails and the client-friend finally calls, desperate. they tried all, they have calles Google, they called the data center, and no one can help them. First He was demanding that I reactivate the accounts, of course that didn't work, I refused. then, when he realized that it was over for him, he started to beg me. He tells me that if this goes for one week (staying without the Gsuite accounts) his company will go broke. Finally he accepted to make a payment plan. Probably without the GSuite accounts he would have continued making me beg for pennies every week. Like a dumb slave. Now he told I was his best friend not a slave and that I went too far and never expected this from me for something so little as this debt. I will keep you posted. FINAL UPDATE: Finally, after that stressful situation, I have received all the 7. 000USD+ payments he owned me, plus 1. 000USD in late payments interests. (and I gave him back all the access for his server and accounts with instructions and recommendations to change his passwords) He still calls me to provide support and services for his websites, but now I am charging per service, instead of a fix monthly fee. By the way, he tried to hire me again to provide constant maintenance per a fix monthly payment but I refused. The friendship is damaged but we talk politely now. This was an important lesson for me. I appreciate all the support I got from the people from this group. Your recommendations and advices made the difference for me. Thank you very much.
