Hi everyone,
I know this board is not very active (I am guilty of inactivity myself!) but I
hope someone out there can give me some advice regarding collecting payment.

I have a client who started training with me after her friend referred her to
me. The training has gone well and she has been happy. She would, however, be
guilty of frequently "forgetting" to bring her check when payment was due at the
end of the week. Now with the recession, she has told me that she needs to drop
training--this was after she already trained with me for two sessions and had
one more before payment was due at the end of the week. Well, needless to say,
I have not seen any "check in the mail" as she promised. It is a tough
situation because her friend still trains with me and this client is a friend of
mine as is the default client. Short of bombarding her with invoices which
never get attended to, what can I do?

Am I just going to have to write this one off???

Thanks for any help!
