96 days past due on a $4,850 invoice. At what point do you stop chasing?

Work was completed and confirmed. Two polite reminders, one call, one certified letter. I have signed sign-off sheets. I do not want to burn the relationship but I also do not want to be free labor. Where do you personally draw the line before small claims or collections?

Thirty days past due gets a final notice with a date on it. Sixty days it goes to collections or small claims. Chasing past ninety costs more than the invoice in most cases.

Certified letter was what finally moved mine. Something about a paper trail makes people take it seriously.

If you have signed sign-off sheets you are in a strong position for small claims. I filed once and got paid before the hearing date.
