Great post. I am owed money from a former client and was told by some people on this post "to let it go". My response was its $5000 and it may be not alot to you  but as an independent abstractor its alot to me. I was told the same thing about my typing. I feel that if one of the big companies on here is friendly with a non-payer they defend them. When I posted my experience about  the company that owes me money that company responds by saying I stole some of their clients. I asked them to name one. a year later no response. What bothers me about most non payers that I know about is they are still in business. Thx for the post
