I just pay my daughter to call my late people every other day until I get paid, cheap labor, but it works and I don't have to bother with it because people get tired of being reminded that they have a balance. The flip side of that is if  I have a reasonable excuse for late or slow pay from my contact I will leave them alone. I bill on a 30 day. I also do not mind calling and bugging the closing attorney either. It's not hard to figure out who it was in most cases.
 Sometimes the loans don't close and that can be a financial stresser on my client's so as long as the majority of my work gets paid on time and I have confirmation about the files that are late I set up a payment plan for the slow pay stuff and it seems to work out. I am happy, my client is happy and the work flow continues. However, I don't allow my clients to carry more than a $1000 balance per month on the slow pays. Make it easier on them and they will usually get it paid. As for the foreign stuff. It's not happening here. I don't do business with anyone but stateside entities. I can't sue or claim lien on companies outside the US. so I don't take that risk.
