Re: Non payment of services
If you have billed for services and have not received payment for more than 30 days, you may want to send the debtor a statement with a short note stating payment is overdue. If you get no response within a reasonable period, depending on the size of the claim, you then might consider a lawsuit in small claims court or civil or supreme court (assuming you have the right to sue the debtor in a New York state court).
