Paper stole my photo

Have you invoiced them ? Normal payment terms are 30 days from invoice

If no time is stipulated, you can charge interest under the late payments directive after 30 days. You won't get solicitors costs unless you issue proceedings.

The best thing to do is call round, early and often.

It is a commercial transaction so the interest rules apply. You are selling a photograph. You can issue proceedings without a solicitor but you clealry don't know how to do it so you would make a mess of it.

Threaten the Press Council, call around to their offices and demand to speak to the MD. Email the MD. Contact a rival publication and tell your story.

Not for business to business you can't. And this is B2B.

Why do people suggest the Small Claims Court when they don't even know what it is to be used for.

So what about the Press Council. What you need to do is cause hassle. You are not going to sue so the only thing to do is kick up a stink.

You don't deserve to be paid if you are just going to cry like a baby and not do anything about it.

So why the fuss?
