How to claim the amount of an unpaid invoice from client after providing all services?

Dear Legal Experts,

I have a client who had hired me for a film production project in 2020. He cleared some advance but then during the filming, some more services were added to the job and he owed me around USD 7000 after the filming was completed.

However, despite several follow-ups, he finally refused to clear my payment citing damages made by models provided by us - which is baseless.

I passed the case to a collection agency but there was no result as he is not responding to any communication. What should I do?

Kindly let us know if there is a service agreement or any kind of documented proof that can prove his acceptance of services/payments.

If that is the case then we can go for a civil matter for recovery and start by sending an official legal notice for the pending payments.

You may reach out to us on the phone or by email.

Answer-

As you have passed the case to the recovery agent, it is best to provide a legal notice and to start a recovery for the claim amount.

Please call or email us.
