To correct gonetopot, the advert WAS posted, if only for a very short period, how else could I have possibly seen it on the jobs page? Just to remind BAJR, I gave him the name of the person in question and at the time I reported this to him the University was still open. BAJR didn't offer to go to the University, he said he was going, the following Monday in fact, and I did offer to supply all of the relevant contact details if he needed them. While the BAJR Guide to Late Payment covers these situations, there is not a lot it can do to help you when one address is made-up and the client uses the credit period to leave the other address and quit the country. Regarding the wording of the letter, I thought it was acceptable for someone whose first language was not English and not out-of-line for other announcements and statements on BAJR, bearing in mind that at the time they were claiming to be a private person with no experience of academic archaeology. I'm sorry if I didn't give a lot of thought to post title and PMing people but I don't have a lot of time for internet forum theatrics and it is very rarely that I bother with forums and suchlike.
I haven't made any personal comments, while you've accused me of making a "pubic rant" whatever that implies. I know everyone has bad debts and bad experiences with clients and subcontractors that you have to write off. While some people can comfortably say they don’t need the money for these small jobs, I’m not that fortunate.
