Lets just get this out there, judgements are basically worthless. They're nearly impossible to enforce, they're easy to get around and they are primarily a cost for the person who is already out a paycheck.
What are some of your horror stories about companies that have failed to pay?
I'll go first: I've had a engineering group stiff me $750 and my code is still in production now.
I've had a consultant pay half invoices on time, then stiff me and the client $20,000+ and disappear. Shady dude.
I've had a customer pay all invoices, the final $600 is still unpaid since August 2019. They were funded 3 days after the final invoice was sent. They are currently in talks for a 1 million seed round.
3 projects, 3 products i've written and participated in that failed to pay their bills.
Who's next?
