Platforms charge a fee, but in the end, this may be the one thing they do well in most cases. Protect payments.

In the future for domestic transactions, just add a little clause like "If valid payment is not made by due date, provider can send client a 3 day notice to cure. if the balance is not paid, Client stipulates to default judgement for the purpose of collections."

Now I'm sure that is not legally phrased correctly, but someone could make it a better. Idea is, Client, if they have not disputed invoice and not paid, admit to a default and you are immediately off to a judgement and collection.

Screening clients is tough. And sooner or later, this happens.

Oh, one guy I know always inserted code in his work so that he could turn his code off is someone did not pay. And then showed a screen with a payment message. Nice.
