    Dear After Hours,

    I've been subcontracted some work, an ecommerce website, from a guy in a local company.. Got 350 up front (deposit from client), and I have another 1k due to me once the site is done... BUT, I think the company that subcontracted the work is in trouble. Heard it on good authority that it's close to collapse. And I think that one of the directors of the company has been leaning on the client to get paid all of the money up front before the work is finished.. with the sole purpose of taking the money and running...

    There's still a good bit of work to be done, and I dont want to do this work with trying to make sure that I get paid... I cant think of anything, bar ringing the client directly myself, which I dont think will work.. Any suggestions?

    Yours Meh!..
    JA.. :mad:

    Stop working on the website until you get in touch with the client. Not rocket science!!

    That Loch Ness monster was spotted in Leitrim a few months back and it would be something he'd do alright - the rascal.

    Why would he/they want a website if they're about to cease trading?

    Okay lads, here's the update.. Told yer man I'm not prepared to keep working on the project without some sort of guarantee that I will get paid.. He said he was not prepared to give me any such guarantee, so I told him to do it himself...

    I find a wood screw in my rear tyre this morning... Now it could be completely random and coincidental, but I'm thinking of breaking his jaw anyway.. opinions?

    Crack him just to the left of his chin at about 60% arm stretch and drive on through.

    You should go all CSI on his ass before breaking his jaw.

    Are there fingerprints on the screw? If not, rewind some satellite footage to see if the same guy was anywhere near your car before you found the screw. Failing that, get a witness testimony from somebody completely unrelated to ensure you have your guy. Then break his jaw

    Go into any meat factory near you and buy a fresh horses head sneak into his house when everyone is in bed and place in in his bed next to him. I bet you will have a quick cash payment within an hour of him waking up. If this don't work send a hitman.

    You're definitely right to stop working on it.

    But don't resort to violence.

    Hack his mainframe instead and download a virus from the systems admin tray inbox which will trigger the bio-response mechanism in his machine's internal mainguard and automatically feck with his enviro controls which will make his office just a tiny bit too hot.

    Hah! That'll show him.

    HACK HIS MAINFRAME!!!

    Save yourself all that hassle and leave a Tesco burger on his pillow. :pac:

    What if he buys the burger, eats it, and then leaves the poo on the bed?

    @OP: How was the initial contract worded, was there no guarantee of payment upon completion of the work already in place?
