A first-hand account of pursuing a client through small claims court

Chris ran into problems with his first freelance product design job after leaving university. He shares his experience of pursuing a late payment through small claims court. What did it involve? Was it worth it, and what can you learn from his experience?

Today we hear from Chris Wilson, a multidisciplinary designer and founder of Stckmn—a one-man design studio specialising in brand, packaging and visualisation.

Chris shares his experience of pursuing a late payment through small claims court. We have seen a rise in payment disputes which is likely linked to the impact of COVID on businesses.

We hope you find this episode useful. If you have legal expenses insurance please consider using the debt recovery service or the legal advice helpline to assist you with late payments.

You can find Chris on InstagramTwitter or browse his website. We also recommend listening to episode #48 which details David’s experience of using the legal advice helpline to assist him in dealing with an unpaid invoice.

We asked ourselves one important question…

What do we want out of an insurance provider?
