The contract should indicate that there was a final billing milestone at the completion of the project. You state that it is "going to have an impact on their financial planning", but it really will not, unless your contract with them was completely inadequate.
Indeed, not having to pay for a year is a benefit for them from a cash flow perspective (usually). The late invoice should not create a problem for the company. I was reviewing my records and noticed that I had neglected to send you the final invoice for project XYZ. In order to maintain your good relationship with the company, I think it would be best to send a brief apology/explanation along with the invoice, so it doesn't come out of the blue.
#Stack of bills to pay full
I agree with other answers that you should invoice the full amount. Its very likely that I would continue to pick up future work from them, be introduced to new clients by them, etc. I have a very good relationship with the customer and they show every sign of being decent human beings. I'm sure this was not deliberate on their part. They never warned me that I hadn't sent an invoice. They should be able to pay, but its definitely going to have an impact on their financial planning, etc. This would obviously have an impact on their financial metrics for how the project went. The amount of work I forgot to invoice for was almost a 3rd of the total project. The original project went well! Everyone was happy with the outcome and there is no dispute that the work was done and done well. What do people think the right thing is to do? Perhaps paying 50% of the original amount.įailing to invoice them was absolutely my mistake and I should just write this up as a painful lesson in keeping on top of my paperwork and move on. They should pay, but perhaps only partially, or at a steep discount. The fact that I was almost 12 months late in sending them an invoice is irrelevant. I never invoiced them for the final block of work last year! It's not a few hours either - its almost 3 weeks of work that I never billed them for!Īs far as I can see there are 3 options for how this could work: However while I was preparing the invoice for the new work, I discovered I had made a big mistake. This year they have brought me back in to work on a new project. The client was very happy with the work I did. However at the end of the project things were quite hectic with me wrapping up the project and starting a new job for a different customer at the same time. Last year I did a large project for a client. Fortunately, I had kept the confirmation number from my original payment, but to anyone else in this situation I would recommend not attempting as I did to pay over the phone without having received a bill - you will be billed eventually.I am a freelancer. I lost track of the second bill in holiday season chaos, and eventually had to call by phone again to resolve the issue. I could not log in on the tolls by mail website, so I assumed it had cleared itself up. I was able to pay the toll by calling in to the number given in the answer.ĮDIT2: I eventually received a bill anyway, in October.
#Stack of bills to pay registration
Will there be a consequence to not paying the toll if I ever drive through New York again? Is there a way to deal with this online?ĮDIT: My car is leased, and the bill went to the leasing company - this possibility (or that it would be relevant at all) did not occur to me because I assumed it would be sent based on the name of the registration rather than the name of the actual owner.
#Stack of bills to pay license
Signs indicated that I would have my license plate photographed and receive a toll bill for $5.50 in the mail.
Driving home from Maine on June 27th (about one and a half months ago), I passed (briefly) through New York City, and entered Manhattan by the Henry Hudson Bridge.
