i did some tractor driving for someone and they were unhappy about me leaving...i think they may be getting funny about paying me the grand they owe. What can i do? there was no contract...just my invoice. suggestions pls...

was your discussion with the someone witnessed at all? Have you sent an e-mail or note with a quotation or estimate on it?

send a registered letter asking for payment for services to be paid within 28 days intimating that non payment would result in recovery via the small claims court, a relatively easy procedure

I once did almost exactly what murrayments has recommended, and it worked. The other side paid up without a murmur. If you don't prod the other side, they'll just "forget" it.
