Having 1099'd for large institutions that were total shit at cutting checks on any reasonable timescale, I've put a lot of thought into this.<p>What I really wanted was a third party that would do the dirty work that <i>I</i> was also contractually bound to as well.<p>"I'm very sorry to hear about your problems with the billing firm. Unfortunately I cannot call them off, discontinue using them or even bill further hours until your account with them is current as they function as both a billing agency and a creditor. If I do so, I risk a significant financial and legal exposure as part of the contract I signed with them."
Awesome idea, think it can work for boutique service firms just as well as freelancers. Always very difficult for the little guy to collect from the Fortune 500 Co or even the heavily backed startup..
Hi guys,<p>I believe there's a huge advantage to a 3rd party doing your "dirty work." In my personal freelance career I've experienced many cases of customers ignoring clients, until a lawyer or debt collection agency gets involved.<p>We built this to be the latter, and involve the former if necessary.<p>To getting paid,<p>Ryan / Freelance Debt crew
