Looking for someone who can help me recover $1,440 from a client who hasn’t paid me
I’m a freelance video editor/content creator, and I’m dealing with a client who currently owes me $1,440 for work I completed for him.
The client has 300K+ followers, and this was not some random one-off interaction. We had an actual working relationship, I completed and delivered the work, and he repeatedly acknowledged that he owed me.
The payment has now been outstanding for around 6 months.
I have extensive documentation, including:
• Screenshots of our conversations
• Proof of the work I completed and delivered
• Messages where he explicitly agreed/promised to pay me
• My follow-ups asking about the payment
• Screen recordings documenting the conversations
• Evidence of his subsequent responses/behavior after I continued asking for payment
He promised me twice that he would pay, but never actually followed through.
Eventually, he stopped properly responding. When I continued following up, his responses became dismissive/trolling rather than actually addressing the $1,440 he owes.
I’ve already told him that I intend to escalate the matter if he doesn’t resolve it.
At this point, I’m looking for someone who can help me figure out the most effective legitimate way to put pressure on him and recover the money.
I’m particularly interested in connecting with:
Someone experienced with unpaid invoices/debt collection
A lawyer who handles freelancer/client disputes
Someone familiar with this person’s industry or professional network
Someone with a legitimate platform/audience who can contact him professionally and ask him to resolve the dispute
Anyone who has successfully dealt with a similar situation
I’m NOT looking to harass, threaten, dox, or fabricate anything about this person. I have evidence of the actual dispute and I’m prepared to provide it privately to anyone who genuinely wants to help.
If you’re able to connect me with someone who can either help recover the money, communicate with the client on my behalf, or advise me on the best escalation route, please DM me.
I really just want to get paid for the work I already completed.
