Open invoices - court?
Hello,
I am a freelance Erp consultant in BE. I had for one client around 50.000 euro open invoices. Multiple reminders but no response. I contacted a lawyer and they sent an official paper (notice of default) to pay the full amount plus interests (1750 €). At the end, the company paid the full amount (50 k) but not the interests (1750).
My lawyer sent another letter to pay the 1750 and if not: court.
But no reply from my (former) customer.
I contacted my lawyer to move forward and go to court if neccessary.... 1750 euro is a lot, if you simply have a right to it
A few weeks later, he told me that for these small amounts they don't go to court...
For me, it is more a principale case. If I have to pay 1700 costs for my lawyer and have 50 left, it is also ok...
My question: should I continue with this or just stop and go on with other things... Any experience with this, or how would you handle it?
