There's no reason you have to ever disclose you are home based, that's up to you to decide whether to disclose it or not and of course taking into account the status of your office setup, business, etc. I've had clients who knew and never had a problem and then i have and had clients who may not have known, she's been with you and owed you money since May? I would have cut her off in June. You should probably inform her right off the bat that you expect a check for whatever she owes you at that meeting. If she does not have the check, there's no reason to meet and I would talk to your attorney and go from there that's 4 months.. I hope you have not been working the account this whole time.

I agree with you Linda *faints*, and I have personally NEVER disclosed that I was home based. i have had only one client ask me that specifically and I have been honest with them about that. I also agree that you should not continue to work when they owe you. Doing so makes them feel you 'NEED' the money. Just as in this business if a client has an outstanding balance he does not receive future service until that balance is met. Now you are in months behind in payment.

Yup. If I can't pay my mortgage after 90 days I'm getting an ACT 91 in the mail (1st step in foreclosure)
it just stands to reason any business would have limitations. 4 months without getting paid is way out of line and personally IMO I wouldn't have let it go on and if I was in your shoes right now, I wouldn't meet with them unless the check was in their hand at the door. JMO My attorney would be right there with me.

her receptionist faxed over the other half of the work for Sept. I haven't even printed the work, I'm not touching anything until I get paid. She did know from the beginning that we are home based.
I have billed her a total of $96,000. in claims. They have been so disorganized and uncooperative from the beginning that it's sickening.
You're right, I'm going to contact my attorney. first thing in the am.
