My client owes me approximately $1500 for work I have completed and laid out money for. She said she was not happy and only sent me a check for 1/2 of the money. The memo line says "partial payment". She said she will not pay me the whole thing because she is unhappy. She said she will pay me the other half in December. (like she is punishing me) I am a gardener. I don't make a lot of money and this is absurd. She has committed in email, text, and on the check, she sent already for 1/2 the payment...that it's a partial payment and even though she is unhappy will pay the remainder in December. 1. If I cash the 1/2 payment am I accepting only half of my fee and she doesn't need to pay the other half? 2. Payment is due upon receipt of my services. Yet she is not doing this. What can I do? Why would she wait to pay..unless she is not going to pay me the remainder? Thanks
