    Best Value Press Release Distribution and PR/Journalist Contact/Database Services

    Yes, I know that press release distribution and a journalist database are two different things. I was including both because both could be useful in order to achieve much the same ends. You don't supply a link in your post but I'm assuming that it's the same prmax.co.uk that I'm looking at now...

    Best Value Press Release Distribution and PR/Journalist Contact/Database Services

    Hi there, I wonder if anyone here has had experience of press release services and/or PR/journalist contact or journalist database services. I've tried a few of these and they've been disappointing, to say the least. There are quite a few and they all offer services from totally free to...

    My Client Will Not Pay My Final Invoice

    He has an email address which is apparently the address of his bookkeeper. I have been succussfully sending invoices to that address for 16 months and these have immediately been paid. Until my last invoice.

    My Client Will Not Pay My Final Invoice

    My engagement was through a site called Upwork. He then disengaged from Upwork and so did I because we both did not like paying the fees Upwork charged. So we both worked on trust, which is why this makes it particularly galling.

    My Client Will Not Pay My Final Invoice

    Yes, I know his name. I don't want to advertise it here (would you?) because I think he is being misled by other people and therefore his decisions are misguided. I seek guidance here; I'm hoping it doesn't come to legal process. I'm seeking genuine advice here.

    My Client Will Not Pay My Final Invoice

    I suspect they are a limited company but I'm not sure. They are registered for VAT (but so am I, and I trade as a freelancer, but I was obliged to register a few years ago when my turnover was better than it is now). I've searched for my ex-client's name in the Companies House website and it...

    My Client Will Not Pay My Final Invoice

    We spoke several times on the phone. But he talks incredibly fast and with an accent I'm not familiar with. I understand about 40% of what he says. I prefer to put things in writing so that everything is plain and clear in black & white, but he doesn't read that much. I've sent dozens of...

    My Client Will Not Pay My Final Invoice

    Hello, After engaging with a long term project which I was told would last several years (writing the entire contents of a large ecommerce website) I suddenly got an email from the client to say that all the money had run out. The client had always paid on time but he is not paying for the...

    Self Employed with Mortgage and Service Charge Tax Deductible?

    Thank you all for your replies. No, I have not been advised that I can claim for a percentage of household costs. That's why I'm asking on this forum. I have not calculated the square footage of my home office and I trust it won't matter because this room is 100% where the income for the whole...

    Self Employed with Mortgage and Service Charge Tax Deductible?

    Hello, I'm self-employed and I've been working for over 20 years from my home office which is a converted bedroom at home. I heard recently that I can get a quarter off my mortgage interest and a quarter off my service charge (that is the proportion of my house that I use for business...

    Handing over control of my website for work to be done

    It is perfectly normal to let web developers have accesss to your site. How are they to do anything without having access? This presumes that they are a bona fide web developer, are experts in their field and know what they're doing. So by all means let them have the site's login and password...
