[quote=Anonymous]Yes, send them a demand letter by certified mail.  That's a legal term (lawyer here).  Just set out that you expect payment of X amount for the X work you did on X date(s), and they have until X date to respond.  Make this last response date for them about 2 weeks after the date on your letter.  Here's an example:

Dear Mr. --

Pursuant to our contract, I made 20 widgets for your company on January 5 and 10, 2012.  I sent you the widgets on January 15, 2012.  You agreed to pay $100 for the widgets, due on receipt.  To date I have not received any payment.  You have until March 1, 2013 to pay for the widgets.  If I do not hear from you, I will take appropriate action.

Sincerely,

Make several copies.  Send it off by certified mail.

When you don't hear from them (doubt you will since they have owed this money for so long) take yourself to your local small claims court.  Their jurisdictional limits vary, $5k I believe is the upper limit for small claims court in DC.  Not sure about VA or MD.  Good luck![/quote]
