Hi, I am a programmer who did some work on an existing clients
website.

Anyway, after eight months of using the changes I made (and not
hearing back from them other then constantly being put off) I have
asked to be paid.. they have always said the $$ is coming...



Suddenly they are not going to pay becuause there are bugs....

What should I do?? Legal options??
Thanks
Markus

What does your contract with them say? More importantly, what does your
solicitor say?

I doubt there are many trained lawyers reading this group. I wouldn't
ask a lawyer to solve a programming question - it's even more dangerous
to ask programmers to solve a law question
