Thanks for your advice, Phil ! (previous post) 

I guess where I was going with my original thought was what action can be taken when a company just does not pay.  For example...who/what organizations should be notified so that other companies in our line of business are aware that this particular company are poor payers? We usually read of such companies on SOT but other than the Better Business Bureau, who else should be informed? It just seems that the poor paying companies give you business until you become a nuisance when calling to collect past due invoices (shame on us for wanting to be paid now).  Before you know it, you are cut off from work with them (blessing in disquise), not paid, and now this dead beat company is giving tons of business to an unsuspecting new vendor who is so excited over all the new orders (they obviously are not aware of the companies non-paying reputation).  The cycle just keeps repeating itself.  It would be nice to finally put these companies out of their poor business practices.  Just think of the money they are making when they are not paying for services rendered!  It just seems if we all stopped working for non-paying companies, soon they would be out of business and reputable companies (and we know who some of them are) would get more work, thus provide us with more work that we know we will actually get paid for!

Maybe the only answer is contacting the BBB and filing judgments against said companies.  Just wish there was a list to follow that would insure these companies are held responsible for not paying their bills!

What is going to end this non-paying cycle?
