Have a client gone silent on emails chasing payment for a couple of grand, invoiced in November. Pretty sure she owns the home (work was garden lighting - quoted and accepted - besides her having a hissy fit and considering herself the single worst affected person by the global pandemic and me the worst sparky in the world due to some of the lights being out of stock and taking an extra few weeks, yes she's like *that* (single if you're interested) no other/genuine complaints she's made me aware of)

sent her a couple of emails the last titled "final reminder" warning charges will be incured if legal process is necessary - anything extra I should do before filing online claim e.g. Recorded delivery letter?

Have you actually said that legal proceedings will commence if the bill isn't paid by X date?

Do it by letter - e-mails might not be received (or she can pretend they weren't and the judge is likely to believe her).

Stay polite. Good luck!
