And Then He Was Sued Into Oblivion… Right?

Many years ago, I rented a two-story former store in Ireland. I worked there all day for long hours. Half the time, I took on graphic design and web projects on the upper floor, and for the other half, I worked as a physiotherapist on the lower floor.

For reasons I can’t explain, my design clients always paid their invoices on time. Always. But my physiotherapy clients were nearly always late in paying or quite often refused to pay their invoices at all.

I had one client who had suffered from a chronic condition for many years. I treated him successfully, and finally, I sent him an invoice.

He sent me a letter in response.

Client: “Thank you so much for your intervention. My life has completely changed thanks to you. I’m back at work, I’m playing golf again, and I just feel so much better. Thank you for your help. However, I will not be paying this bill. Sorry.”
