Default Re: F'ed over by a client.

If I take a 'deposit' it's client money and it has to sit in my client account. I'm not allowed to touch it until I can invoice the client AND the client agrees that I can transfer the money into my own account. Breach of the client account rules is a hanging offence.

However I have recently dreamed up a wheeze as it often takes several weeks to get to the stage where I can submit an invoice. I've discovered that there's nothing in the rules to stop me charging a 'file opening fee', and then invoice as soon as I've opened the file. That preserves my cashflow but doesn't increase the client's overall bill.
