What's the longest you've ever waited to get paid for an invoice? I'm going on 2.5 years now

4 months by mistake once, but everything else within a month. Just add a duedate on it (normally up to or around 10-14 workingdays) and they'll have to pay

“Add a due date and they’ll have to pay” Omegalul

am I wrong? if in your invoice you put down a 'payment to be transfered by' date, afaik, it has to be done by then as long as it's more than 10 working days and no other agreement is made through a contract.

Just because you put “Net X” in an invoice doesn’t mean they’re going to pay it. My best advice: put net 30 or however many days and then also put in an interest rate that’s legal in your country that begins to accrue after due date.

Whether they're going to pay it on time or not, doesn't my point still stand in the sense that they're supposed to / 'have to'? I'm no lawyer or expert on this, so correct me if I'm wrong. It's just always worked for me to do it that way with 0 complaints.

They’re “supposed” to yes but there’s nothing forcing them to “have” to. If you don’t have an interest rate tacked on they can just sit back for free and let you decide to come after them legally if it’s worth your time and money.
