Non Payment from Oversea - non EU

Hi, very new to this forum and site, but hoping someone can help me!

I have done some work for an agency based in Azerbaijan. The invoice is now almost three months overdue. I have repeatedly emailed and been told it will be paid, 'when boss is back in Kazakhstan' (they have an office there too) but nothing is happening. Recent emails aren't even being answered.

I agreed to the work via email and have a record of this. I accepted the job under the original promise of being paid after 15 days!!

How can I up the ante here? I assume that the UK law won't apply!

thanks

Hi Gina,

You are correct that UK legislation is unlikely to apply in this instance. Even if your contract or T&C's give UK courts jurisdiction enforcing a UK Judgment on a company in Azerbaijan is not possible.

As David states the only way to "up the ante" is to get an agent in Azerbaijan to contact the debtor.
