I hope you get paid. But I hope you have changed how you do things as well. Should look at getting staged payments on the job, especially if you are there for 6 months on and off.
And to let it go for 2 years is mental.
I've been caught by someone going bankrupt and a couple of little none payers since I went out on my own 8 years ago. With the bankrupt I was back of the queue to get paid as he owed HMRC a fortune.
Also been caught (sort of) on a new build. Basic terms 60% after 1st fix, 40% when complete. She held first fix monies back as 1st fix not complete as the Sun Room wasn't wired. It hadn't been built yet. Got paid in full eventually, but still...that is what you are up against some times!
