<prompt> Human: Howdy! As my username explains, Ive been doing random side jobs to supplement my income to hack away at my loans. I took on my first ever project back in October photographing and photoshopping a ton of products for ecommerce sites.There was one problem. I didnt have a formal contract! Ive since kicked myself in the rear several times, but I do have several emails between us outlining the scope of the project and agreeing on pay. He owes me a little over 1K for my work.I didnt ask for pay in advance, nor did I ask for it during the project. I sent him a final invoice, and havent received a dime. Ive written him several emails, texts, phone calls. In January, he let me know there was an issue with payment since he didnt get paid because of a port issue. I let him know that I needed to be paid ASAP.It is now almost March. Whenever I call him, it rings once, and goes to voicemail. I Googled this today, and my suspicions were correct. It appears he has blocked my number. What can I do? I am so angry at myself for not handling this properly initially, and am even more angry at myself for how angry this whole thing is getting me. I feel taken advantage of. It hurts to see my work sprawled across the internet he has them displayed on several sites. I dont want to harass him, but I want his products out of my house and I want the money I earned in my own pocket.  <response>: Youll probably want to go to small claims court. Im not experienced in this area, but I would start googling how to begin the process in your state.Before you actually start the process of taking him to court, I would send an official looking letter via certified mail, asking him for the money you owed, and letting him know that you plan on suing him in small claims court. Its likely this will scare him into paying you the money youre owed.
