Send them a final invoice and state simply and clearly what actions may happen if the invoice is not paid.

 

If you use google you should find a few templates that are right to the point but most of all non confrontational.

Send them a letter by recorded delivery saying you haven't been paid for work between xxx dates and will they please do so within 24 hours from the date of receipt of this letter.

 

If that doesn't bring a payment, then you send a demand, again by recorded delivery, demanding immediate payment or further action will be taken.

 

If again they fail to respond or pay you, then you send them a Letter Before Action saying that if payment isn't received within 24 hours, then you will take action without further notice.

 

You can then issue a small claim against them. It's not expensive and you claim back the £30 or £40 fee. You can start the claim on line - https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/web/mcol/welcome

 

Don't threaten court though if you don't intend to go through with it.
