Had a client ghost me after I delivered the final files on time

I was sitting in my living room in Portland last Tuesday, sent over the last batch of social media graphics we agreed on. They paid the deposit fast, seemed fine the whole project. Then nothing. No reply to my follow up email, no sign off, no final payment for the remaining $850. I waited a week, sent a polite nudge, then another. Finally I put a hold on all their active files. That got their attention, but they still tried to argue the deadline was wrong. Has anyone else had a client just disappear after you held up your end?

Yeah, the 'deadline was wrong' excuse is such a classic. My buddy had a client pull almost the exact same move, argued the timeline was off after he'd already sent the final PSDs.

3 freelance clients did that to me last year alone.

Deadlines being wrong usually means they just forgot what they agreed to.
