he keeps telling me he is waiting for his client to pay him before I get paid.... Now this is BS... if I use that argument with my mortgage, we'll get penalized.
He owes me 3 grand for work I did back in October (which is more than 1 month overdue now)... and he owes me 2 grand for work I did in November, which is 1 week late now.
I'm starting to get frustrated.
How would you handle it? I'm trying to be cordial and professional because he is my client. but I need to get paid. I'm losing interest on this money. perhaps I'm being too friendly and I need to "correct" the situation.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your help.

Demand payment before another second is spent on the account. If no payment is received before the second installment is due, engage a collection agency and/or send in a statement to the credit agencies. After 90 days, file a legal action.
