Having 1099'd for large institutions that were total shit at cutting checks on any reasonable timescale, I've put a lot of thought into this. What I really wanted was a third party that would do the dirty work that I was also contractually bound to as well. "I'm very sorry to hear about your problems with the billing firm. Unfortunately I cannot call them off, discontinue using them or even bill further hours until your account with them is current as they function as both a billing agency and a creditor. If I do so, I risk a significant financial and legal exposure as part of the contract I signed with them."
