Emailed him the next morning, didn't hear back. I gave it till today and phoned, got through to my friend who said the boss wasn't in today, but that they'd just had a load of money come through so my payment will be put through very soon. I'm not sure what "very soon" means, but I explained the legal 30 day thing to my friend, told him to get the boss to respond to my email asap otherwise I'll have to recover the money through other means. Have emailed to confirm the conversation took place, will try phoning one more time this week and if there's nothing by Monday I'll have to use www.moneyclaim.gov.uk. Annoyingly, the Bank of England base rate (used to charge interest on late payments) is only at 0.5%, so that's hardly an incentive to pay on time. I can legally apply a charge of £70 though, but I'd much rather they just paid me and I never had to deal with them again.
