Honestly, never had to deal with any of these. My brother and I would only work for people who had the money and knew what they wanted up front. We were very straightforward (and firm) about our rates, and if someone didn't pay us on time, we'd stop all work on their project until they did. Scope creep was never an issue because we worked hourly ;). The thing I didn't like most about contracting was having my time split up so much between different projects. I like to work on one thing for days at a time, and this wasn't always realistic with several projects going at once.
