I invoiced £2,500 or thereabouts to a Spanish agency upon which they confirmed receiot of it at the start of March. They now tell me today (payment terms 60-90 days) that they cannot pay me without invoce with PO enclosed. wtf is that all about?

Delaying tactics Apr 13, 2011

Sounds like a delaying tactic. In any case, you'll have to get in touch with them to see if you can sort it out. Unfortunately, there are a lot of dodgy agencies here in Spain.

Good luck!

Paul.

Binding invoice Apr 13, 2011

Do you have an agreement with them that requires you to attach the PO?

If not, then your invoice is legally binding - let them cite the regulations which say otherwise...
