Ask What do you do when a client sends partial payment and then goes quiet?

[Edward22]

There are times when a client pays part of the agreed amount and then stops replying, which can leave you stuck. You may have already delivered work or spent time on the project, so it feels unfair. Following up can help, but it can also feel uncomfortable if the client keeps ignoring messages. Freelancing income depends on timely payment, so this situation can be stressful. How do you handle such cases and try to recover the remaining payment?
