When a client won't pay, hand them the receipts

Most payment disputes come down to one thing: who has the paper trail. Jobcrumb builds yours while you work, then prints it as one organized document the moment you need it.

What you get

01 · Amount owed

The signed contract, plus signed extra work, less every payment received. Unpaid invoices, due dates and the balance, laid out like a statement of account.

02 · What the client signed

Each estimate, change order and completion sign-off with the drawn signature, the exact wording they saw, the time, and the code check that proves it was really them.

03 · Timeline

Every agreement, invoice, reminder, page view and payment, oldest first. "I never got the invoice" stops working when the log shows they opened it.

04 · Work performed

Photos, video and daily logs stamped with the time, GPS location and who captured them, each with a fingerprint that shows it wasn't edited.

A demand letter, drafted

A plain, professional letter stating what's owed and by when, filled in from the record. Review it, edit it, send it.

Questions

What should a contractor keep to win a payment dispute?

The signed contract, signed change orders for any extra work, dated photos of the work, invoices and proof they were sent, payment history, and written communication. Jobcrumb keeps all of it on the job automatically and prints it together.

Will a Dispute Pack hold up in court?

It organizes your evidence; it isn't legal advice. Electronic signatures are generally valid in the US under the ESIGN Act, and each record includes the time, device and identity check. Talk to a local attorney about your state's lien deadlines and rules.

Can my client see the Dispute Pack?

Only if you send it. It's generated for you inside your account, and you decide who gets a copy.
