Just stay persistent and hope for the best I guess. From what I've heard, it is very difficult to pursue legal action unless you live in the same country as the deadbeat employer.

Nothing could be done. Telling you with my own and my friends' experiences. These people are thick-skinned. But you can do one thing. You can find forums like this and warn other writers. Masterpapers in recent months is becoming very greedy.

It's probably good to think of it as a learning experience.
I was ripped off once by a client and he was in Singapore which left me to eventually write it off as a learning experience. Work for folks in your own country; it's really the only way to be sure you'll have legal recourse to be paid. I've never had problems being paid by employers based in my own country.

I suggest nick_harland that you send them at least 2 appeal letters, just to let them know that they definitely need to pay you. Otherwise, let go of it, and spread the word about how bad they are. You know, others need to get educated too.
As for me, I wouldn't really mind waiting for a long time to get paid as long as the company would just constantly communicate with me.
