Bounced check

There is also something called a "workman's lien", that you can get, which allows you to take possession of the piano (if it's worth the amount of the repairs owed).

That sounds similar to my system.  I use the PTG two-part forms and one of 
those alumin(i)um holders.  The top copy, of course, goes to the customer 
and the bottom goes in the back of the case.  When I get home the copy goes 
in the "to be filed" pile.  However, if no payment has been made (for a 
variety of reasons), it stays in the case.  I call that my accounts payable 
bin.   Really interesting how long some invoices stay back there, but 
eventually they DO move out.
