Non-payment from MSC, how to proceed?

I did a shop for HDE (Hilli Dunlap Enterprises) which they owe me $50 for ($25 Fee/$25 Reimbursement. HDE typically pays after 90 days, on the 1st of the new month. When September 1st came and went without payment, I sent Frank, the scheduler and only contact on their website, an email asking if my payment was maybe overlooked or something. I also have two June shops I am owed a total of $75 for, $45 of it being reimbursements. When I did not get a reply back for several days, I sent another email, asking for the status of the payment. This was on Monday, Sept. 6th. I have yet to receive even an acknowledgment from HDE, not to mention a payment that is 4 days away from 120 days.

What else can I do besides emailing Frank? It am angry that they hold my money which I used to do their shop with for over 3 months. Now, they are adding insult to injury and won't even tell me when or if they plan to pay me. I know they are still in business as they had some shops they posted just this week. Can somebody please tell me something I can do that will help me get this money that won't also cost me more money?

Thank you...

This company used to pay like clockwork. I usually do two or three ff shops for them per month. Easy shop, easy report. Well I was trying to reconcile all my payments when I notice they haven't paid me for anything since April. It's my own fault for not catching it sooner, but still. I am not sure who to speak to, but will do some research. IF I find out I will let you know. Good Luck.
Thank you, fiteybitey. I've never had this problem before and would love to hear how others have handled similar situations.
I usually first raise the question about a late or inaccurate payment with the scheduler, often when they are contacting to ask me to take on additional work. If it is a SASSIE company the contact will be through the contact link from the job itself. I give them 2 business days to respond and on the 3rd business day start looking for a phone number of the company to talk with accounting.
Keep a record when you contact them, emails being sent etc. Then escalate, find the guy on the top (CEO/president/owner) and email this person directly, cc your scheduler so she/he knows you mean business. The next step probably opening a case with BBB and state attorney general - I never gone this far for MS. I never have problem un-resolved after escalation to the next level of management.

Good luck, pls update us on what happen...
