When clients refuse to pay after you deliver work, it can be a nightmare for freelancers and consultants in Kenya. A recent TikTok story highlighted the struggles of one such professional who was owed KSh 50,000 by a client who refused to pay despite numerous requests. The freelancer had to spend months chasing the client, only to be met with empty promises and excuses. This situation is all too common in Kenya, where freelancers and consultants often find themselves at the mercy of clients who refuse to pay for services rendered. The traditional route of going to court can be time-consuming, costly, and often ineffective. But what if there was a faster, simpler alternative? Immani offers a solution to this problem. With Immani, you can file a dispute against a client who refuses to pay, using just their phone number. The process is simple and affordable, with a filing fee of KSh 100. Once the dispute is filed, both parties are notified, and a private window is opened for direct communication. If the issue is not resolved within this window, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up the client's phone number on Immani, which can often prompt a response. Here's how it works:

1. File a dispute against the client's phone number on Immani, describing the issue and the amount owed.
2. The client is notified, and a private window is opened for direct communication.
3. If the issue is not resolved within this window, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up the client's phone number on Immani.
4. The client may respond and agree to pay, or the dispute may be closed with a settlement. Immani Legal AI can also help you understand your rights as a freelancer or consultant in Kenya.
