What can be done to recover money owed for makeup service?

My wife is a beautician and did makeup for a lady for her wedding. When it was time to receive payment, the lady said she would pay the next day. The next day, when my wife called to request the payment, the lady didn’t pick up the call and only responded via WhatsApp with excuses like “I am sick,” “I am in the hospital,” and “I am going on a trip.” All the chats are saved on my phone. How can I recover the money?

If the lady refuses to pay, you can take legal action under the Consumer Protection Act, as your wife provided a service, and payment was due. You should send a legal notice demanding payment. If the issue is not resolved, you may file a case in a consumer court to recover the payment. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
