Haven’t been paid for a Non-Union commercial… now what?

Wondering how to go about this situation. I try to not be annoying and not make enemies, but this is getting out of hand.

Back in July of 2024 I shot a Non-Union commercial for the state of California. In the contract that I signed there’s a clause about still shots that MIGHT be taken on set for promo and a pay bump IF they get used. They took the shots and they used the shots. I’ve been given my buyout and my day rate, but even that was about 3 months after the shoot date. It is now January of 2025 and I still have not received a check.

I’ve contacted my agent about it and they don’t seem to be doing a whole lot and I’ve contacted the production company/the one’s who are paying me out multiple times and I keep getting the runaround and being told to check back in in X amount of time.

I’m over waiting and it’s not LIFE CHANGING money, but 2.5k could really help your boi out.

At this point is there any legal action I could take? Would it even be worth it? Any ideas on what my next step should be?
