Comment on Ask HN: Advice for a solo SaaS founder dealing with a customer?

if the amount of money you are talking of is not "world-shaking" for you:

just get over it!!

it makes no sense to go to court / take legal actions - its just not worth your money and time.

write it off as "premium of apprenticeship" or whatever it is called in english - in german we say "lehrgeld" -, if you lose money due to your own mistakes but got an opportunity to learn something.

idk ... write them a formal letter, announcing you are deleting their accounts / accesses / data in 2 or 3 months if they do not pay until n days in the future and move on!!

in the end: large companies have more money, can afford them better lawyers than you - if they are for example a financial-institution, maybe they even have their own business-unit filled with lawyers, who don't have anything else to do than to fight your claims and they are already on the companies payroll...

just my 0.02€

I can somewhat understand the idea... but I don't see this as my mistake. A person agreed to pay for something. They signed an agreement. The payment terms were specified (N-30). The person used the product but decided not to pay.

Not sure what I can learn here, besides not allowing an enterprise access even if they have agreed to terms and signed the agreement... but that is not common. As far as I am aware, it's common to give an enterprise access as soon as the agreements have been signed.
