We've had worst excuses for 'not today please'. How about the excuses you get when you chase up payment.... 98%+ of my customers are prompt payers but we all get the occasional one. Recent excuses I've had are:
- I'm skint
- I've only just found your ticket
- My bank account has been hacked
If it happens too often I usually drop them (can't be bothered to Go Cardless ).
-
"Sorry, I sent your bacs payment to my daughter by mistake."

Im doing it right now !! "Tapping phone", three weeeks later, still not arrived >:(

‘My Husbands in Afgan and he’s taken the cheque book’!

I had one years ago that used to blame me for not getting paid by saying, “You always call when I’ve got no money”
-
Someone collected the money. Wasn't it you?
Well I havnt ever collected from you and it wasn't me so NO
-
Only just found the slip is the most common with me..
-
I have just had someone pay me upfront for the year.
-
You didn't leave a slip!

Generalizing I know but it's usually those with a new bmw or similar on the drive and botoxed and lip-fillered wife that are the worst payers. First couple of cleans are paid by cash they scrabble around for, followed by "can we pay online" , which is ok for the next couple then the late payment chasing begins. And ends very shortly after when they get dumped.
May be the best way to get money out of them is to start a credit line for them at 50% interest as that seems to be the way they buy everything else ::)roll
