just to inform everyone about a cleaning company based in colchester essex,who phone up window cleaners and get them to clean shop front windows of so called company,s who they say,they do there cleaning for,they get you to start cleaning them a.s.a.p and tell you they will send all the nessary paper work for you to fill in and send it back to them ,and they will pay you I ve cleaned this shop 6 times never got paper work from them to fill-in and every time i phone them they just keep fobbing me off,Today i managed to speek to the owner ? we had a heated conversation and the outcome is he,s comming down to sort me out this weekend,????. let,s hope it does,nt get nasty,,but beware everyone
-
thats round my manor, wot r they called?
-
Put in an offer to the shop for window cleaning or even better for their general cleaning as well. Hope you get it sorted and he doesn't turn nasty. Would be good to name the company though so no others are stung.

Pretty sure it's the same company that still owes me over £120 for cleaning a local bookies. Very tempted to post the company name on here but worried it might cause some legal issues.
Where would I stand in outing this company given that they actually owe me money and it's not just me slagging off their reputation but an honest account of an outstanding debt
-
i would love to name the company,but think it,s better for legal reasons if i don,t only to say when i google maped them they seem to be on some sort of high street location,they even have a fancy web site .

funny you say that sunshine ,it was a local bookmakers that i was cleaning for them here in southend

watchdog out people all the time, just tell us, we'll have a whip around for your defence if needed.
-
sunshine, if its true then it is not slander u r just saying what has already happened, say who it is so other can avoid them
-
Get in touch with your local trading standards office, as well as the police, you might be able to get them nicked for obtaining services by deception.
If they are a registered company take them to the small claims court as well, I would also send a bill and letter explaining what has happpened to all the shops that you have cleaned as well.
They might not pay you but they will be ticked off with the company who was surposed to do the job.

thanks for the offer p.r windows,the thing is i don,t wish to hurt or offend anyone, all i want is to do my work and get paid for it,i have a wife and family and it,s a sad thing of what could result over money (and only a small amount at that) i wish i had some back-up round my way to help out if need be,but the trouble is if you do that where could it all end....

Why is that then,is it a prerequisite of cleanitup that you have to be a member of the cosa nostra.
If it is then i will willingly not participate....
I would suggest to the original poster,who obviously has some moral standing,to get legal advice if the amounts owed are worth going down that route,otherwise maybe forget the whole scenario and move your business forward which is obvious from your posts that is what you are in business for.
Nice modification to your post there...no i wouldn't allow anyone to get assaulted,i would allow the authorities to deal with the situation if it managed to get that far.... ::)

leagal is a waste of time m8 ::) ur not talkin a small amount of money. i know wot ur sayin & kind of agree :-\ i just dont take kindly 2ur comment ( wannabe gangsters ) wrong choice of words m8.

Sorry to offend you,however you were the one who posted that you were nearly in the Mafia (with a wink attached...no wot i mean mate ;D)...You know some unsavoury people in your manor (my god reg & ron will be turning and no doubt arther daley as well).....
I dont really want to start off on the wrong footing,but this type of advice portrays a certain characteristic that shouldn't have any place.
The legal route is not a waste of time,it is the right thing to do in business,not just in business though. :)
