Nearly £1,400 here but about half of that is not actually overdue as there are some commercial jobs where we agree a timescale that hasn't been exceeded yet.
Only a few of them seem to be taking the piddle.

1085.00
-
about £250 collect a lot of them most dommestics
-
after today about £130.00
-
£1556 :-[
-
That’s quite a variation.
I usually just leave a SAE and wait, but due to falling behind with my round I might go out a collect over the next week.
-
£450 at present with about £150 of that in cheques that should be landing on my doormat in the next few weeks.
a lot of days this week ive got 70-80% of my days earnings in when i clean as a lot have been retired custies or housewifes.GOOD PAYERS!! ;) ;D ;D

less than £100, but i stop cleaning after 2 missed payments and dont clean commercial till i get paid for the last one, except where agreed
-
People who only owe for one Month and the amount they owe is £283.00 ;D
-
being owed nearly a grand is no excuse for not buying a set of clothes ;D ;D
that picture reminds me.....i am putting my foot down with the wife and DEMANDING a new apron this year. 8)
-
£750 owed on window cleaning round and £3122 on one truck cleaning contract
-

i started doin this 2 months ago. it makes you realise just how much of your life you waste darting around chasing money. to start with i didnt like waiting for cheques, but they soon started flowing in
-
I have 2 rounds pay already by cheque by my older work is all still collecting bar a very small number who pay by bacs etc
I cant wait to give up collecting
I spent 3-4 hours the other night, had over 600 owing and got £50 in, its a soul destroying waste of time!
That was a one off but just reinforced how much of a bad idea it is, i always liked the idea of seeing the custy etc, and the personal touch but its just not worth it the cons out weight the pros!!
-
about £700 owed £300 is commercial, so £400 worth in domestic.
i had a £7.50 customer give me £7.50 for december and £100 cheaque for next years 12 cleans, change leaves a £10 tip.
pitty i didnt have a few more like that.
some customers pay quarterly in advance
some pay bimonthly in arrears
some have the money on the side table ready waiting even if you come collecting 3 weeks later
-
I am probably owed around about £100 at any given time. Apart from a couple of customers with which I have special arrangements if cheque is not recieved within a week or so they get a phone call.
-
I have had simaler late payment problems of late. AS from new years it will cost them and admin cost to pay later and it will cost even more if its over a month.They all have the cash just sloppy. It costs me if I am late with my bill.I will be sending they a copy of my new terms of business.I will apply it very ridgedly.IF THEY DONT PAY i WILL GO SMALL CLAIMS AT THERE COST.
-
A phone call is usually enough. Small claims court doesn't work anyway. You can get a judgement although its rarely worth the time and effort. Even so there is no mechanism for making them pay up.
Anyway, they only have to say they were in all that day and the windows were never cleaned and the case will be thrown out almost certainly
-
I have had a few I call and they apologise for not paying and then just forget payment again.In the case of small claims court is it not the defendents duty to prove I did not clean.as I do drop invoice them on the day.

Sounds reasonable but i wouldnt look at the figure to much its more what % of your round worth is still owed to you, personally if its higher then maybe 20 or 30% then see whats going on.
thats how i do it anyway.
-
I told everyone about 3 months ago that I was no longer going to collect,
This has resulted in quite a lot being in arrears.
I made a big mistake by never taking customers phone numbers, I wish I had now, it's so much easier if you can call and ask them to pay. I have an increasing amount paid on line, and I have been really pushing this method of payment.
-
About 500 quid. That's pretty normal for me.

£250 abouts bin as high as £700 in the past
-
1207.50
And that's not counting debts I have written off. Although its been months and years I still remember who they are and how much they owe, and one day I will find them at home, and they will pay!
-
I always seem to be owed at least £250 for domestics
-
