First thing I do in the morning, check mobiles for texts and computer for e-mails, standard pratice really for any business. At least she let you know and was trying to save you a trip, not her fault you didn't read your e-mails :)

Can't believe you or anyone relies on a pay as you go though

Nothing wrong with pay and go phones. Some of us like to live our lives credit and hassle, stress free or as near to excluding mortgage and van.

Too easy to run up huge debts with credit, living life worrying are bank accounts in the black or red each month, robbing Peter to pay Paul.

I find PAYG just fine so long as I keep it well in credit i.e. top up some more when it goes under a tenner.  I'm not sure what the problem is with that really.  I used to have a contract but my useage was so erratic, it was wasted on me.  Some months I might only use £2 - others £10.

i agree with you here bob.  doesnt sound harsh to me at all

not been cleaned for 2 months and then cancels you the night before her next one by email?  i wouldnt be happy with that either to be honest.  if they cancel with less than 24hrs notice we still charge them for the clean.  i tell them that i dont go into the office before starting work in the morning so wont recieve messages till the end of the working day.

Its not being owed its my designer she needs her money for all the work shes put it - and its not massive amounts - just pay the bill really
Title: Re: thats it
Post by: stuart mc on December 16, 2011, 09:16:34 pm
shouldn't our designer be sending out reminders, making phone calls, sending emails, sitting in ofiices demanding payment like we all have to do, The issue is between the designer and whoever she has done work for, and can you elaborate or which Stuart owes because I certainly don't and I wouldn't want members thinking I do, and if you really think Huw and co read post's about customers cancelling by email you are barking, best to start a new post fao whoever

Who's Jubbly? Does he owe you some money?
Title: Re: thats it
Post by: Catherine10 on December 16, 2011, 09:21:49 pm
Yea its just minimal amounts of money Stu but she puts in so much effort to get things right bends over backwards to do a good job, and dosent get paid, great isnt it?   Its a quick turn around and Bobplumb once again can you front up the cash for Paula shes designed your logo, if you can remind Stuart also about all the work she has done for him also - just pay her what you owe her please

Its ok Bob but she just feels that shes put alot of work in and nothing has come back, shes been left for I dont know for 8 months really done your logo, helped Stuart out, done his flyer and not been paid - its understandable really.  She only wants to be paid for the effort that she has put in - and she deserves it, lot of time and stuff.  Thank you.
