Title: Text from customer
Post by: A & J Owen Window Cleaning on June 25, 2012, 07:44:33 am
Hi all
Had the following text from customer
'hi, I am cancelling my windows because the last two times you say you did them, I cannot see any difference, sorry'.
The windows were done twice, 10th May and 13th June. The customers son was there on the 13th so knows they were done.
I'd just ignore but she hasn't paid. Personally, I think she can't pay but I don't want her to think she has just got away with it?
how would you respond?

get round there for payment today if close enough but keep at it I nearly got stiffed for £40 recently ... took about 6 months but got it in the end the differnce was though I had text proof that work was asked for and done (conny roof)

some on here will say just let it go which is probably the more sensible thing to do timewise.

got a mate local to me who if this happens puts the dirt back onto the windows ... flower bed / old brush / upstairs windows .. u get the idea.

why not reply saying in order for us to cancel the service the outstanding debt on your account needs to be cleared to allow us to do this.

Am going to reply to say that we are sorry that she wishes to cancel but that payment to be made in next 7 days for outstanding money and that if there was any issue with cleaning it should have been raised immediately. We will then confirm cancellation of service from date of receipt of monies. See what she makes of that!  ;D

Leave it move on... Send a letter epxplaining that it's been done
Or better still pop round face to face.
If I get a difficult customer I just move on and thank them for
Their custom, plenty more fish in the sea. Can't. E bothered
With chasing money
