i got fed up being messed about for payment by a one off clean so i gave them a visit at 6am this morning, nice load knock on the door, paid no problem.
has anyone else done this, what other methods work to get payment
-
I have never collected at 6am however I have been known to block a car or 2 in with the van :)
-
first time i have done it, i had tried the txt, email and knocking for my money in the evening to no avail.
i will have to try this method of collecting again as it seemed to work.
-
It is tempting got a custy at the minute who continues to tell me they are going to pay online each time i see them , They owe for 2 cleans and i am getting a bit fed up , they will be getting dropped once i have got my money. MIKE

If you came knocking on my door at 6am you wouldnt be getting money would be more like a trip to a&e .

Agreed. I think you are putting yourself in a potentially dangerous position ???
-
could be contrued as harassement. If someone did that to me, money owing or not, I'd call the police.

There is always some who will see the dark side. Till it happens to them. I wish all your cuties don`t pay soon and then try telling some one that cares. We have another budding attorney in our forum.

I admire your tenacity ... even I wouldnt knock this early at a bad debtors ... 7.30 maybe
-
if people mess you about, they have to expect you to try to get your money that is owed to you, lets just say a threat to put me in a&e would be laughed at, i am never threatening but my message gets put over, the ones that usually try it on are women.
i did think it may be seen as haressment, thats why all i did was ask for money owed, the police always knock at that time of the morning when they want to find someone in :)
-
One offs never get done without someone being in to pay on completion...

i always remember collecting a house at 2.30 in the morning i passed his house after comeing out of a night club a good few years back he was a post man his light was on he was a really bad payer i was drunk and thought sod it he payed aswell lol

so you think its right to knock at a door at 6am , i understand where you are coming from about being owed from them , im just saying from my point of view that if people were to knock on my door that early i wouldnt be happy and it wouldnt have been a threat to put you in a&e i would have just smashed you in the face for waking my grandkids up .

What happens if the windy is more aggro and beats you back and you go to A &E.
-
which would happen if you tried that with me, i,m 17 stone, 6ft ex bouncer, thats why i don't need to make threats, just ask for my money that is owed to me, it is their fault that i turn up at that time of the morning

DS is on the interweb, I know, but he's probably the hardest window cleaner in the World.

does that mean 5ft 6" and you new it was a female home alone you could intimidate at 6am
-
just for future if you are going to collect at 6am you can end up in a bit of trouble for haressment legal times for going to collect a debt are between 8am and 10 pm .
oh and by the way im just a little bit bigger than you ;D

Bigger you are the harder you fall..
Didn't realise being 17st and EX bouncer made you hard (cos they're all hard aren't they ..) NOT!
I've seen kids youre size and build wasted off smaller chaps.... cos they can fight and have speed and deceptive power...
I'm not dissing you here mate... all im trying to say is as a business professional person (which i assume you are) you just have to be tadge more diplomatic as opposed to using brute force n bullying tactics...
Cos you just never know who is on the other side of the door regardless of who you think you are..
-
as i said, i just ask for my money that is owed to me, i am never threatening but firm, so where this accusation ofbrute forcen bullying tactics comes from i don't know, i wasn't the one that said if i knocked on their door i would get a punch in the face.
knocking at 6am was just a tactic i used to get money that was owed to me this time, that was succesful, i started this thread to see if anyone had some ideas for people to be able to collect money that belongs to them.

If i was to come and knock on your door at 6am , knock you up out of bed wake your family up how would you react ?
dont suppose you would be happy would you .
-
if i owed someone money and messing them about, i would think it was my fault so deserve it, but i don't owe anyone anything.
if people don't like that tactic, why not come up with other ideas, which was intended by this thread.
-
how much was you owed ?
-
how much was you owed ?
£2.25 !!!

i'd have knocked at 5am for that amount! ;D
