What do you do when a customer doesn't pay you? Should there be a window cleaners customer black list?

As I never clean again if they havent paid for the previous clean then can only got caught for one clean so would just move on ............... however if it was for a large amount then there are various ways to get my money.

used to go around on a Saturday collection the slow / non payers but now thankfully have a settled round with 99% great payers.

I had the worst payer on my list continue to just ignore me, the wife of a premiership footballer as well, i sent 148 text messages as well as 4 in the morning 11 at night everything, (the moved to london but still have there hosue) i sent one last messgae saying obviously you dont want to pay so ill just put the debt over to our solicitors ( i havent even got one) and send a letter to your club etc straight away i got a message back kicking off saying i cant belive you have been like this and our paypal has been cancelled thats why we havent paid whats you bank account number, so i gave it and they paid by PAYPAL.
i later found out that the guy quit his national team by text message, needless to say i had great pleasure in dumping my most expensive house
