this very rarely happens to me BUT a guy owes me £120 for conny roof clean plus windows.regular 2 monthly customer for the last year or so.always pays late but its 3 weeks since i did the job.
sent text reminders twice.replies?"sorry ill do it tomorrow" "internet banking down" etc,etc.
im gonna phone him today then if he fobs me off.pay him a visit. ;)
i didnt want to do the job in the first place but relented in the end.awkward roof sloping towards the house etc.absolute pain to clean. >:(
-
If he was already paying late just on the windows what else did you expect on a more expensive conny roof clean daz ;D
-
prompt payment is what i expect from a conny roof clean job TBH.he knows i didnt want to clean it really.i did him a favour.
i wouldnt dream of getting somebody to do a job like this and pay him 3 weeks later.i would of paid him straight after the job.
-
Probably got no money until the end of the month now.
-
14 reg motor parked on the drive Daz? ;D Got a few late payers like that here. ::)roll

Daz ... give him the either / or sales close .................. "What time Sunday can I call around to collect the money 7am or 9pm ... whats best with you ? "
-
He sounds a dick get the money of him then sack him of, £120 tho that's one I'm sure you won't rite of i sure wouldn't >:(
-
One off jobs are cash payment upfront unless they are a long term custy i know well and feel confident i can trust them , I do feel your pain Daz hopefully you will get it sorted asap .

£120 to clean a conny roof , unless it's a big conny I think you're the one fobbing him off :P
-
charge what you think your worth in my books and those connies that lean back towards the house are abit of a pain at times!
if the guy agreed to it,he should be paying it

"Will you pay me or shall I punch you on the nose?"

Sounds like he isnt in control of his finances daz and probably had some money go out and cant pay you till payday as said
He shouldnt of asked you!
I just had a good customer pay me 3 months on bank transfer and as i thought he was upto date i rang to query it and he said it was right and that he was owed £3k in wages as someone hadnt paid him so he hadnt paid for 3 months and he was sorry....
Stuff happens, hope you get paid though
I did a gutter and fascia clean today who wasnt in but said theyd pay online so hope i dont have a similar scenario this time next week :)

A friend of mine from school asked me to do her windows about a month ago, lots of messages back and forth, catching up etc, havent spoken to her for a while...anyway did them 2 weeks ago, she wasnt in, text her bank details and havent heard a thing since!!! No thank you or anything...i really need to stop doing friends houses. >:(

Aghhhh makes sense now ;) 5 new friends a week. You do realise if they don't pay they are not customers :p
-
We've had a lot trying the old I'll pay it tonight online trick just lately, managed to get the money from them all after a number of attempts but cancelled them straight after that.
Just keep going back until they pay you daz that's all you can do.
-
Good point. They're customers only when they pay, otherwise, just a name on a list.

I dont get 5 new friends a week mate ;D ...if only

If they live in the same area as you and you see them chatting in street or middle of supermarket charge straight up to them but in and ask in a loud voice when they are going to pay they will squirm but bet you get your money fairly quick
-
