Your right about the windows , upon reflection it would not be a good idea to go into either of the pubs and kick off !
Unless of course you want to crawl out with no knee caps !
That idea would cost you more than £700  ;D

Write a letter but be specific about what you are going to do and what he needs to do to avoid court action.

Dear Sir

I reget to inform you that unless payment of our outstanding balance of......
is made within 7 days I will take action to recover the money in the Small Claims Court.

Yours etc

This has worked brilliantly for me in the past and they coughed up by return of post ;D

hi mate,
 im sorry to hear that your being riped off like that.. it makes me mad!
there are more ways to skin a cat... i would phone waits and messeur to say that he is adding water to his spirits and not serving a full pint and also short    changing his customers. you can also have a trip or fall at his pub in a toilet as ther was water on the floor, i would defo rip a few seats and i would have great plesasure in scraching his prid and joy and mybe the odd brick at his window. if he serves food, report him to the public healt ;Dh as his kitching is in a bad state.
it only takes a phone call and you dont have to give your name neather and all that would cos him sooooooo mutch poop he wouldnt know whats hit him, with.  papper work and a lot off time and money, and i would go to the small claims court to. we do things differant down this neck off the woods. wales. good luck mate, get him!

If everyone here advertises themselves as professional window cleaning businesses then you have to be professional about everything that goes with it, including bad debt.

When i 1st started i got my own back on someone who owed me money. Yes i felt better about it, but i didn't get my money and it took time out of my schedule to do it when i could have been earning.

In the last 18 months i must have written off around £200 and put it down as experience. I have replaced them all now with proper, regular paying customers.

Anyone now who messes about with payment gets 3 reminders with the last been a warning about it been taken to a Small Claims Court.
