Need an ex customers name
« on: October 27, 2013, 09:30:51 pm »
Someone owes me £15 for a window clean, he won't pay it and I was going to get a Thomas Higgins letter sent but I believe you need a full name to do this. Does anyone know of a way to find out someones full name, I have his address and surname. Was going to use electoral role but you have to pay a tenner to buy credits, won't be worth it for one name.
Anyone know any other way I could get his first name?

Have you actually called and asked for the money face to face? Cheaper than faffing about.
It's a game of three halves!

I agree,
mate for £15 its hardly worth it, if you have it out with him and he still refuses to pay (providing he got what he paid for at agreed price) I would take greater pleasure in putting the dirt back on his windows and then seeing his face.

It's not the amount he owes me, it's the principal. I've let debts go before as I couldn't be bothered with chasing them up but this guy is a lying prick and I don't want him to get away with it.

Has one recently, same amount, calls, notes through door etc.
I was really fed up  because it was a first clean and filthy so decided to keep on.
Finally sent a letter explaining that I clean the windows, our accountants handle the financial side. I get six weeks to collect and if I have not been able to settle the account within this time the accountants take over the debt and in the case of a first clean pass it straight to the debt collection agency.
After ..... date the next communication would be a demand for around £132 from the debt collection agency, and I named one. This representing acquisition costs, interest, admin charges and search fee.
Failure to pay this amount would result in court action.
Got a cheque the next day.
Put Take notice in big read letters on the letter etc.

give them a call (using a phone that they don't know the number of or 141 your own phone), starting with Good morning/afternoon is that Mr .........?
Mr John (use any name here) ........ ? then they will say either yes (if it is) or no it is ...... (giving correct name)

You say thank you... and hang up the phone...
