Already do this. Lil buggers don't comply. Most pay it eventually.

I still collect but only if they owe 3 or more cleans, customers are used to this now which makes the few collects that i do a month worth it, many of my old customers dont use the net and they like the old fashioned approach.
Im stupid to myself as am not that strict on payment from customers and i just let it mount up but still it all comes to me in the end..
