just reading between the lines about your customers comments about "its only widow cleaning" shows the attitude towards you and your business and the service you provide i get the view they look down at you perhaps you need to look at yourself and what you do and the customers you have .
Out of the 6 who refused what's the average cost/charge

I have just had issues again with this around brighouse. I put a letter out to all my customers yesterday warning them about it.

The police sent someone out to see me last weekend but they were not very helpful.

The guy can be quite aggresive when custys refuse to pay and he has got away with a few payments from young staff who were intimidated.

he still tries to get money from jobs that pay me by bacs and has managed it on a few occasions.

This happened to me on a large scale a year or so ago. I took matters into my own hands and caught the little c@nt in the act thanks to the quick thinking of my customers. He eventually got jailed and was sentenced to 4 years if I remember rightly. I was based in Mirfield at the time.

I remember us talking about it at the time cos I was having problems too.

happened here in harrow over the summer , some O A P s paid him even though they knew he wasnt their window cleaner as they felt scared not to !
police got involved , ( not just my round ) but i dont think anything ever happened !

[alank]

happened to us about two years ago.the t@$$£R caught out a good number of our custys plus he scammed the milkman who worked the same area, one of my good custys rang me and when he found out he had been scammed he and his neighbour gave chase. i drove straight there in the 4x4 with some friends we just missed him, the police had him arrested in the next village.

That's what I thought  .
But he might have been using ladders on the non-existent clean......and they are banned.

Sorry.. I was wrong it was five and a half years.

Copied from the newspaper at the time.

A MAN who posed as a window cleaner to rip off the elderly is behind bars for five-and-a-half years.

John Foggo, 29, took 38 off an 89-year-old woman who lived alone after pretending he had cleaned her windows three times.

He even took 2 from her next-door-neighbour to make up the 40 he said the woman owed him.

Foggo, of Oliver Gardens, Mirfield, pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud and one of burglary.
