Hi VGC
I think that most window cleaners have come across this problem,  
1, Try to collect the money when you clean the windows,
2 ,Try to sort out a place they could leave the money, under a plant pot or something.
3, Leave a sae and get them to send a cheque ,
4 Tell them you are now only cleaning the windows of the houses that can pay you when you have finished
5 Every new customer you get tell them you will clean the windows if you get paid as soon as you have finished, then get rid of a call back
Hopefully one of these could work for you

Hi VGC
         I see you have got a website. I have just put Nochex on my site so customers can pay on line and its working a treat. But even before that i never used to do collecting. I just pushed a card through the door asking them to send me a cheque. ;)

I do exactly the same as John. Do they have to go and collect their wages from their bosses house if they want to be paid. ::)

Without me looking at old posts how does it work do you have to pay them x amount a month, or x amount per payment

So is it like paying a cheque into your account and you have to wait x days or is it instant like a debit card
