The good thing about windows the way I see it
We're only investing time and not money out of pocket
( I no time is money before anyone says)

So It only takes a little time lost to figure out a bad custy
Just my thoughts

Ive been in this game over 14 years and I can honestly say Ive only had three debts in that time that I've had to write off.

Two were for negligible sums, maybe £10 each or so and the third was for £960 from a builder about 18 months ago. Still waiting for the receiver to sort their books out, I might get £1.50 from that after the banks and tax-man have their slice.

I know the figure and it makes me cry, lets just say its a lot more than a few hundred quid.

One thing though, once I write it off I feel a load better (odd but true)

hanging onto negativity costs us more money long term.

I have just written off 19 pounds last week thinking never going to get it. And today a cheque has landed from them so im happy. In the last 3 years that is all I have had to write off. Must be lucky.

Less than £100 last year. Got very lucky though as a builder went bump literally 2 days after paying my £980.00 invoice. I'm still confused as to why I got paid and loads of local business' got took for anywhere from £500.00 to £100,000.00

£15 last year due to a lovely lady that died of cancer. :'(
The bank returned the cheque to me but i did not
want to hassle her son for the money at the time.
