Had a guy wander over 6 months ago for a price for his front only accross the road. I quoted £8.00 monthly and said I could have it done within the week. Great he said. Job was done that week.

That weekend we got an email from this guy stating he never asked us to clean the windows, just wanted a price. He also stated he would pay the £8.00 this time, which he never did. Numerous emails were sent, all ignored so I dropped it for the sake of £8.00.

Jump on 6 months and I have been leafletting again, the type you put in the window. Guess who has one in the window. How do I deal with this? He's either a total chancer or has mental health issues.

Put a note through and say when you get £8 for last clean you will think about cleaning them again!

[steven ainger]

He might of moved

[elite mike]

i would not kiss on him if he was on fire  

[TomCrowther]

Do it properly this time, you might even get paid  .

[davids3511]

He might of moved

No, same car.

[davids3511]

I did it to my usual high(est in the area) standard. 

[stuart mc]

just blank him, Ignore the card, less stress that way

[home6442]

Hes forgot that you cleaned them before these messers target
every window cleaner they can.
You can be sure that your not the first to get ripped off by this guy and you
wont be the last.

I had a case recently with an ex-customer who owes me a fair chunk, but I cannot, and probably will never, get my money from her. She treats workers like her personal slave, and I sacked her off when I had had enough (not soon enough as I really try to see the good in people but she had gone too far with her mickey taking).

She saw me cleaning a few doors up, and called out to me to come over. I waved and called back 'OK'. When I finished the house I was doing, I loaded up and drove off.

Felt great!

I am back there this week. Looking forward to it.

£16 cash up front

Then if he pays you (highly unlikely)
Just wet the windows and be gone 

[richard jagger]

I would go along with him then say first clean is always cash up front. Then if he paid I would not clean them.if not I would spray white wash on the windows and when he calls say I never cleaned them.

[George Gardner]

Tracking back, sorry im slow, what card in the window? Your card? How would that work?

drop a leaflet with the rear saying summit like were back in area a week a never please leave this in your window if you would like a quote.

never tried it myself but good idea imho

as for the dilema ... there isnt one .. just ignore the scumbag or if ur a fighter take his money up front and tell him thats for the clean last year .... too many good customers out there to worry about the chancers in life

good on yer John.  

Good on yer?

How does that work?

 

Why didnt you ask her for the outstanding money she owes you?

[steve123]

Why not send a mate round to quote him. Then don't clean them but get your mate to call round in the dark to collect. maybe he is too stupid to realize they were not cleaned and you get your money.
Either way it would be a laugh

Because she would come out with yet another excuse and I am not going to waste my breath on asking her.
