I'd do the job and see if he pays the £8 just out of curiosity.

If he does and wants it done regular, I'd carry on provided he pays each time and just write the past off as one of those things.

If he doesn't pay, then I'd put a compliment slip through his door saying something like 'congratulations, you've ripped me off twice and I hope that makes your life a little bit happier' and then I'd forget it.

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.

I had this Fella that would not pay.Got fed up of going to collect and he would not be in when we arranged a time.So I just put the Hose tail through the letter box and put a few liters into the lounge. That would dampen his B/S ideas down a bit. I just get so mad with people that mess me around and think they can get away with it. It does help the frustration a bit.Yes and don`t tell me its wrong we are not all angels.

He's winding you up. If he had done what he says he's done in the past he'd have been put on his back by now. He's an old duffer anyway is Smithie.

When he farts he follows through. He's got a bus pass, wears incontinence pants and hasn't got it up for decades.

Like that!! 

UPDATE:

I was in her road again yesterday, and, yes you've guessed it, she called me over again!

I waved as before, and called out 'OK!'. To make sure I was going to call this time, she got in her car and drove over, repeating that she wants me to call.
I reminded her that she still owes me 60 euro for previous cleans. She said she will pay me, to which I tell her that I will do them when the money is in my hand. She agrees.

When I get to her house, she points out that one of her spot light bulbs in her fascia boards needs changing, so can I change it for her. I say 'yes, when I have been paid'. She says 'It's only a bulb', to which I reply 'and it's my time'.
'But you will be doing the windows as well!' says she. 'When I have been paid', says I, adding 'I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I've been screwed over too many times, and I cannot afford to work for nothing.'

The upshot of this is that I still didn't get my money (I didn't expect to) but she still has a duff fascia spot light, dirty windows and no mug to clean them.

I feel even better than I did last time.
