That £8.00 I was owed...
« on: March 20, 2013, 06:05:07 pm »
Well, after a month, endless phone calls, door banging etc... they answered the phone this morning.

A simple 'I suggest you pay me this money else ill knock your door through myself and get it' they told me to come round and collect as I sounded angry  ;D

Tip of £2 aswell  :D

Was not giving in, on this one  ;D

£8? That is serious upset and celebrating over such a small sum. Is there another thread I missed where you take us through the whole saga of how he kidnapped your kids and set fire to your house?

You never heard of 'principles' you let one off they'll all expect it. Good on you for getting it. Some people just blatantly take the p1ss

It would annoy me, but £8 isn't worth the aggro. What was it you cleaned as a one off for £8? A wing mirror?

Had a customer turn me over over £900 a couple of years ago. What would you have done if that was the case?

Agh your one of these new cleaner s who have a ionics system and only clean mansions. You do ten a day and earn £200 a house. You don't do semis or even know what a council house looks like

Well done mate. It doesn't matter the amount it's the principle. We would never trick someone into working for us without ever intending to pay them so why should we let it be done to us.

Well done James for sticking to your guns. I would not worry about your reputation for expecting payment.Some just take who ever they can. I will not let people get away with not paying me.I nag until they pay me.
