what is unprofessional about ringing up and booking a driving lesson then asking for my window cleaning money when he turns up? ;D
isn't it exactly what he has done to me... booked me in for one clean, moved house, and I cleaned 2 more times without knowing!
so I added job to the system, cleaned twice without payment, called 3-4 times for money, then had to remove the job again.... messers need a lesson.

And as for those jumping on the band wagon saying '' keep professional about it'' well do you really think he is going to recommend me to anyone else anyway? he hasn't asked me to carry on at the new address( and he has my number)

The fact that youre still discussing it shows that you know youre not doing the right thing.

Either do it or dont - I recommend dont and I suspect you know that you shouldnt - but dont expect us to justify it for you.

A driving instructor rang and booked in a 3 story rented town house, i cleaned it once no problems. When i cleaned it the second time there was no answer, so another month came round and i did them again ( still no answer)
I called a few more times no answer.
Found out that he moved house without tellling me!!!! But im thinking about block booking some "driving lessons" and when he turns up i can kindly ask him for my £20.00 he owes me ;D who is in favour??

This happened to me recently.  Custy works away a lot so not unusual for her to pay 3 x clean and I don't mind as I am aware of this that is why I clean the second and third times.  After not receiving a cheque for the 3 outstanding payments I called round and the new tenant informed me she had moved in with her boyfriend two weeks before I cleaned the house for the third time. 

Now my initial reaction was 'cheeky biatch' but after calming down I sent her a very polite text explaining that I had called round and had been informed of her moving out.  She was incredibly apologetic and enquired how much owed - I said it was techinically 3x price as although the third clean was completed after she had moved out she had failed to let me know - she agreed to send 3x and a cheque arrived a few days later.

My advice is to just give the guy a call or text and you may be surprised with the result - I still believe that in the main people are generally good and this attitude tends to serve me well - ok I do meet up with the odd tosser but that's just the balance of life  ::)roll

On a side note, when I called and spoke to the 'new' tenant I asked if he had seen my 'cleaned your windows' slip he just said he thought it was something to do with the old tenant!  Load of old tosh!  Why couldn't he have given me a quick call and explained there and then eh? 

There we go - balance restored - one nice ex custie and a tosser to even things out  ;D ;D

Cheers, Tom

Today... turn up, get hose out.. look in the windows.. and she has moved, gone buggered off.... Todays Lesson... ALWAYS Charge a first clean rate....

i think its happened to me that many times over the years I might put all of them in the same category, however your not telling me that the person never once thought ( ooh I wonder if the window cleaner is still cleaning the old windows) she was obviously trying to get away with it expecting you to write it off. ;D
