CUSTOMER FOBBING ME OFF!
« on: November 15, 2014, 08:10:36 am »
this very rarely happens to me BUT a guy owes me £120 for conny roof clean plus windows.regular 2 monthly customer for the last year or so.always pays late but its 3 weeks since i did the job.

sent text reminders twice.replies?"sorry ill do it tomorrow"  "internet banking down" etc,etc.

im gonna phone him today then if he fobs me off.pay him a visit. ;)

i didnt want to do the job in the first place but relented in the end.awkward roof sloping towards the house etc.absolute pain to clean. >:(
price higher/work harder!

prompt payment is what i expect from a conny roof clean job TBH.he knows i didnt want to clean it really.i did him a favour.

i wouldnt dream of getting somebody to do a job like this and pay him 3 weeks later.i would of paid him straight after the job.

Sounds like he isnt in control of his finances daz and probably had some money go out and cant pay you till payday as said

He shouldnt of asked you!

I just had  a good customer pay me 3 months on bank transfer and as i thought he was upto date i rang to query it and he said it was right and that he was owed £3k in wages as someone hadnt paid him so he hadnt paid for 3 months and he was sorry....

Stuff happens, hope you get paid though
I did a gutter and fascia clean today who wasnt in but said theyd pay online so hope i dont have a similar scenario this time next week :)

We've had a lot trying the old I'll pay it tonight online trick just lately, managed to get the money from them all after a number of attempts but cancelled them straight after that.

Just keep going back until they pay you daz that's all you can do.

Good point. They're customers only when they pay, otherwise, just a name on a list.
