Outstanding money/payments owed
« on: October 06, 2015, 05:02:49 pm »
This morning I was owed in total £104.00. (An £80.00 commercial, £20.00 residential and a £4.00 front only - old boys bungalow).

In operating for 17 years it may never have been that low, not that i can remember.

I updated it today, it's Wordpress it's either that or a security setting. I'll have a look later. Cheers.

Trouble is dealing in cash, a majority of the time, - it builds up, then before you know it - customer has wracked up a bill.  How you solve this - im not sure???.  Card payment on route I think is the way forward.  Dealing with cash payments is tricky, I think your always going to be on the back foot.  But, theres alot of chaps now taking payment by paypal, its the way to go - cut cash payments out...... I dont know.

It certainly is PW, but you have the old age generation, that like using cash, so I suppose you have to make facilities available in that direction.....

Currently somewhere around £12k owed. (Will be down to £7k on Friday) Mostly commercial that pay monthly but with 45 day terms. Quite normal for us.

Tricky I know, I used to debt chasing for one of my customers (who I canvassed for) catch em on a saturday and they would normally say sorry after a phone call
