my son is working on a website at the moment - hopefully will be online in the next month.  He wants it to be a UK-wide list of bad payers etc, there are a few problems such as people moving etc but he should get that sorted out ok.


didn't want to let the cat out of the bag but felt it was the right time.

How do the rest of you feel about it?

He says he may need to charge a nominal fee to cover bandwidth costs etc but that it would most likely be about £1 a month.

I doubt very much if this would be a wise move. You would have to post peoples addresses and details and make it available to the web for anyone to see.

Check where you stand legally, before you get yourself into trouble

I doubt that enough window cleaners would exchange information to make it effective but its a good idea.

It would be very interesting to know the history of some of these customers, what happened with the previous window cleaner, and the one before that.

I smell juicy solicitors fees! How do you know the difference between genuine non payers and the people who irratated their window cleaner by maybe having the audacity to complain about shoddy work, who then decided to add them to your data base?

crack two eggs in a bowl,mix them up in a blender,empty a w/up liquid bottle, pour in the blended egg,then go and squirt it over his windows.Don't throw eggs @ the window as that could crack the glass.

Try an aerosol can of bicycle chain grease if you want to go down that route. Personally, Im not that partial to prison food.

A mate of mine who is a taxi driver and works nights used to get paid by a debt collector to phone people at three oclock in the morning and ask them when they were going to pay. He would call from a phone box so the calls couldn't be traced.

It was very effective apparantly and he was quite well paid for it.
