don't bother with soliciter .just send him a letter that if it's not paid with in 7 days it will go to court then take action in 7 days
I dont understand you,if youve done the work then call round and get your moneyI don’t think you lot understand, I could loose half a day calling round these jobs, at the moment we just don’t have the time, we have a hedgecutter running flat out and I’m part of the 4 man fencing team, Sunday is reserved all day for seeing jobs and moving sheep. So it’s much easier to delegate the job to the professionals
At the moment people think you aren't bothered. Better to think you will take action if not paid, the non payers won't ask for work they won't pay for then!I think from now on, on month 3 of owing cash it’ll have to go to the debt collectors. I can’t think of a reason not to apart from people thinking I’m a money hungry turd, but I’d rather have that rep than the laid back pay me when you feel approach I must subconsciously give out.
I wouldn’t mind so much if someone is genuinely hard up with a cash flow issue but not when the cruise past in the flash 4x4 giving the royal wave whilst spilling caviar down there double chin.
It would surely be a profitable day though?I don’t think you lot understand, I could loose half a day calling round these jobs, at the moment we just don’t have the time, we have a hedgecutter running flat out and I’m part of the 4 man fencing team, Sunday is reserved all day for seeing jobs and moving sheep.

Not in my eyes, the profit in the job you are chasing is declining the longer you wait for your cash, and every hour I’m off the job not earning it’s more out of the bottom line, running about is a waste of fuel and time, if it takes me an hour it’s cost me more than the £3 to start legal proceedings and let’s them know I’m sick of there crapIt would surely be a profitable day though?
If you needed it badly you would go though iv had to do it, no point being scaredNot in my eyes, the profit in the job you are chasing is declining the longer you wait for your cash, and every hour I’m off the job not earning it’s more out of the bottom line, running about is a waste of fuel and time, if it takes me an hour it’s cost me more than the £3 to start legal proceedings and let’s them know I’m sick of there crap
Another vote for small claims court, fill in the forms online, pay the fee, get judgement awarded against them if they don't pay, they will get a letter from the court warning them of the consequences of not settling the debt (bad credit score etc) frightens most into paying up as it upsets their credit cards etc
Only takes a few minutes to do online
Or the contractor who cashed the cheque 25 weeks later!I've just been watching, "The sheriffs are coming". All I need now is a debtor!
What about contractors who won't send a bill...until months later when I've forgotten to budget for it. Almost as bad as bad payers!
A dangerous stupid game , had they gone to the Police you could have ended up doing time, fact.This works. I called with some slow paying tenants the day before Christmas Eve and explained that if they didn’t cough up I’d ‘help’ them to move out in the morning.
First response was that they were skint, but after I explained that if I was going to have a rubbish Christmas because of them, then they could have a rubbish Christmas because of me... suddenly they found £1000 under the bed!!
Merry Christmas!
