Slow payment

[Northeastfarmer]

The one on the left came to our office to take instructions on a debt. Couldn't retrieve the money so we are in court tomorrow, £8.5k.
There is no excuse for not paying for work that you asked someone to do or for the supply of goods that you ordered. If you haven't the means to pay why on earth would you ever order a shed or anything else come to that.
If you need to borrow money go see your bank manager, the guy that's doing that work or supplies your goods needs to eat as well.

Some people have no conscience!

That's not good at all, must add up to a fair chunk of money and you've still gotta pay the wages after each job.

Fingers crossed I'll have another job lined up for you shortly!

This.

None whatsoever, many know they can't/wont pay, or have a perverse sense of entitlement.

Thats why i cant get through my head all those that make out that we dont need any sub. I know in my situation i can pay my bills on time (with in reason) but without my sub i couldnt. Simple as that. When the bps comes in hopefully on time there is a fair chunk will go back out within that month.

Exactly right...they just aren't bothered in the slightest....I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I owed someone some money.

These sort of threads always remind me of a plumber that mum and dad used to use years ago, he was quite a character, when out at any social events etc if anyone asked him what he did for a living he would say " I provide interest free loans for tuppenny ha'penny toffs"

My dad saw of one my debters this morning and said to him "he'd be doing alright if it wasn't for all these jobs he keeps doing for charity"

Haha! Well if you struggle to pay for your packed lunch each day I've still got that 100sq.m job I haven't tackled yet! Might keep you in food for a couple more weeks!

 

[Lazy Eric]

This is unreal,,, June???!!! We buy nothing or have services done if we can't pay in the required 30 days.. it's just good business to pay and be paid on time....

 

[pettsy]

One of the joys of self employment....chasing money owed

You've seen the amount I eat right?

Same here. Our silage contractor doesn't send out invoices until December though how the hell he manages for cash flow is beyond me. Times are hard and there just isn't the money about. Still no excuse for slow payment though. If / when the subs end there are going to be huge changes.

 

[J 1177]

U simply cant take that ammount of money out of an industry and it not have a major effect.

 

[Jim75]

Thomas higgins there ass. I've never struggled to get everything but this year have 1 or 2 at it. Not big amounts but it's the principle.

Make that couple more days...!

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Not too bad here.

The usual few who "haven't had the invoice" but always seem to receive the copy we send them.

Also, when Mrs COP rings "oh, well I thought Pete said he would collect it"

rubbish. I don't like people who don't pay me so why would I want to see you again?

 

[Johnnyboxer]

Sheds?

Don't you ask for Stage Payments?

No payment, no steel on site?

No Payment, no erection?

Do you have to stand all the concrete @RWG Contracts or do you get the customers to buy it for themselves?
