Do not work for this contractor!!!!!!!

[sranners]

I’ve done a few weeks for a contractor called Beckwell builds in East Anglia, it’s only a small ltd company and it was the boss who called me, wanted me to start as soon as poss., I did one large slate floor for him, got asked to do both bathrooms as well, I asked for all my materials up front and he seems happy with this, the day comes to start and still no pay for floor or materials, I don’t turn up. I get a phone call asking why? So he tells me he will backs it to my account, I start and low and behold still no money. I finished a month ago, still no money, on two occasions I have gone to meet him at the bank and have been stood up, last two weeks he will not answer his phone to me.
Be warned, he is full of it. He is based in the Bury st Edmunds area.

I know what i would do BUT it's not legal..:smilewinkgrin:...

Send him a recorded letter asking for payment or you will instruct a solicitor to take it further.

keep at him,dont ever give up on your money.Once bitten twice shy M8.:20:

Find out where he lives, go round about 7:30 AM and make sure his wife and kids know he has not paid you. Believe me, his misses will nag him plenty once you have been to the door a couple of times.

worked a treat for me on a few occasions

 

[David - Tradetiler]

A bit of a sly one,

Post a letter demanding payment to the builder in an unsealed envelope. On purpose, address it to the builder but to his next door neighbours address.

When the neighbours post it (unsealed) through the correct letterbox he will pretty much know his neighbours know all about unwillingness to pay. Who knows, might make him pay up a bit faster.

[David - Tradetiler]

As Dave says there is more than one way to skin a RAT!

 

[doug boardley]

try phoning him on someone elses phonehe's probably got your number on "ignore"

That's quite local to me :yikes:. Thanks for the heads up, in case I get a call from him one day.

Good luck with getting your money. As others have said, interupt his family time, send a recorded letter and if still no pay, then small claims court or your solicitor. If he doesn't pay then push for a CCJ against him, that'll hurt his credit rating and make it difficult for him to borrow money :lol:.

Then if all else fails, then revert back to plan B...
