Gettng money out of a non-payer!

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Evening all,

Need a bit of advice.

Got a client who's decided not to pay my bill and do a bunk to Oz! Job was done first week of Oct and all was fine. Emails saying thanks very much etc, cheques in the post. Had no cheque after 2 weeks so emailed her and got fobbed off with her husband (the plastic surgeon) has been very busy and he takes care of the finances. Really sorry, I'll make sure the cheque in the post. Same thing every 2 weeks with different excuses. Since xmas none of my emails have been returned and still no money.
I've been to the house and it's empty/for sale - 1.8 million and I cant get my £700!! Neighbours said they have emigrated to Oz! (did overhear Oz mentioned a lot by the kids so seems to make sense)

Trying to find out the best way to get my money or if any of you guys have had something similar how was it resolved? Very hard to discuss it when they ignore you! Can I claim against the house or go to court if the owner has emigrated? Its a gated house with cameras so I cant even sh*t through the letterbox!!
Is there not a telephone number on the For Sale sign for the estate agents. I would contact them,mention that you intend to put a charge against the property. The thought that they might lose their commission on a £1.8m sale might shake the leaves from trees!
