I guess it depends who you're working for, I'm quite lucky at the moment as one firm I work for pays every 2 weeks without fail and a local builder pays me within 1-2 days of invoicing him. If I work for a new company I walk away the first time they messed me about. As for any domestic work I do (Which is rare) I wouldn't leave the house until I get paid! Have had my fair share of being messed about in the past though.

I have it with one builder who always messes me about ,always pays but its stressful ,I used to charge them the same rate as the good payers but now I charge them more as I know they will make me wait
Ditto.....always get paid,but have to wait for it,however much I help them out of the do do. Then again I work for another builder who's always nagging me to put an invoice in as soon as I am finished.

I don't really have a problem getting paid. It's clear on there invoice that payment has to be made on satisfied completion. In other words, I ain't leaving till I'm paid. If they say I don't have the cash on me (even though I've been working for them for a week or so & know when I'm finishing) I say, no problem, I accept card payments too! Result!

Currently I'm using iZettle. Plugs straight into your iPhone or iPad. There is another version which uses your audio jack to take payments if you have an andriod or other devises. Can be assigned to your personal bank account or business. Accepts Visa, MasterCard, Diners & Amex. Visa is a wee bit different to do. Currently waiting on Worldpay chip & pin card reader to be accepted as that now pairs with the iPhone & iPad. Just put up a thread a few mins ago about Worldpay

I do the same as Gary, I have one particular main contractor, who can take up to 16 weeks to pay after the application date, so I hike the price up accordingly. They ring up and say that quote is a bit of the heavy side, can you do anything about it? I throw it right back at them, 'Yes I'll do something about it, when you do something about your late payments'. Fairs fair!
