PAYMENT WITHHOLDING NOTICE 28/05/13
Thank you for your efforts at ---------, I am withholding payment for 30 days or until my client has signed off your works.
As per my email dated 02/05/13 the job was sub-contracted to you to be re-measured against the rates that I set.
You had no complaint when you agreed to the job, however you have not completed the work and refused to go back to site, so your work has been supplemented by others and any costs will be subtracted from your account.
You cannot accept a job, take the easy money, then walk away from the difficult parts.
Regarding your invoice, the measures are incorrect, I did not agree to pay for 5 days parking, and your have asked for dayworks with no supporting evidence of work completed. Can you forward details of what work was carried out on which days/dates and hours spent.
Finally, it appears that your floor tiling to the Ground floor changing rooms is not laid to specification, ie, not flat and not level. You were paid to latex the floor so there’s no reason why the floor is not flat and level. There was plenty of material available to do this. My client may request that the entire floor is taken up and relaid!
There are other areas of work on the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] and 5[SUP]th[/SUP] floor that were not carried out as asked.
Until I receive my clients snag sheet all payment is withheld, so I ask you to be patient in the meantime and to get snags completed when asked.
Regards
What is your opinion about this?Can I do something to have my money?I spend all days 43 pounds for parking,10 pounds for Congestion Charge.I send him this i-mail;
Dear 'CONTRACTOR' ----------------
I just want to remember you about your i-mail send to me in 02.05.2013,this is not a Contract,is just one propose.I never signed one contract with your Company.Like you can see in i-mail,was one proposal job for 3 days,no more.All the work done after this 3 days for your company was agreed in site,or in SMS,if you not have records I can provide to send to you.Job done at 4 floor and 5 floor I have receive to SMS,daywork or sqm,I agree with you daywork.Tiket parking instructions can find in i-mail.I have all documents need for report your company to Claim Court.I receive just today CIS from you,just for last month,but I have all invoices and your payment made in my account with 20%deducted for my taxes,started in 04.2012.
Firstly, every contractor has a legal requirement to produce and issue a deduction statement to the sub-contractor; this is the same a payslip if you are employed. Failure to comply can result in penalties.I am able to prove the deductions if have not got the statements and this can be done via invoices and the payments made by your company; invoice value less payment amount should equal 20% deduction. If contractors do not produce or refuse to produce the statements, I must report them to HMRC. Regards,Eduard Simon.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The invoice was for 5 dayswork,2 days screed and latex,3 days wall upstairs.The site manager agree with me need 2 h for wall,I tell him and his aswer was -''no problems''. 12 walls x2h=24h.Ticket parking for 5 days(3 days park in office parking,and 5 tickets pay by me)Floor x sqm 17 pounds.
