None Paying Customer - What advice?

[Joe Clinton]

I’ve been in contact over phone and text but not in person yet (jobs a little way out and don’t want to be investing more wasted time to it) the guy seems genuine enough, just rubbish with money I think. I didn’t worry when taking the job on as they offered payment (how much I don’t know) before I started but I don’t like doing that unless I’ve forked out on materials so I said full payment on completion. Kind of regretting that now.
After giving them a 7 day deadline to pay I’ve now passed this on to these guys at www.thomashiggins.com see if that makes any difference when they get solicitors letters through.

The other part of me thinks £800 and I’d sell the debt and let someone else try

Turn up with your kids on the doorstep and say this is the guy who is stopping us having Xmas this year ! May work ? I offered to drive mine from west wales to north east England to a large holiday park owners offices because I was struggling to get a cheque sent I told the girl I'd feed all 4 smarties and coke all the way and then leave em run around her office when we got there ! Payment in full 2 days later ! Not many slip through ! And those who do ...... I have a good memory !

Small Claim Court would be the best option. I am in Court proceedings with two clients as we speak, it will take forever to get you a court hearing but you will get most of your money back. Once they agreed on a written estimate they are pretty much screwed.
Been there done that!

Bathroom company that I deal with fills out the forms for small claims court with the date he going to submit it on then photo copies it and post them a copy . He says it works most times .
