update on this guys n gals,letter received stating they do not want to go to court and want both parties to walk away...paying me 50 percent of my bill as invoiced through sub contractors

been nothing but hassle this i can either accept and move on or chase them down for the extra money ...think ill sleep on it for another fortnight to **** them off!

this has happened as my bill spiralled due to all the add ons and changes they made.....came to the point they were up **** creek financially and got the builder in from upstairs job who was clearly disgruntled i had nipped a job that he should have really priced and won to do it for cheaper


some very sad people around

stuff 'em Jamie, hold out for at least 75% or at least enough to cover all your costs. 50% is their opening gambit, you'll get more so don't be tempted to take it.

To avoid the hassle I'd tell them you'd settle for 3/4 of the bill but the offer is only for one week or you will take them to court for the full amount.

i am tempted to take them for all of it...after all it was them who aproached a solicitor

I completely agree but if they really are having trouble financially you may end up with sod all even if you get judgement.

id love to see you get it all though

Just been reading this thread.
This is bloomin awful, what's wrong with people at the moment?? You did nothing wrong and yet you have to lose out to these idiots.
But of course we're all out to rip everyone off aren't we according to the telly
Hope you get this sorted mate.
****S!
I phoned a supplier of mine offering to pay him by internet transfer, 'i only take cash or cheque' he says,
well i'm not around i'm in Wales, gimme your details it'll be in your bank tonight i say.
Reluctantly he gives them me saying that he 'hates' internet transfers and they **** up his books, uh?
I offer to pay him direct, and the invoice number appears on his bank statement, and i get moaned at?????
FFS!
