Had a bit of a problem last week. Client refusing to pay full whack for the job agreed. Apparently a decorator went into the job afer me, the client somehow got to talking with him about the job I'd done obviously got an opinion of how much he thought the job was should be. After agreeing with me and being overjoyed at the finished job claims now he wants to only pay me £300 for a job I quoted £478 for. I've just been on the phone to them and they are not budging. In return I've said legally the adheasive under the tiles is mine and if I dont have my money within the month I'll be around to rip the tiles up and reclaim my property (adhesive, I wouldn't but hey). Whether this is a correct way to handle it I dunno but I've a bit of a temper for idoits like this and couldnt help myself.
Anyone come across this much?
How did you intimidate (being the only way to get them to pay up I feel) them into paying up? Obviously not gunna work being nice to them.

Provided the job had a written quotation small claims court is best option.No estimate,no claim your word versus his and a waste of time and effort recovering..........REMEMBER A VERBAL CONTRACT IS NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT ISN'T WRITTEN ON
