Think I've been bumped

Gary posted about SMC a few weeks back too, it's in the arms I think. But i think it's the same as Oli's

I'm fairly sure that if they have told you the payment is on the way (i.e. posted) it is acceptance of the job, can anybody back this up?

hi fred
sorry to hear that you are owed money... i know how you feel i have not been posting on the site now for about a month as i have been in such a bad mood since the end of november. i did a job for a builder local to me that i have worked for before with no problems...3 apartments kitchen walls and floors 1 ensuite and bathroom in each.
he asked if i could supply tiles as well as he didnt have the time to chase them up.
total including tiles labour and materials came to £7500. which was payable upon completion.......guess what he had already sold the apartments when i phoned his mobile no answer so i went round to his house.....there was a SOLD sign in the drive. while standing in his drive furiously kicking the sold sign....a neighbour of his came out to complain about the noise when i explained why i was kicking the sign...he told me that they have gone to live in france somewhere in normandy...he has sold his business and scarpered. to say that i am depressed is an understatement......and to make matters worse got a phone call from the local paper which i advertise in to say that they had made a mistake with my listing and inputted the number of another tiler into my advert.

i think as they said your moneys on the way in a email legally means they were satisfied with the work

I have asked his neighbours if they have a forwarding address or if they know anyone who will but sadly they have all said no as it seems that this couple kept themselves to themselves and didnt mix with them. i am trying to find out if the company that bought his business have a contact number or address but not having much luck as i think it may be a friend of his. i know this may seem like a daft way to do business but i have worked with this builder on at least 20 previous projects and always got payed as soon as i had finished.....so i didnt see there being a problem:yikes:

I would try the other neighbour, the estate agents, his solicitor (you might be able to get this from the new owners), The new owners might have a forwarding address for his mail (or he might have done it via Royal Mail)

For 7.5k I would try whatever I could! Horrible business

For £7.5K I'd go to France and hunt the B'stard down :incazzato::incazzato:
