None payer sorted.

[Eddie dragon]

Would like to thank green pro and others who have posted on this topic before, as I used a variation of letter you have put on the site.

Customer owed for two cleans. Repeated emails asking for payment were ignored.

At 7pm tonight I sent an email.

Hi Mrs ## after several attempts to collect the outstanding balance of £24 for window cleaning and receiveing no reply at all. We are now adding a £40 administration charge to the account. This will then be sent to small claims court witch could incur more fees.

Just got email back. No apology just check bank account money sent.

It is literally ten minutes before email.

Thanks again to those whos advice I used.

First time I have had to do this an it worked brilliantly.

great result

i do find BACS can be great, but there is still folk who wont press the button

boils me

 

[Chris33]

Yeah,its almost like some think its a great excuse to delay payment (using bacs)

 

[adamangler]

I usually remind half a dozen times before dumping and sending out the letter.

Sent about 10 letters uo to now and got paid from about 7 after the letter. Others I just let it go too much hassle

My favorite excuse from non payers when I end up on their door step is 'we just had a baby'

I always reply 'well it's not mine!' Gets them every time.

My other is when I send a text reminder and they reply 'we are currently on holiday and I will sort this when I get back.'

It would take them less time to log on to bank or paypal and just pay instead of replying to text. /emoticons/smile.png)

If they've paid you before by bacs, it takes less than a minute to send money over. Does my head in.

 

[Chris33]

Or the PayPal ones that forget your PayPal after already sending it for the last few months..yeah right, check your sent money bit, all info is obviously there.

Did they pay the £40 admin charge as well?

 

[Eddie dragon]

No didn't pay the administration charge. Just happy I got paid for work done.

 

[Markyboy 50]

I'd rather they didn't pay. Greatly satisfying creating round there in the dark and put dog poo on their house and door handles. Underneath of course so they don't see it!!

Yeah thought so, but still a good result.
