This has probably been mentioned quite a few times on here but can't find it in the search section.
What do you guys do with non payers? I only allow three cleans until I stop with the cleaning altogether until payment has been made. I have two customers at the moment funnily enough they are both for £5 cleans every four weeks. Almost not worth taking the equipment out of the van to do them.
I have placed notes through the customers doors saying cleaning will not continue until payment has been made but still not getting paid for them. I don't call and ask for the money there and then as my other customers are great at paying with cheque or bank transfer.
It is tempting to go back and put a wee bit of mud from their garden on the end of the brush so they pay up and get me to clean them.
I heard one window cleaner a few years back asked for the money for a few cleans and the chap said he was not going to pay him so the window cleaner put the lawnmower into his van and locked the van. The customer asked him what he was doing and he said that you can have it back when I get paid. The customer promptly paid.
Anyone got any funny stories for getting the money off the customers?
