when i was trad yrs ago in the 80s, i once returned all the dirt on the windows of a custy who would not pay up. I dipped me mop in his garden soil, then went over every window  

LoL , did they ever call you or ask you about it!?

I have had a few, and gone and confronted them face to face, and told them its better they pay?

It took me near on 8 months to find one guy, I had a friend that worked in the sorting office that help me. Got me £100 and £5 for me trouble.

But never took anything or damaged property.

i have had a letting agent try not to pay so i sent a letter requesting it, he phoned up and my better half answered he was very rude to her, a week later i bumped in to him in the local offy i accidently nocked him in to a stack off beer and warned him to pay and not be rude again the next day his manager called and sent me a cheque i still do work for them now but the guy was sacked a couple off days later

  I had one refuse to pay me £20, took me 3 years of waiting until I was asked to price the house who's garden backs onto theirs.

  I quoted low to get the job, and when I was sure no-one was around at either house I snook through the hedge and did a number 2 in the offenders swimming pool, and put the cover back over it!

  Another 1 has owed me £33 for ages, she refuses to answer the door, and even turned ands walked out of the local shop leaving her basket of shoppin gon the floor when she saw me.

  I do all the houses on the estate where she lives (about 30 houses), and alweays par over her drive for a few hours while I do 10 around hers.

  Anyway, a couple of months ago she came out and wanted to pay me so that I would move my van. I refused payment and asked;

  "have the debt collectors who bought the debt from me not collected it yet? I bet the costs are racking up on that!"

  She must be dreading every knock on the door now, even though I have just written the debt off. she will forever be wondering.

As funny as some of these comments are,.. in this day and age would you still carry on like that?

Confucius say:
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves".

And that don`t mean do the customer`s spouse in either.

[gordonswindows]

Never helped myself but accepted a wooden coatrack from customer instead of cash lol

Once painted over all front windows on upstair flat, bright red GLOSS paint, it was all I had in the shed, due to the person failing to pay three times as they "were never in" well I heard that they hid while I was cleaning windows and laughed about getting free window cleaning.

God it made me feel better for all of three hours as that was when I was detained by the local plod
 
Made to clean all paint off of windows frames and ledges and nearly ended up in the cells, it took me hours and hours to clean that red off and all the while him inside smirking away

The morale of this story ? Don't leave red gloss paint on your ladder your roof rack and yourself lol. Wuld I do it again?

Hmmmm ?

i threatened court action for £185 worth of window cleaning for a letting agent, but he said "how can you prove you cleaned them" so i let it drop, still want to chin him though!!

Your answer should have been " you prove I didn't, see you in court!"
Bad press for a letting agent would be so much worse for them than us

[Carey Ward]

Had a customer agree to monthly clean - she paid the first time and then was never in so debt built up - however was certain that she was in most times so stopped cleaning after she owed four times but always knocked when passing - even saw someone rush from landing to a bedroom but still no answer. 

Passed one day and there was a couple of guys delivering something so I asked them if the lady was in as she owed me some money - oh yes they said we will go get her - never seen anyone so embarrassed - paid by cheque and said oh can you take me off your list - I said yes - but was thinking you already been off it for two months

The next stop was the bank
