Depends how much the job was worth and you should have decided how much discount you gave not the customer,next we'll have customers determining our prices

I would think that if you did take this to court the magistrate would probably end up making a compromised figure but would not award you the court costs anyway so it would not be worth your while. Have you discussed the matter with the suppliers of the dye as it is really their mistake that has caused the bad feeling in the first place and would they be willing to meet you half way or discout of next order, have a chat to them.

Peter ... i've already sorted it with the supplier....who i must say have been very good....

Steve... i agree like i said i wouldve have discounted but not the 100 quid ... but she wasn't listening... ...so i guess she had set the price....

ok i guess i put it to bed and move on which is frustrating....... but not forget eh Billy!
 
Just a bit bitter that she has happy with the work.....yet says she will bad mouth me...

thanks folks

Revenage for weeks/months mate! 

[creighton foyle]

just remember body fluids/waste will lead back to you , now a stanley knife or paint stripper used on the car well? just remember what they are doing is stealing from you so whatever you decide to do is fair game.

[Mr Dvae]

just send a letter asking for payment in full within 7 days... then if no payment send another one stating if not paid immediately the case will be referred to a debt collection agency.. usually you never have to go any further than this.

ps it's your money, you've earnt it go get it paid. don't enter into conversation with her unless absolutely necessary. 

[Paul Redden Countryfresh]

Her 'discount' was the free carpet clean!  :

Bet she's the type who complains at restaurants and then never pays.

There's always the classic approx, ie You ba*t*rd on the front wall and a note through the door " I thought you loved me and now I find you're married" 

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

How long does it normally take you to earn £100?

How long have you spent agonising about this so far?

What sort of discount would you look for if a tradesman working for in your house made a cock-up on a) a £200 job and b) a £700?

How have you reacted when you've broken something, perhaps, and the client has gracefully told you it didn't matter and you needn't recompense them?

Yes , it's galling but we all suffer occasionally.

Put it down to experience.

I like what colin put

"I had something similar a while back and I WILL get my revenge..... I am a very patient bloke....  "

Ive  had revenge  before, and it a great feeling!

Once you have resolved this.. i suggest exposing this woman... just her name and area so none of  us get to deal with her!
More and more people are getting work done and then refusing to pay the amount agreed, they simply do not play by the rules because they have very little morals.

The trouble is she probably already has CCJ's against her name so another one wont bother her.
