A phone call is usually enough. Small claims court doesn't work anyway. You can get a judgement although its rarely worth the time and effort. Even so there is no mechanism for making them pay up.

Anyway, they only have to say they were in all that day and the windows were never cleaned and the case will be thrown out almost certainly

I have had a few I call and they apologise for not paying and then just forget payment again.In the case of small claims court is it not the defendents duty to prove I did not clean.as I do drop invoice them on the day.

I’m owed £979 from customers in arrears.

How does that compare with what you are owed?

Sounds reasonable but i wouldnt look at the figure to much its more what % of your round worth is still owed to you, personally if its higher then maybe 20 or 30% then see whats going on.

thats how i do it anyway.

I told everyone about 3 months ago that I was no longer going to collect,
This has resulted in quite a lot being in arrears.
I made a big mistake by never taking customers phone numbers, I wish I had now, it's so much easier if you can call and ask them to pay. I have an increasing amount paid on line, and I have been really pushing this method of payment.

About 500 quid. That's pretty normal for me.

1207.50

And that's not counting debts I have written off. Although its been months and years I still remember who they are and how much they owe, and one day I will find them at home, and they will pay!
