Customers in arrears.

I’m owed £979 from customers in arrears.

How does that compare with what you are owed?
Do quantum mechanics fix old transits?

And let us not forget, voyeurism is an occupational hazard that we simply must endure.

Nearly £1,400 here but about half of that is not actually overdue as there are some commercial jobs where we agree a timescale that hasn't been exceeded yet.
Only a few of them seem to be taking the piddle.

That’s quite a variation.

I usually just leave a SAE and wait, but due to falling behind with my round I might go out a collect over the next week.

I have 2 rounds pay already by cheque by my older work is all still collecting bar a very small number who pay by bacs etc

I cant wait to give up collecting

I spent 3-4 hours the other night, had over 600 owing and got £50 in, its a soul destroying waste of time!

That was a one off but just reinforced how much of a bad idea it is, i always liked the idea of seeing the custy etc, and the personal touch but its just not worth it the cons out weight the pros!!

about £700 owed £300 is commercial, so £400 worth in domestic.

i had a £7.50 customer give me £7.50  for december and £100 cheaque for next years 12 cleans, change leaves a £10 tip.

pitty i didnt have a few more like that.

some customers pay quarterly in advance
some pay bimonthly in arrears

some have the money on the side table ready waiting even if you come collecting 3 weeks later

I am probably owed around about £100 at any given time. Apart from a couple of customers with which I have special arrangements if cheque is not recieved within a week or so they get a phone call.

I have had simaler late payment problems of late. AS from new years it will cost them and admin cost to pay later and it will cost even  more if its over a month.They all have the cash just sloppy. It costs me if I am late with my bill.I will be sending they a copy of my new terms of business.I will apply it very ridgedly.IF THEY DONT PAY i WILL GO SMALL CLAIMS AT THERE COST.
