i don't usually have too many problems collecting what is owed to me, i usually just write further action will be taken, i have been known to knock at 6am for my money.

my biggest problem is women, i have been done 3 times over the years, a few others have tried it, 1 bloke who had camera's alround his house and 1 company did me for nearly £700 when they went bust.

i take it very personally when people try not to pay me.

Great idea! I had this idea a few months ago. I also posted the idea on this forum but in the carpet cleaning section. Wasn't just for bad payers, it was also for annoying customers in every which way. Almost like a "customer review" website for tradesmen.

I could actually create a site like this.

Would anyone be up for sharing thier bad customers? When I asked on the carpet cleaning section they weren'ttoo keen...

Cant remember the site but at Jackson's Building Centre in Grantham there is a flyer for bad payers.
Always go on your gut.
And say you need paying before clean proceeds.
You don't actually need to take the payment-their reaction will be enough for you to guage if they're out to screw you.
I've had 5 in 9 years-funnily enough I had a bad feeling with each one but chose to ignore it!

thats her bobby short blonde hair, drives an AUDI last time i noticed. you forgot to mention not tripping over the kids bikes as you go through her side gate/lean-to/shed affair. I was way underpriced on that work, but wasnt so bad wfp. I only do about 6 houses there.

"YEH right" - as i hurried away to my van shes behind me,tapping on the van window, cmon you can do the house only,i will let you inside the conny,1 off for now.  "Yeh right ,,,,,laterrrrr  "

Heres one to avoid Bobby as you might get collared as its round the corner from Gainsborough rd......14 North close   she agreed to 8 wkly clean I didnt load the price on 1st clean so was there just over an hour for £20 not great as flat out with wfp but took the bullet.

Any how 2nd clean...."oh they dont need doing yet" i said 8 wkly is the min frequency she starts waffling, I instantly realised she was a messer so I hung up on her....that felt good.

good on you Dan,she sounds like an old pro . pity you didnt get in with an uggerly comment before hanging up to bruise her ego for ages after .must remember if she rings me,to say,is that number14?the uggerly buggar !no way laydee 
That part of town is all big houses and hard work isnt it. i might pull the plug on working in that area in 2013 as i foresee grief  there in my crystal ball . Who is doing the bulk of the houses up that way? i saw hi-top and that lad in the black mondeo  couple o times  just wondering
