I put up some details about a job on here a while ago asking if anyone had any experience with this facility management company. John the owner of Approved contacted the facility magaement company and tried to get the work.

I couldn't believe it, I tried contacting him through Gav cam but John never got back to me.

I will. I'll invoice the clients, they'll decline me. Then i'll bug them about their corporate responability so much  that i'll be a royal pain in the arse and Approved WindowCleaning will be right on their radar. You could of course just pay me John, you'll have read this by now................

Mike the reason you didn't get paid is you can't get the sheets over on time why couldn't you scan the sheets back ??? If you need this clarifying feel free to give me a call .
The majority of john's clients have a 3 month cut off that means any invoice over 3 months old automatically gets put in the bin and results in him having to give the client a credit of the cost of the job
So not only have you cost your self money , you'll also cost Approved money but hey what you care with the attitude of il send my sheets over when I'm ready then moan when you haven't received any money !!

As you have decided to respond in public would you please explain this bit in red for the benefit of the forum? It doesn't make sense to me. When I was in charge of the finances of a company (both bought and sales ledgers) I had never heard of such a procedure.

It's a game of three halves!

I would go further and question the legality of this procedure. If you've raised a VAT invoice I'm not sure you can just scrap it, surely this is now on debtors (or creditors, I always mix those up) list and therefore form part of your balance sheet.

I think you can still invoice up to 6 years after the event

Have you spoken to John  in person about this?

I have to say I'm surprised - I've done 5 or 6 websites for John over the years & never had any issues getting paid... he was always a real gent...

Ah !!! Please accept my apologies. I didn't realise it was my fault because i was late sending stuff over. I feel silly now costing myself and others money  with my slap dash attitude.





I also feel really daft now trying to give other people a heads up on what they are like to deal with, when the reality is thats its me all along. I take it all back, there's nothing wrong with Approved Window Cleaning. Its me.

My mistake. Did you talk to John on the phone? Phone usually gets much faster results than e-mail,....

Nat, i emailed every satisfaction sheet over bang on time. I've done everything i was asked to do. I ain't wasting my breath speaking to him. To say what ? ....Pay me please?  Like he doesn't know ?

I'm just giving a heads up on what they're like to deal with.
