Cleaning a gutter 2 weeks ago for a lady 2 sided terrace house and she's giving me the run about not paying.. firstly she started with I've got no money in the house so I didn't have a problem with that as she agreed to pay online but after 4 emails and going round twice she keeps saying I'll do it later blah blah blah but not paying it..
What honestly would you guys do please??

[Plankton]

Personally I don't take the rubbish away so I would be inclined to re-install it. I haven't done this to date with gutters but I would without a shadow of doubt.

[johnny bravo]

get a load of grass sods etc   and  fill her gutters back to overflowing, then forget about it.

[johnny bravo]

obviously when shes out the house,  just pretend you are double checking it for her again.       she must have had no intention of paying you,      i always insist of getting money up front,    unless i know they are cosha

[Avo]

Had a few on the windows never on gutters...
Tennis  balls in the down pipe front n rear coming soon then 

She knew what she was doing the sly git

[Shane sharples]

Hate people that treat us like we are worth nothing , whether it's gutters or windows, people who ring to get a job done, watch you do it then say oh Iv not been to the bank and then have no intention of paying  really gets my back up 😡

[samson]

I just walk away and keep my own peace.   Had only a few over the years, but most people are decent so don't waste your time chasing it

Thats ok, knock again..........she'll give you an excuse. Just say....listen this is getting embarrasing for me now, get the money out and i'll be round tomorrow................and call the next day.

Seem rather odd to me that you did not get paid on completion of that job if the works were  booked in advance and she knew how you wanted to get paid I take it by cash.

Now I'm intreged to find out if the lady knew you were coming to do the gutters or not and also did she not know how you wanted to get paid so she could have had the cash for you?

I'd follow it through for the 400, but it's not likely to come that if you tell her that's what you're going to do.

Legally, you may struggle.  Quotations over £35 are supposed to have paperwork accompanying them giving the option of 14 days to cancel.
Any new work I take on for over £35, I do it this way.  You can actually be investigated for this by some government busybody organisation if you don't comply.
This rule came in several years ago to stop rogue traders ripping people off.

I,ve done exactly that twice, for less money and both times been paid within 48 hours.

[koopmaster]

I just say -  I have been round twice and its costing me money and time.  so from now on every time I have to come over for collections I will need to charge a collection fee to cover my costs of £5 per a visit (it needs to be highish amount)

1 visit should be enought to make them pay.

[jwplasterers]

I have the best answer to this as I have come across this, when they tap there pockets and say they need to go to the bank I  say no need to go to the bank now as  I have a pay pal card reader you want to see there face.

This wins every time hope this helps best thing I ever bought for these situations.
