I was called by the police this morning.

I was told to stop cleaning the windows of someone as they hadn't agreed to it.

Funny how they had signed up for an 8 weekly service!

Can't believe they didn't have the bottle to call me and cancel themselves.

£45 lost as I cleaned it yesterday.

Why are the police getting involved in a civil matter? I hope you told them to **** off!

[MrChurchMouse]

Yeah that's really annoying especially taking into account it doesn't sound like a quick and cheap job.  Like you say it's very strange that they didn't just tell you themselves that they didn't want it done anymore.  Presumably they were just using you for a one off clean but didn't want to say so initially.  The least they could have done is let you know not to come again by text though which would have been less awkward for them than actually talking to you over the phone.

Is this a wind up jay?

If not, then my word is that pathetic of the customer!

Not a wind up mate. Irritated me all day.

I called the customer after but the phone line had been disconnected.

Are you sure this is genuine the police don’t deal with civil matters , I think it’s a hoax the only time they get involved is when someone is being ripped off by some cowboy firms charging exorbitant prices for sub standard work usually roofing .

Couple of months ago I got a phone call from our local PCSO asking if I would mind going to an address and climb through the upstairs window of a lady who had locked herself out of her house 😂

Cheeky fecker tutted and sighed when I told him I’ve got better things to be doing and suggested he do the same.

Sounded pretty genuine.

Maybe you come across as intimidating and/or aggresive and you do not realise it ? It is very odd for someone to call the Police over this but i also find it odd that you think they need "bottle" to call and cancel you.

I've only met them once!

If they don't need bottle maybe they need common courtesy.

I think you've been had - ring back the local nick and ask to speak to that officer - insist on an incident number

Why would anyone do that as a joke?

Unless it's someone wanting to steal the job?

It's not a joke, they don't want to pay you. The only way I can see police being involved is if they say you are harassing them or they are accusing you of trespass.

[Smudger]

Because the police wouldn't JUST ring up - did you get the offers name and number ?

when I started out I had a spat of 2 or 3 prank calls - a made up address, a non existent quote at a house and a "police call - regarding me canvassing" - when I asked for their ID the phone went dead...

There are just some nasty people out there..   ( or kids thinking they are clever )

Didn't really think about the legitimacy of it at the time as it caught me off guard.

Sounded very real.

Also they had the customers address and I had cleaned it yesterday.

I may just go knock the customers door to find out whether it was real.

[G Griffin]

It wasn't the police.

[dazmond]

Itll be interesting to find out what really happened.....I dont think the police would phone you up like that mate...I'd defo go round and knock on their door....

Unless their total c*u*n*t*s and phoned the police to say you ve been harassing  them just so they can  get a free one off clean?

Nowt as queer as folk.....you never know!some people need shooting(or kneecapping!).......

[Spruce]

Where did the police get your number from to ring you Jay?
Usually if there is an incident they turn up at your house 'to have a word.'

[G Griffin]

Even if Jay had been harassing them, the police wouldn't ring him up.

[jk999]

Total bull it will have been another window cleaner trying to steal your work ,police wouldn't ring you they would tell the customer to sort it them self's, go knock on door and see what they have to say if they don't want them cleaned tell them you want paying
