Keep calm mate and go through the correct legal channels. The bloke has not got a leg to stand on, "a painter and decorator told me it was too expensive", you have done great so far mate keeping your temper in check, think i would have put a sledge hammer through his bath by now.

If the lawyer's letter don't work,then i'm afraid it's the baseball bat mate lol....seriously when it comes to money being owed-don't take any ****-i don't,i offer a quality product at a fair price,anyone who comes the c**t will hear me-get a hold of this t**t decorator and 'gently' persuade him to change the punter's mind

Hey Hey, money came in today. Ass that he is. Did take me to go down and talk to the decorator. I felt a bit sorry for him actualy, I think he thought I was gunna hit him the way I jumped out the van and approached him, lol, poor sod. Turns out he had been pretty much used to allow the client to convince himself he didnt need to pay me as much. All he'd said was, he wasnt a tiler so wouldnt have charged as much (300) as he couldnt have done as good job.
I was fuming with the client for twisting words, that could have caused serious problems between us.
Happy days

[quote=scrubmuncher;20545]Had a bit of a problem last week. Client refusing to pay full whack for the job agreed. Apparently a decorator went into the job afer me, the client somehow got to talking with him about the job I'd done obviously got an opinion of how much he thought the job was should be. After agreeing with me and being overjoyed at the finished job claims now he wants to only pay me £300 for a job I quoted £478 for. I've just been on the phone to them and they are not budging. In return I've said legally the adheasive under the tiles is mine and if I dont have my money within the month I'll be around to rip the tiles up and reclaim my property (adhesive, I wouldn't but hey). Whether this is a correct way to handle it I dunno but I've a bit of a temper for idoits like this and couldnt help myself.
Anyone come across this much?
How did you intimidate (being the only way to get them to pay up I feel) them into paying up? Obviously not gunna work being nice to them.[/quote]Provided the job had a written quotation small claims court is best option.No estimate,no claim your word versus his and a waste of time and effort recovering..........REMEMBER A VERBAL CONTRACT IS NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT ISN'T WRITTEN ON
