getting paid (domestic work)

[Just Rizzle]

I find its the big posh houses with there garage full of expensive cars that are the worst kind of people to get paid from....im sure they look at us like scum... that we should be grateful for the work.
Honest hard working folk that have saved for years to have work done are trying to pay before you finish. ....which makes it even worse when they get screwed by the cowboys out there

im on a job at the moment probably one of the richest people ive worked for she askes for my invoice on Friday mornings befor she takes the kids to school and goes to her shop and office when I get home she texts me to say my monies in the bank were doing 6 bathrooms for her and 200mtrs of stone flooring in the new extention and old hall entrance were half way through the project

the only people Ive had trouble with getting money off is other Tilers Ive worked for.

Same here. I did some work for Diamond Tiling from Crewe, even got the work from an advert he put up on here. I get him out of the ***** on the job, work weekends when my granddaughter was fighting for her newborn life, and he stiffs me for 2 days daywork I did at the end.
Now found a new way of dealing with this though. Instead of issuing a MCOL go with a
Statutory Demand under section 268(1)(a) of the Insolvency Act 1986. Debt for Liquidated
Sum Payable Immediately
Gives them 14 days to pay up or you apply to make them bankrupt.
He'll be getting one of these very shortly.

Ive tried MCOL and hit a brick wall, so annoying. I hope you have better luck than did.
He was an arrogant w****r, and i got him out of the rubbish, it wasnt for a massive amount I just wanted what was owed to me, nothing less, nothing more. But I did gain a new contact, but thats not the point. The first ever tiling job I did I helped out another tiler and never got paid for a weeks work. Another time I worked with a tiler, he screwed up and didnt get all that was owed and expected me to take the hit as well.
Needless to say Im not very trusting.

i did a job for a guy who had or still has an indian restaurant who wouldn't pay, he vanished at the end of the job and his wife turned up and point blank refused to pay, when i asked why she said i don't have to explain myself to you just leave or il call the police, this went on for a while until i realised i was never getting the money, so the following weekend a big groupe of my friends and my brother ate at there restaurant running up the biggest bill they could and got up and left, when the guy chased after them for payment my brother refused to pay then explained who he was, the guy was so pissed off

You need to have more than one person filing that. I think it's two or more companies who are owed money start the proceedings.

Doesn't get you paid all the time though!

And it can cost you to do it.

never really had a problem getting paid on time through domestics,,subbying can sometimes be a bind to get paid within a reasonable time.I find it ironic that customers are always on the phone to you prior to starting a job and during it, but when they need a prompt about payment their phone never seems to be on their person..

I have just received my PayPal card reader so I can now take card payments at the end, it costs a tiny amount but gets me paid! My quotes state payment upon time of completion so no excuses at all now!

It's the future. I always pay on card if the option is there for the added protection.
