Non payment

[jackg 7]

Mice in a house three miles away, did it previously a year or so ago, paid then no problem.

They missed three of my appointments and they have traps  in the house still, did not want me to use poison this time or previously.

Nothing in writing, phone calls only.

Emailed the invoice before Christmas and a  reminder five days ago, still nothing.

Advice please.

Card payment machine and payment up front.I love the Paypal now machine. It comes in handy for the greasy customers.

Maybe on holiday over xmas , ? got to go knock on the door and meet face to face , as the mice have returned maybe they blame you no doing a proper job first time who knows until you talk to them and maybe advise them why they are returning

As said knock and talk... don’t get upset if they won’t pay, pick up your traps and leave em 1/2 pint of maggots as a thank you .

Hi JackG 

We use a debt collection agency who for £30 will write to them and demand payment. They charge you the £30 but this is added to the customers bill. If nothing is received they then step it up to the small claims court carrying out all of the paperwork and correspondence for you. The bill costs the customer and not you. If all else fails a CCJ is taken and and high court bailiffs end up at their door.

I have never had one go past the initial £30 letter as its from a solicitor and it normally makes people think twice about paying. If you need the companies name just PM me.

It the principal dont let people get away with owing you money once the service has been carried out.

just let them know that it is as easy for them to get pests as it is to remove them.

Go to council offices grab some small claims court forms, fill one out stick through door or post.

Always works costs nothing

More effective than threatening to drill holes in there kneecaps

Good luck

Now that all depends whether the person believes you will drill the holes or not.

I've been known to sit waiting in the truck at a discreet  distance and wait for them to come home.  ever wondered why the bailiff comes at dawn?  get your money and gear walk away and never go back .

why are some of you getting paid after the work has been done??

walk in....do a survey ...explain what steps need undertaking for this problem...then the cost....then ask are they paying by cash or card.....
