a quick poll

[Dansouthcoast84]

you were asked by a company to do a supply fit job.

you send in the invoice.

hear nothing.

you contact.

nothing.

6 weeks later you tell them legal procedure will now start.

they answer. saying work was rubbish. the company they worked for got someone to finish off and they hadnt been payed so no chance of me getting paid.

would you expect.
1 to be contacted and rectify anything yourself.
or 2 fair enough dont pay us.

Your 1st point Dan. You should have been contacted to at least have everything explained and shown what he was unhappy with and given you the chance to correct it. Sounds like he's a shyster to me.

why not go and visit the place where this work was carried out, you can then see if the plastering was as you left it or what has been carried out.

ask the firm if they have paid your client from yorkshire and tell them of the problems that you have had to collect your payment and if you are not paid you will be taking out a charge on their property.

run a credit check on you client from yorkshire make sure that he has some assets before you chase good money after bad.

my son goes on a web site that can show you the financial position of any ltd company in uk. i do tell my pals who have local plastering cos. that i can look at their accounts all day long if i want to!

 

[Wezly]

That's not good mate, as above they must give you the chance to rectify if there's a problem.

I would expect to be contacted and rectify anything if needs be.
If you need a good companies solicitor let me know, I got a golden one

If your claim is valid, he'll do it free as they will bang a massive invoice on the company who owes you the money.
He's a customer of mine, he's done it for me last December, in less than 12 hours money was on my account, but that was domestic not sure how quick things if it's corporate. I'll pm his contact

Contractually he's has to notify you he's not happy in reasonable time to rectify any potential issues before getting someone else to sort any potential bad work out, he should have also give you a withholding notice seven days before payment was due stating the reason you were not going to be paid and if it's only a proportion of the work he's not happy with and not all of it he should have paid you for the rest of the amount and only withheld the amount he's not happy with until it's rectified, did you keep resending your invoice over to him on a weekly basis?

Hopefully you had a contract in place I hate people owing me a tenner feel for you it's not on this and hardly anyone we can turn to its a major problem in this game

 

[vfr12]

Complete boloks Dan! More or less every one has been there done that. That's not the procedure in cases like this. Takes lots of emails, site visits,office meetings and agreements before you can say the job is not right and have to be rectified . For refusing payments , now that's deep waters and your customer has lost the case already. Do you have signed contract with them, or the whole agreement was mouth to mouth?

If it was me, I will have my money n a week max. Have paid hefty price and know how all this s**t works. Long story short, he has no right to cut off payments without your knowledge and agreement. If is written is valid, doesn't matter if sms, linked, face or on a napkin. In my contract I have a clause for late payments- 20% per week. After I give them the solicitor speech , there s no resistance tbh

 

[Olican]

Shocking, hope you get it sorted Dan

i wanna get a generic contract for jobs now. who has one and who made them up?

I have terms and conditions which I send out to customers with my costings that way it's up to them to disagree with the terms if there's no disagreement they don't even have to be signed I think a solicitor I was dealing with called it something like general acceptance, I only do domestic work now Ewi and renders with the occasional plastering job but they all get em with their quotes I email the quote and deliver a hard copy so if I don't get paid and it needs to go any further they can't blag anyone saying they never got em, unfortunately I've had to deal with a couple of scumbags as you can probably tell

If you google it you'll get a foot print with basic terms and you can adjust/add as you want.
I got mine from FMB site and just tweaked to how I want.
