We did a render on a domestic job last year quite a big house fair bit on it, plus I included scaffold etc.
The couple were in there late 60s, we agreed price of £9,200 plus vat to be paid on completion.
Anyhow last day comes up we've finished etc ive seen her potering about through the day, end of the day I hand an invoice over to her, she says I've already paid this, bemused I sort of said what you on about, oh I forgot to tell you I've left the cash in the front of your van at lunch time ....so it had been on my seat all afternoon by the side of the road in clear view in a carrier bag, I said I don't want cash it's no good to me, we agreed on a cheque, so a lot of pissing about later she gives me a cheque, I pay it in, it gets returned, the mad dear had post dated it for some reason for 2 weeks until she came back off holiday, then a week to clear after it was finally paid on...the general public :rolleyes:

can lurpack borrow £500 and ermm .......can i borrow a grand and il pay it back at the end of the season when united win the league ;);)
 
I told my chippy who was helping when we did our place that we ran out of money and that next week was his last. He told me that stopping him coming was not going to get the job finished and that he was more than happy to keep going till the end and he will invoice us when we were back on our feet :D

Well handy that was :D

I was honest and he appreciated it :D
 
Can't imagine the stress of being owed like 10k.. 500 is enough to bug me. It's the headache and grottyness of having to ask for your money and check etc. Just a yucky situation.

I can't even imagine not paying someone, or witholding payment. Anytime I have work done the money is there waiting
 
Why do people still pay by check . Pains me with internet these day. Can take another two weeks to get your money by time you get to bank and it clears. And what if yours banks not local.
 
Nah I know lol. Find it funny when your doing the work the customers fine but when you finish they take ages to pay! Find it so rude. The jobs done motherfuxker. Get your Mulas oot ha!

Nah I fancy City to win it again, although rarely does a team defend a league but I still think Man City are miles ahead.

I think it's a generation thing anyone over 60 doesn't trust internet banking on the whole.

Did a job recently, couple of rooms skimmed. Customer very happy paid, even sent text saying thanks looks great blahblah.

Then asked me to do some more work, but needed it doing within 2 weeks, I moved a job to fit it in for them. Did the work very happy again but said no cash on them so asked for my bank details, I said I will text them over later.

Sent the details over and she replied thanks will make payment this week.

1 week later no payment so i sent a text asking if it had been sent as not received it, no reply.

Not even sure what to do now, f**k**g annoying as f**k. Only £500 but bugging me

It's an economy of scale thing,most of our projects are the 10 grand mark at least, it's not hard to get there when your supplying scaffold, materials Labour, vat etc, so I need a good cash float.most developers clear there invoice at months end, although I've a contract with a housing association and there on 40 days but it's profitable work, so i tolerate it.it's just the odd domestic we do, and most are good payers.
 
It's strange enit how customers destroy it at the end, you can hear their last bit of dignity flying off into the air like a deflating baloon.

Its like a week long job day one custmer looking like david hasslehoff tea n biccys on tap buzzing off your work

By day 3 you notice summat up with his hair

Day 4 you realise its horns starting to grow

End of job he walks in like michael jackson in thriller with a cup of coal and empty biscuit tin

It's at that point you know your f**k**g money aint ready

c**ts

Then you get customer like today nicest in world pay on time or even before I'm finished but does his boarding blind folded.

So morlal of the story if you're a good payer the trade will look after you. I've sorted this monstrosity out without even mentioning anything.

Whereas if customer was a c**t id of walked away

I not really had bad payers. Twice lost bout 300 when firms did the bankruptcy trick. Though some of lads were 3 4 grand out of pocket so counted me lucky stars.One thing that gets on my tits are joeys moaning bout money . Even told builder whos sound for cassh normally but waiting on some cash to clear to pay lads n sort mine for end of month just to stop em moaning. And when you run a bit over they start moaning bout over time but say f**k all when you have a flyer

Yeah but they have 0 input in the job or overheads so can't expect to be happy about waiting tbf
 
Self employment is not for all, either set out payment terms from the off very clearly or go on the books for a firm.

That work around the switch is brilliant! It’s a insult to plaster that! I’d frame that s**t to show the quality of workmanship that was undertaken to the highest order that was done around this switch.

I really don’t think salah will have the same impact this season, however I don’t see city having the same impact either, Liverpool showed the blueprint on how to beat them
