any body want to see some pics? - monday, tuesday and tidy tomorrow

looks like they've worked out theres 6-8 tonnes of wood there

Priced it as £800 of firewood- can't see why they have to pay you on top of this

Muppetts mupitts muppitts- however....

I would price that job at £1200+VAT

[likeitorlumpit]

On reflection being over the garage/wall/house £1800+vat

GO and take goods to cover what you are owed. Or as others said tip chip at the end of drive after all its still theres if they have not paid up. People like this really get my back up.

This just my view but what could have caused part of your problem is the log adverts on your truck. This may have alerted them to the firewood having some value and ten minutes later on the internet and its all worth tens of thousands of pounds. I have wondered recently what would happen to the electronics in a D4 if it got a blast of 240vac across the battery.

LogBaron, Did you have a work order prepared and signed off by the client?., If you did don't waste any more additional emotional Capital with this person or her husban, excuses are like arse holes and it sounds like they have Two for each. The price is not up for discussion. You are Professional, don't let these types take advantage of you. Put them in their place, Pronto!. Otherwise SUE THEM and recover all of your cost and expenses.

Have a nice day!

Well There We Are Then.

 

I hate people like this, send them the invoice and if they don't pay take the tree and giveit themback... Grrr, forum rules prevent me from expressing my true feeling towards people like that!

No better than thieving scrotes!

Sorry to hear about your problem Joy. As others have said, when honest hard working people like everybody on here get messed about it's not nice and something that we should not have to deal with.

 

I think Gensetsteve has a valid point - if somebody turned up to do a tree job for me in a vehicle advertising logs I would be thinking thats my logs he's selling. Just a thought for future.

 

If they refuse to pay, go down the legal route straight away. Yes they have a £50k Discovery 4 but chances are its on finance and I would point out to them disadvantages of having a CCJ registered against them in the present economic climate, anybody with poor credit records will get nothing out of any high street bank these days. In my last months as a mortgage advisor for one, I had to refuse high net worth customers new mortgages as a credit search revealed a missed payment to a credit card, it wasnt even registered as a CCJ. So tell them if they want a Discovery 5 when they come out, they had better pay up.

 

Good luck and tell husband not to let it get to him too much.
