If you give a large company 30 days credit these days they see it as a green light to drag it out to 90 days. If you have plenty of work on ask for payment by return or proforma deposit say £500 on a final bill of £800. Supermarkets dont offer free credit but they take forever to pay their suppliers.

I've got a 90 day payment time with my one & only commercial customer, & they are a month over due now, but just got back from the bank & its now in the pending(was'nt there yesterday afternoon)column so they've finaly got their finger out.

How do you go about collecting money from bad paying customers? im about to go the route of small claims court but unsure what it entails and if it costs me money?

 

Hi Steve, as I'm sure others have already said ("smell the coffee Paul!") FSB annual membership costs about £250 per year and they will help with recovering small value debts. Several ArbACs are members and talk very highly of it.

 

Good luck n £200 is a lot of money AND it's the principle behind it

 

Cheers..

Not when you get done for fly-tipping, it won't.

Tip a load of chip on there drive, say they called you and asked for it, it's your word against there's same as them saying they don't ow you money,

 

It winds me up people thinking you will work for free!!

Slightly different from 'tipping your crap on their drive' then. I have a friend who had some success with a nice load of manure tipped on a late payer's driveway. They paid up before the second load that they 'had ordered' was delivered to their business address.
