If he rings for a price in the future price it then add on what you should of got for tomorrow and say you want payment before 6pm the day before 👍

Good plan, once bitten twice shy and all that!!!

[Acg128]

Geezers clearly a messer so I'd deal with him no other way.. All the best bud.

Get your money and then when he rings in the future, don't answer it.

Had a couple on here do the same!

...... If you see fit to warn off or book someone for work, then have the common decency to keep them informed of an ongoing situation. We all understand jobs that work gets cancelled, but the avoidance of answering calls makes it look a lot like were in a last minute price auction.....

Nothing worse than hanging about waiting to hear what's happening , plus not answering the phone , bad news !

You'll know to steer clear in the future .

I know you wont want to hear this, but perhaps you also need to brush up on your business approach.

 

The guy has obviously dropped you in it, but experience will teach you not to get into this situation. Hard to hear I dare say, and we've all been there, but working with other set-ups is riddled with trouble.

 

Feel for you, its sure hassle you can do without especially after you feel you were trying to help someone out.

Maybe he is setting up his own business and wanted to know how to charge. Now he knows.

Maybe some emergency has cropped up and he hasn't been able to call? Everyone is quick to castigate the guy without knowing if there is a real reason for the no call.

update on whats happened guy did'nt show up at the customers house either!! got a call at 10.30ish today from a lady looking for a tree surgeon to do exactly the same job as this guy described, popped down this evening.... she said "had a guy organised to do this job but let me down at last moment was I interested". apparently I have come recommended from her friend. Have tried ringing the guy who was supposed to be doing it originally today both numbers to see what the score is just get answerphones. What would you guys do????
