We took a company to the small claims court for none payment for a pallet of briquettes. I didn't really want to give him 30 days credit but agreed to with an extra £50 charge. 2 weeks after delivery they asked for another pallet. I asked for payment for the first and then I would have delivered the second one. They didn't like that and said that was an odd way to run a company! 3 months later they still hadn't paid so started with the small claims court. They left everything right up until the last minute for contacting and agreeing to use the court mediator - this saves you going to court but has to be at least 7 days before the court hearing. We ended up with an extra £160 with costs and expenses. Unbelievably they still didn't pay after agreeing to with the court mediator so I went to court, they didn't turn up so were issued with a CCJ. They called me that afternoon complaining about the CCJ, they sent a cheque that week.

It was a long drawn out process but it worked in the end.

If they don't keep in touch with you regarding payment, or offer to pay each month I wouldn't hesitate to use this method.

I've never had a problem with payments ever. Just got a problem finding work 6days a week and no estate is cutting with it being bird season :( Just lucky I'll do almost anything to make my cash, and just lucky the dodgy fekkers I sometimes deal with always pay up at the end of the job :)
