Think i have seen it all now !

Local self proclaimed " Tree Surgeon " quotes for tree removal and as per never turns up to do the job , Land owner gets a new quote from 2nd contractor and job is to be done this week coming , the first contractor is told his services are not required .

First contractor hires in a third contractor to remove the trees without consent , Land owner comes home and trees are gone .

First contractor contacts Land owner " i have done the job for free " .

So as it stands now the first contractor is refusing to pay the third contractor as he claims not to have been paid for the work by the Land owner .

Beyond me ?

That's a truly bizarre and convoluted set up. I like to keep things simple myself :D

Why would the first contractor pay the third? Or did you mean the second one is refusing to pay the third?

 

First contractor got contractor 3 do do the job so contractor 2 did not get the work , as the Client had informed contractor 1 he was not required he would not be able to charge for the work , Contractor 1 then subs the job to contractor 3 stating he is a bit busy to manage the job , contractor 3 is now stuffed as he had no contract with the land owner and contractor 1 was going to pay cash so no paper trail , Contractor 1 is now happy as none of his competitors have been paid for the job ... Contractor 3 is new to the game and has learned a hard lesson ..

Strange, why on earth is C1 entering a paid agreement with C3 knowingly without getting pay from the landowner? Seems the only looser will be C1!

 

C1 is refusing to pay C3 , C1 offered Cash to C3 when he was paid for the job , C3 had no idea C1 was never getting paid for the job .
