Truss and France Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 TB There must be more to it, have they told you why they are not going to pay you? Are you on a price that you quoted them. Do you have an official purchase orders from these companies , if you do then at least you have something in writing and providing you have carried out the works as per the purchase order then theres no reason for them not to pay you. As for a solicitor, by the time they have written a few letters and made a few phone calls then there costs will be up to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 As RJB has mentioned, larger companies will actually not pay on purpose to see how you handle things, small claims may sound extreme to you but I bet they are used to it and it almost becomes part of the process. https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp Try that link, make sure you have the invoices and all correspondence the cost will be about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallbloke Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks for your interest. I wasn't going to go into detail due to the complexity but I could cut and paste a copy of a letter to a solicitor - after I've made sure I don't name companies or indivuduals. It may answer old hand's question and perhaps help someone from coming unstuck the same way. Regards TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 personally, i issue high interest charges on a seperate invoice an then fax it over, why? because then the staff see it and ask questions, they will not call you for advice as they know their company owes you money. that undrmines confidence in them for their company and is very very effective especially with american costomers who hatye interest charges with a vengence. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
