been doing work for them also....!! currently chasing £800

They finally paid, but I have been pestering them constantly for months, then emailed them with details of all of my conversations with them with a foot note saying that I would have to start small claims proceedings if I didn't get a response.
My suggestion is to pester and keep everything in writing.

Good Luck !
 
just sent solicitors letters to them today!

unfortunately the way i see it is that they have the money coming in but must have a cash flow shortage! as they seem to have a few decent contracts with some big players!
 
I think they also play on the fact that most of us are too busy to keep on chasing them so a week can go by before they get chased again.
 
Normally what happens when you get heavy they then decide to say they are not satisfied with the job, despite they've had 90 days to complain.
Were currently looking to take a petting zoo to court for non payment.
We changed a fan and heater like for like, got the owner to sign it off. We even went back a swapped the 1st supplied heater when that didn't work and didn't charge.

They didn't pay or make any complaint despite various letters... Then they decide they're not happy 3months after we did they job, and after getting a letter from our debt collection firm.
