People that mess about with payments.

Only had one none payer, and I took her to court for a measly £300.

In the end, I was worse off… but not to the tune of 300….. She was a lot more worse off, and word soon got round.

I don’t think she ever got the job fully finished as nobody would deal with her.

A lot of companies are now taking large sums upfront before they even start any job as non payment is getting worse and worse

I like to think I can spot non-payers a mile off and stay well away nowadays, usually builder types who have the gift of the gab. This was more about people that do pay (eventually) but like to give you the runaround before they do. They all use the same excuses - not had the email - I cant log onto my banking - money sent but it will take two weeks - etc etc. Not sure whats in it for them because they just end up with a half done job and no-one will go back. I think its some kind of power trip for them, trying to prove they are superior to you in some way.
