unpaid EICR, well over 6 months ago.

[scootknew]

hello, going round in circles with this.

long story short carried out and issued EICR(over 6months ago) on a 2 bed flat less than 10 years old.

landlord who i knew for a while has turned sour and isnt paying me( kept saying will speak with accountant bla bla bla.)

anyways ive tried phoning glasgow city council etc to try to void the cert as i dont want to be held reasonable/liable incase of fire or somthings melts whatever. ive also contacted direct line pl insurance but got no where with them.

anyone know which route to take? ive thought of small claims and all that but its not worth it in this case or my time/stress to deal with this anylonger

@scootknew

Come on, tell us how much she owes .............. is it a £50 drive past EICR?

Sounds like it by the silence!

Not getting paid is a real pain. I never issue the certificate before I get paid may seem harsh but the dishonest few ruin trust for the majority.

I've never not been paid ( apart from the Small Claims thing I talked about above) but I have had to chase a few people well beyond what the invoice was worth.

Part of the contractual agreements that your services have been employed is that you comply with BS7671 this includes inspection and testing then issue of an appropriate electrical certificate not doing so could be taken as a reason for non-payment.

I have the odd non-payer and two days ago after completing £155 job in 2015 I have again left a paper invoice/certs dated with final demand and 30 days to pay all nicely worded...photographed(date stamped photos) and duct taped in envelope to front door again photographed....it will be a CCJ next month if not payed....it does not matter if it is £30 it is worth getting someones name logged with CCJ (credit sore etc) who is avoiding payment....In your case forget voiding the EICR just send email/txt and hand delivered copies x2 after that state further action will be taken on the 3rd invoice/letter...usually works. and BTW I am very behind on invoicing anyway. No one should mess with your wages if you have done an honest job.

When you take court action against a non payer , your extra costs are added to their bill.

And never get behind with your billing. .....
