Does anyone credit check or ID check consumers they work for?
I've been running my electrician contractors for over 10 years now, so you would think I would know the answer to this but I've never really bothered to do it. I do credit check commercial clients, but a while ago Credit safe suggested I do some ID checking on consumers.
I kind of agree as although every single job doesn't even get booked without a signed contract, what if the consumer doesn't actually own the home or falsify their name.
I've not been knocked by too many consumers, but it has happened for a few smaller amounts of money and despite getting a CCJ secured against each non payer, I still never got paid, perhaps because the person wouldnt care as it wasn't really their name.
Thoughts?
