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

send nicola sturgeon round. 5 minutes with her , he'l'l be glad to pay up.

Do you have any contract/messages agreeing the work to be done and a price etc?

Small claims. Normally the threat of this will get them to pay.

Do the small claim online, it's easy.

I always ask for the money upfront before carrying out one off EICRs as they don't like paying for an unsatisfactory one!

lol, yes got text messages getting go ahead. im not caring about getting money back. i just told want to be liable for any accidents or fire damage etc from electrical faults as it is my name signed on the cert. im on call to citizens advice the now

CCJ and then if that doesn't work, pay for a High Court Writ, those guys take no prisoners.

My experience from people I know unless you have a really strong case evidence wise etc it will be hard in a small claims court for much to be done you would need contract times dates etc of everything in black and white

dont want*

A eicr is only as good as the day it’s done in my eyes basically at the time testing and inspection was carried out everything was electrically sound. For all you know a cowboy or themselves could alter the wiring etc

sorry was typo, " i dont want to be held liable"

no answer with citizens advice will call tomoz.

my only thinking now is call tenant, go back to flat and just leave them a letter or somthing and explain there is no longer eicr. she will call landlord and complain so atleast someone knows.

Don't involve the tenant. Small claims against the landlord, don't just write the money off, you're running a business not a charity.

Use Business Debt Collection & Recovery Solicitors | Thomas Higgins Limited - https://www.thomashiggins.com - the first letter threatening court is £3, this should prompt payment

 

[Frazer]

Do you have all the details for the landlord like home address etc as you will need these I would imagine can’t just send these things to the tenants house to pass on?

Op, honestly don’t understand why you are expending energy “ trying to void” the EICR. Assuming you are happy with the content/accuracy of your report, you are no better or worse off than for any report you have issued.
Simply, the issue is you have not been paid for work you were contracted to do. Issue the appropriate reminder/warning before action letters and raise a Small Debt action if necessary.
Don’t get me wrong, late/no payers p**s me off no end, but focus you’re energy on getting paid would be my advice.

 

[scootknew]

hmm, guess your right not to involve tenant. ill sleep on it and tackle this shitshow tomorrow. thanks for the help

 

[Frazer]

Is it even possible to void a eicr? I thought after issued that’s it kind of like a mot test certificate after been approved can you just undo it just curious
