He does have 3 years to start a claim I would go ahead with claim and just learn not to allow it to go on so long next time. If you don't do the claim it's like him sticking his 2 fingers up at you every time you go past that club and it will just eat at you. You can always go on judge rinder court show. Lol

Beat him up, break every finger and smash his knees in with a hammer, then get an alibi

Contact Densel Washington AKA Robert McCall, he charges by the second, he is good though, a bit violent but gets the job done.

There are some misguided suggestions and opinions here, the law has changed on debt collection so you should not be paying any percentage to have a debt collected, I am not sure on any limitation on proceedings speak to a solicitors firm who specializes in this area such as Business Debt Collection & Recovery Solicitors | Thomas Higgins Limited - https://www.thomashiggins.com good luck.

He initially brought the material to begin with, I brought some to complete second fix. The £5000 is actually £5700, this is for the work that I have done coming in and out over 6 months.

It's because he was always saying he was going to pay me.
Promise is comfort to a fool.

I think the OP needs to grow a pair

Send the customer a final demand and if no payment is forthcoming just initiate legal action..............

Apparently, there is something new now, the debtor pays all the bills. A bit like no win no fee. That is why I'm tempted to go that route.

With money claim online, the cost of taking action is ADDED to the debt.

Money claim online is now not always the most efficient way of recovering a debt, it is easier and quicker to put it the hands of a specialist debt collection agency such as Thomas Higgins, they collect the debt, you get 100% of what is owed and they get awarded the costs and chase them, it really is a no brainer.

Yes, there seem to be new options now that I was not aware of. Anyway thank you to everyone who has replied. Would anyone like to know the outcome of the route I take and results ?. As it could help others.
