yep....all very formatted n all jay....sob stories galore!!.....thing is thiugh....the one thing that ties all these stories together is the use of `verbal agreements`......and no disrespect to the O/P...but i mean when you have larger sums of money changing hands why the hell would you not draw up a contract.....the genuine will see the benefits of this.....the sly n devious will want to shy away from it.....I would keep your eyes on chanel five. You may see your self and the builder on cowboy builders. They only show how upset the customer is and dont always tell the full story. This guy may tell them the sob story saying you did not finish your work and there were bits missing etc and that will make you look bad. Its not right. Im not saying there arnt any cowboys owt there, cos we know there are, but in this case the cowboy is the customer!!!

well i wouldn`t care about plungin em into darkness.....if i didn`t get my money....that bullit would get pulled......they can either wire their install into the nearest lamppost....or huddle around said lamppost till it either gets too cold...or its bedtime....i just wouldn`t care....oh the fun you could have wandering down the street pulling fuses in the middle of the night.
slightly comforting though isnt it.....just thinking about pullin that bullit.....then watchin em struggle to work out what happened...lol...Yes I've thought of this route but I believe I could be done for criminal damage and also he doesnt have a meter box cupboard outdoors but I still have a front door key. Breaking and entering though :S
If you have a key I would have thought that having given you said key the householder was inviting you in, even on occasion when he or his representatives weren't present, therefore you wouldn't be trespassing, would you?
new then....where did i put that plasticene...lol....And it could keep blowing week after week !
Another thing you could tell said customer is that you are going to sell copies of his front door key down the pub to local undesirables to recoup the amount he owes you.
Recently my partner who is a tiler went this way. the court just appointed a surveyor. Who picked up the odd flaw in the tiling. (there are flaws in all jobs if you look hard enough)Everything was within standards and almost perfect, but because it was only almost perfect the case was dismissed. customers had paid 2/3 of the bill. The law is an ---. I think Darkwoods method is the best way. Scare the scum into paying.With regards the Money Claim Online route, has anybody any experience of going through this?
To keep you guys updated I have filed my small claim this morning and paid my £60.00. Rather apprehensive now as to what lies ahead! Just hope it doesn't cost me a fortune. The fact he can counter claim against me is a worry. But in all honesty if I lose this claim then there truly is no justice in the world and people can do exactly as they like :S!
