Smear dog ---- on his car door handles,

as you are in Scotland £50 paid to the a local enforcer down the local boozer usually revolves these issues.
 
But if the client just takes the eicr and fakes the signuature or whatever they then have a valid eicr? No one would know it wasn’t signed by whoever done it until something went drastically wrong or whatever so then they would more likely be like I’m not paying? Cash up front always before eic/eicr or its a no go
 
Just saying this because I’ve heard people fake eicr to sell house or whatever and they have never had comebacks done agree but shows how easily it can be done
 
I don't do a lot of EICR's because others seem happy to bash them out for £50-£70...instead of emailing an unsigned one most test software or even PDF Printers allow printing of a watermark over each page...could even have something like "SPECIMEN, FULL COPY SENT OF RECEIPT OF CLEARED FUNDS"
 
hmm, guess your right not to involve tenant. ill sleep on it and tackle this shitshow tomorrow. thanks for the help

I'm assuming the landlord instructed you to do the work ......... so you have no reason to involve the tenent.

You should begins the process of chasing after 30 days, progressively getting stronger in your actions until issueing court proceedings after 60 days.

You are in business to earn a living!
 
Small Claims is easy. It is also why I try and do everything by email.

Only had to take one customer to court. They folded on the morning of the case and paid everything owed. I still went in and was awarded expenses for a full days work!
 
Was the EICR a verbal instruction?
have you had any other correspondence other than verbal eg email of the address from them regarding the property
was there anything on the report that the agent would dislike eg C1's that they would have to spend money on
what action have you taken regarding this invoice eg sent text emails, letter and had no response back from them.
These are all points that would/not go in your faver if you go down the small claims route
 
hi again, no im not going down the small claims route its not worth it. ive done alot of work for this person past 3 years and past few jobs been very easy so not a huge loss not getting paid for this eicr. not heard from her in 3 months regarding any new work so ive kinda took the hint. unfortunately for her shes lost a very decent and fair spark who didnt pester her for money and done all jobs above board. to be honest she was an idiot and i dont know how she run a business, like sending me wrong addressees, many spelling mistakes, once kept calling me by a different name lol like gary coz he had same toolbag, i mean shes on another planet. i hope now she'll get some dodgy spark to do her work and will totally regret it, not to mention they will go after her if not get paid and all that. oh well good riddance, i wont be losing sleep over this. in the mean time im focusing on other contracts and making better money working for this idiot. once was charging her £40 call out coz just started buisness and didnt have much of a clue for price and all that.
 
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
Bit confused about you being concerned about being held liable? Surely if you completed an EICR that just details the state of the installation. Once you’ve given that to client it’s down to them to act on your report and recommendations whether they’ve paid you or not?
 
At least send her an email/letter what have you to lose than 5/10 minutes you never know she may have forgotten about you and then pay.
 
What about the next tradesman/woman that doesn't get paid and has to chase her up?
