What Should You Do With Non-Payers?

[richy3333]

Register and use Thomas Higgins solicitors. They've been very effective for me this year in recovering bad debts. The £1.50 letter usually secures payment If it doesn't then let the sue this guy for you and also put an ad in the local paper letting others know what a ----er he is

Small claims court for me. Minimum cost is £25 then in increments. I always send a 7day intent of further action notice then give a further 7 days then put it into county court. Don't forget the court costs that you pay and interest can be added to the original cost. I have even put a county court judgement against a guy who owed me £40 by the time it finished he paid over £100 for not paying the original bill and because he didn't pay that on time it went against his credit rating too. Never let anyone get away with it. Stck up for your rights. In the eyes of the law you had a verbal contract and that is all that is needed.
he can't dispute what work has been carried out so if it goese the big if! To court the judge will estimate the hours of work etc just accept what the judge says. PS don't get a solicitor, the judge will help you and guide you. I got told that by a solicitor friend of mine

Thanks for the additional advice folks.
I've prepared a N1 claim form, but I think I'll engage Thomas Higgins first and get them to send a 'Letter Before Action'. Their website says this will cost £2 initially. Well worth it if he pays up!
I might also follow the suggestion of putting an ad in the paper naming and shaming, whether he pays or not.

Don't get mad- get even

If it goes as far as a decree (CCJ) then wait a month before demanding monies. If he pays within a month then he can have TrustOnline remove the CCJ as if it never existed

The secret is to not push for payment for over 30 days, then it's on his credit file for 6 years.

Wait until they go to work, get their hose pipe, push it through the letter box, turn it on and run giggling like a girl.

What kind of car does he have? Does it have nice working tyres?

Im not suggesting anything by this post, and it should NOT be interperated in anyway shape or form to resemble damaging someones property :smilewinkgrin:. Breaking the law is wrong.
