Am I a bad customer / job magnet

[Whyme]

Personally i would chase it 'as you are' because what you have fit is still yours untill full payment and with you trying your best to rectify said ncs (that you acknowledged before you were kicked off) within the original cost speaks volumes. The downside of NOT is that the next tradesman could be wringed for a free job (not your problem i know). Bare in mind there are people out there who have amazing houses virtually for free due to serial contesting and refusals so its up to you how far you pursue it.. If you do pull this off i vote you the tradesman's CHAMPION..

Debt collectors. Feck court. Find the local bum hole debt agency. Make sure your legal ... Makes no difference to how they work.


Only removed one boiler. That was mm because bloke was going bust and house was being repossessed!

Oh yes, debt collectors. Nasty lot that don't give up, they deserve them.

 

[Ermintrude]

I would gladly give 25% of the total to them the 25% would be soo well spent .

 

[Whyme]

The last debt collectors we used, Got the money (you only get 2 thirds) after all avenues were pursued. Don't know what them crazy scouses did but they got our cash after 5 other company's failed. And they moved house haha.

 

[missplumb]

if you are the managing director (it has to be the MD), you can go to court,get an order for removal of goods to the amount owed with reasonable costs and you have the same legal abilities as a certified bailiff. i learnt this in my days as a bailiff

Ok haven't heard anything today as they promised to call me to sort out return of my stuff or payment nothing ?? So how shall I work this. How do I sell the dept ?? To dept collectors ect help would be good cheers Pete

 

[julesverne]

One question to ask you pjf did you do the quote within 14 days of them accepting a quote. Distance selling regulations may apply is this what cust is referring to.

 

[julesverne]

Don't give in send them a final reminder for full payment and if they don't yield then file a claim with the county court. Only costs £100.00 you have bent over backwards you will win your case.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

definately go down the small claims court route before selling on to debt collectors.

Erm, you are really getting me confused now?
So how does he convince a Debt collector he is owed money if no court has found in his favour?
Any debt collector accepting will be one dodgy fella

I think that was Ermi's point.

If this happened to me, before jumping in with both feet, I would make an appointment with my local Citizens Advice bureau. (assuming you have one open in your locality)
You may at the least, obtain some sort of legal guidance that is not going to cost you anything.
A national company such as BG would walk away from this job but would still want their materials back. They probably wouldn't pursue it further because of bad publicity. You still have rights but you need to find out exactly what they are. The issue of the 14 day 'cooling off' period for your quote and acceptance of your quote by the customer has been made largely irrelevantby the customer calling in GS for an inspection, and by her continuing to use the boiler.
I feel for you on this one and I hope you get it sorted, but do get some advice before pursuing it further.

Ok update haven't heard or spoken to these people for 2 weeks and I get a letter from gas safe saying that they have returned to the property to reinspect the job as they have found other problems so the inspector did another insoetion and found the flue was apart !!!! Amongst other faults He sent me the report and explained that they don't want you to return i was mad !! Phoned gas safe and said how can you blame me for stuff other 6 weeks after install other people have been there I've got this in writing !! Got home from work about half hour ago. My boiler flue slate trvs everything dumped in my front garden !!!!! What ????? No answer on there phone

 

[IDCHAPPY]

At least you have your materials back? to be honest, i don't think there is much you can do now apart from suck it up and move on.
Another blow but fighting for a grand or so labour will get you nothing but grief.

 

[julesverne]

At the risk of this sounding like an over reaction I would find who this other GSR is and beat the fcuk out of him I would seriously do this if this was happening to me and I would put the boiler through there front window. I'm not saying you should do this but it's what I would do. I would be ******* spitting blood
