Well what a chew.
Did an ensuite over three months ago. Billed them, hadn't realised until mid November that they hadn't paid. They do a bank transfer and I've worked for them before.
So I gives them a call. Oh well the showers not working properly and there's a leak. Not a problem, I'll call this week to sort. Oh we are away. Well I haven't said when I'm coming.
All in all it's taken until the beginning of last week to get there and sort it. Told them I wanted payment sorting before Christmas as it's well overdue and the issues didn't warrant non payment anyway. They said no problem.
Nothing at all. Not answering phone calls, not replying to emails.
So this morning pinged off an e-mail. It's 3200, plus 5% for non payment immediately and an extra 5% for non payment on Oct 28th, Nov 28th Dec 28th.
It got them moving.
E-mail back. I want a breakdown of your invoice.
Normally I wouldn't do it, but I had an excel spreadsheet with it all on. Cut out the working out and beamed it across.
E-mail back. It's not on a letterhead, it looks like you are not putting it through your business.
Pinged back. That's why it's going into my business account!!!!! Dropped it into a word document and attached it.
I'm back there in the New Year, supposedly, to install an unvented cylinder.
If it still goes ahead I will go, strip out the old cylinder, put the hammer through it, and then find that oops the new cylinders not here. Bye.
Seriously considering getting out of this. I love my job but theses a$$holes make you look like a t!t when you can't pay your own bills.
Rant over, where's my tomato soup.
