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

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!

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
 
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
 
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.
 
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

Im sure mr chappy can give the mobile number of glaswegian that will get you anythin and do anythin for 40quid,

Serious note tho FUT EM
 
Another bad thing with this P J F is that ar$e holes will bad mouth you to folks depriving you of any future work and thats the worst of things like this,
 
I would seek legal advise mate and act on any professional advice given if that's to pursue them for lose of wage or not, I certainly wouldn't advocate damaging property or violence!!
Look at the long game, you have far more to lose personally and professionally by seeing the red mist.
 
40quid sounds good,,,, i think he realises were only jokin , but its no joke for P J , the only thing with legal advice is gassafe has already been out so the poor man hasnt got no proof and no one in his corner apart from all of us,
 
i really think you should forget about this one fella! all its gonna do is wind you up and put you in a **** mood , even if you took them to court and got anything out of them .FORGET THE JOB AND MOVE ON for your own sake
 
Just forget it. Put it down to experience. Learn from it.

You can't change what has happened, if you don't move on it will eat away at you!

Sorry stan but If someone did you over for a couple of grand (this includes labour) would you just open a beer and calm down . I know I wouldn't , I chase every bloody penny because I earned it.

i wouldn't let a cust get away with 50 quid let alone a few grand. It's the principle

I want them to put in writing that's the end then I'll move on they are scum more than scum
 
What do you mean they have done irreparable damage when removing YOUR boiler and now the case is damaged and un useable! This is an outrage!

Whats that? They damaged your driveway when they dropped it?

Id be sending after some sort on compensation for damage caused!

see how it feels when the boot on the other foot has a steel toe!
