installed boiler 7 days ago he is refusing to pay for boiler and work done what do i do thanks

 

[WaterTight]

perhaps provide a liiiiiiiiiiitle bit more info on the circumstances. i.e. if he won't pay because the boiler is upside down or if he won't pay because he is dr evil.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

did he agree to the works beforehand? or did he give a general do what needs doing sort of thing.

 

[CES]

This could be tricky one. Did you get him to waive his 7 day cooling off period? Nowadays we have to provide a written contract, otherwise they can legally challenge you and refuse to pay. Personally I would turn up at his home/place of work and confront him as to why he refuses to pay.

 

[Hardy1]

well, did you do anything wrong?, did you give him a written quote and get him to sign it?, have you got any proof?, do you know the reason for him not paying?

 

[Rob Sale]

There are people i.e debt collectors on uk business forum whom might be able to help you bud.

Yes i agree, more info required. You must of asked him why he wont pay you. What was his reply ?

 

[Barry98]

cement in the mains stopcock then a few mates round to his generally works while your other mates are ripping the orignal install out

couple of hawfers through the windae and yer laughin lol

translate that into english means couple of half bricks through the window

but seriously, this isnt happened to me yet but seems to happen alot to the person i'm subbing for, i have something in place to send a letter from a debt collectors agency and if they then refuse that i can get them in to get the money but then it starts costing money and legal fees and would need to make sure your going to win
