Customer owes me two grand, best way to get it?

You're telling the story hot-shot...

haha....fuckin hell....nice come back

...there are times when putting the fear of god into someone actually works.

With you on that. A remedy doesn't have to be 100% legal to be effective...

I still do some debt collection work and have for years.

You have to give folk a chance to do the right thing and save face. Getting all pissy just gives folks the moral excuse not to pay.

For the gas company I used to drop in a 1700 when they were cooking dinner and say I have been sent out to turn the gas off. I then have had to listen to every BS excuse under the sun. I then used to say that i don't want to be a bastard and cut them off, but that they had to call the bad debt man at accounts payable imeadiately as he was the only person who could call me off. They then call the man while I wait and make arangements on the spot to pay the bill. I had a 100% success rate doing this and basically was still the nice guy.


Just today I got a $150,000 out of a corporate by just being the nice guy and making it possible for them to do the right thing. The accountant has been chasing this at $150/hr for 3 months, it took me 20 min to get the money, but this is another story for another time.

On the other hand it's not actually my money and I'm Scotts and are actually a tight fisted wanker.

hey I dont doubt that shit happens all the time and still does. I am not saying that it shouldnt happen either, pricks should pay their bills. What I am saying is that I find it hard to beleive that a guy that owes money for some signs, sits back and lets some bloke hook his boat to the back of his wagon and drive off, then watchs the same signwriter run around the ocean in it for the summer without doing anything about it? Really? Do you think you would do that? I equally find it hard to believe that after stealing his boat, someone would think that they could sell it to reclaim monies owed for signwriting unrelated to the boat and get away with that either. Come on....really? Fark off....no way.

PM me if you want me to tell you when and where and whom why..

Don't like to be called a liar
Better get your facts sorted before you go there
could tell you other stories, but be a waste of time
sounds like you had to much of a sheltered life...

So you have a long thin cock?

Absolutely. Take the Kim.com raid for example.

Well you do sound a bit scary. Do you look like some horrible Biker?, or is that you in the pic below your post?

So you finally collected those parts from Triumph NZ then?

In some cases some folk just don't care who they rip off. Triumph NZ fall into this category, just theving scumbags IMHO. Good luck getting money from people like this.

Every time I see a nice new Triumph, and I have had a few and love the bikes, I think nice bike shame that the local importer. The motorcycle industry here does not need operators who place business before ethics. I personally won't be buying a Triumph while Triumph NZ is in the supply chain.

I often complain about how the Japs used to agressively market and dump bikes on a market, distroying local manuifacturers but at least they don't rip the customers off.

I've been stupid enough to own 3 GasGas & a Triumph, which along with Aprilia are all under their umbrella.

Fortunately GG have a great dealer in chch & there is this great thing called the internerd so Aust & US are on standby.

Anyway you filthy liar, you still have a Triumph. For giggles you should ask them for parts for it.

[The Lone Rider]

I retract my previous offer to take care of it. I just had elbow surgery and would need a few months to claim itcob

I have no doubt that they would be happy to take my money again.

[Brett]

90% recovery vs 0% presently? Yep, take the money. In cash.

Exactly...write the remainder off as bad debt and call it a day.

Sort of an unsecured no interest loan scheme
