    They'll get nowhere if the customer's not an idiot and knows how to handle thugs attempting to stand him over.

    If he's genuinely not prepared to pay, take it to the Disputes Tribunal, get an order for payment, then apply to have the court enforce it and collect the money. That way you'll eventually get your money regardless of whether the debtor's easily intimidated or not.

    You did well to come out of that episode without a criminal conviction.

    Stuck a few stickers on and send him a letter:

    Signwriting on your boat as requested finished .
    Please collect and pay outstanding account.

    After certain procedure/ amount of time you are allowed to sell on auction to recover costs....

    as it was I had Boat over summer and enjoyed it....

    M***F*ckers should pay their bills
    Thats theft and he could have had you arrested for taking his boat. If you had sold it they would have thrown the book at you and repossesed it from the unfortunate buyer. In using it you took a huge liberty.........either he was a total twat or there is more to the story. I am ringing the BS bell.......

    I had an ex staff member that got away with more than his fair share. After a year I txt him that he had a week to sort it.
    On the Thursday night I warned him that he had 24 hours, then on the Friday I went to his house, sat him firmly on his arse & he agreed that I could put stuff in my car until I was happy that I had enough.
    Gordy is very happy with the welder!!
    If thats illegal, then so is stealing off your employer & charging stuff up to him that you have no intention of paying for.
    I call even stevens.
    I offered him to sell the debt to the local gangsters, but he prefered it my way.
    Id be happy to name the guy so nobody else employs the fat thieving old cunt.

    Set your alarm for 3 O'clock and knock on his door to wake him up every morning.

    Explain that you have already spent the extra $200 in time explaining it & debt collection.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Meet him at the bank and let him deposit the $1800. Hand him the altered invoice. Tell him thanks for his business, fuck off and find another soft touch for the future.
    Don't burn too much energy on it and chalk it up to exerience.

    Add a Romula Clause to your invoices and notes regarding collection costs and interest on unpaid bills.
    $200 to learn this is cheap

    Don't think I mentioned thugs. But I know a fair few of them too.

    Oh, you were planning on engaging someone to go and ask for the money politely?

    Yes, I suppose that can be either a benefit or a drawback of being in the Harley-Davidson sales and service market, depending on how you look at it.

    Personally, experience has taught me that dealing with criminals is never worth it in the long run. (Unless they're paying cash, of course.)

    Absolutely. Some are very good at it.

    Aye. I deal with them on a professional basis. I don't go drinking with them.

    they SHOULD be called Romula clauses. But they are Romalpa clauses. Rather were. That regime was replaced by the PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register).

    You MUST include on your invoice and in your terms of trade (or preferably your quote) at least the following: "Payment due 20th of the Month following date of invoice. Any late paymwent will incur additional costs including penalty interest at % per month, and all costs of collection". Make them sign and send something back to accept the quote that includes that and bada boom, bada bing, term of the contract.

    Fuck mate if he is a curry muncher you have buggar all chance of seeing anything. Shoulda taken the $1800 when it was on offer and kicked him in the dick for the other $200.

    Spent time in Fiji and had to say wasnt that keen on Nandi. Very hard to deal with FIs. They tend to think a quote is a bargining point that they can talk down after. Never do any extras over a quoted figure for them. when I was quoting at work idd add 20% just so we could afford to remove it later.
    Some even have the theory that if they dont pay a bill they can use it as a bargining tool to get you to do more work. ill pay for that when you come back to do this or that.


    Idd take the 18 and it will take over 200 off effort to get the last bit.
