Not so much skint but right now I have an ex footballer, famous and quite wealthy one as well I would imagine, being an absolute c##t, owes me nearly £4K, keeps on saying “yeah, il put it in bank later”, never does and hard to get hold of, finished the job before Xmas as well so by the time I’d payed the lads and for all materials, left me potless over Xmas, really getting stressed over it now, but still have roof over our heads so would hate to be truely skint
I’ll go round these people’s gaffs and have a ‘word’ with them for you if you want lads?I think like me, the Plasterer just wants his money soon without any hassle or things getting nasty.
Once you start legal action, you know the money will be a long way off.
So even though it seems daft, you actually want to keep the customer sweet until you're paid.
I'm pretty choosy who i work for. I normally only come unstuck when a third party gets involved.
(ie when you are doing a mate a favour)
So although my natural reaction would be to get nasty, i have learnt the opposite is more effective.
Different tactics work for different people.
The fact this knob hasn't paid up yet, suggests he is not the worrying type. He probably get threatening letters everyday.
Going that route means you will just be added to the list. Footballers all have ego's. I just normally play to that.
I had an Everton player who moved to a London club. He wanted his old house renovating ready for renting.
The work was done super fast with the promise of instant money. The tenant moved in almost immediately.
Then the trouble started. Nobody who worked there got paid. He went into radio silence. He actually changed phone numbers.
Not wanting to be ripped off, i approached the new tenant with my bill. (a Russian official)
I demanded he paid my bill on the landlords behalth . He obviously refused. So i told him i would visit every day until it was paid.
He then did the work for me. I got paid within two hours (by the player). I'm not sure how others got on, but i hope they did the same.
I can’t be doing with free loading cunts me. Think they deserve everything coming to them.
