Long story but in a nutshell..... Installed a boiler in 2009. Builder never paid. I told him until he paid, I wouldn't notify or give certificate. To this date, never had payment. Home owner has just contacted me to say that she wants me to notify the boiler with gas safe because shes...

I haven't had a problem as yet, but there are stories of customers taking liberties with Installers etc who just won't pay. Is there some sort of comprehensive insurance that would deal with such circumstances fees etc?? Does anyone have such insurance?

Just wondering if any body else nation wide, fitted boilers for the Glowworm/Vaillant group eco deal and have not been paid for them, and had some lame excuse for non payment. A large number have come to light around my area (west yorks) in the last few days. Thanks in advance :veryangry2:

First of all I have to say I hate phones and I've only ever used a mobile for making and receiving calls. With things getting quite busy lately I've had to admit defeat, admit I need one of those fancy 'smart phones' or whatever they're called and get with the times so I can take card payments...

Came across this in one of the trade mags. Link The idea is that before a big job, the customer puts the cash into a bonded account, controlled by bondpay. You do the job, and at the end, assuming all goes well, Bondpay release the money to you. If its a long job, stage payments can be part of...

Hello. Is it considered unusual or 'a bit off ' to ask a plumber if he would accept a credit card payment before he starts the job. I'm getting central heating system put in. Quite a big lucrative job , surely he would insure the 3 or 4 % cost of credit card Payment ?
