Hi guys from canvassing I’ve been doing lot of firsts cleans this year, most have been sound & transfer money over within a few days. Recently though two I picked up I felt seemed a little chavy (rough), I done there windows for them earlier in week & so far they haven’t transferred or replied to say they will or anything. I’ll give them few more days before I send reminder text but I have a feeling they are not going to pay. This infuriated me as I grafted on those houses they were very dirty and also my round is not full so I’m not loaded with money.
Have any of you guys had issues like this with new customers/first cleans?
Apart from sending text reminders, calling or knocking on door there’s not much I can do… I’ve read about small claims but doesn’t feel worth it over £15 (each house so I’m owed £30) plus I highly doubt I’d get anywhere with it as I don’t have there names and they seem the type who would ignore it anyway. I just have phone number and address. I feel like I’ve been mugged off, pretty hard to take, I’m gonna hassle them for months if I have too. Hopefully they’ll suprise me and pay up once I send reminder.
I can’t wait til I’m established, full up and have reliable customers. I think then if new ones want clean I can be more picky as I did feel suspicious with them but you can be wrong.
Any advice be appreciated
