I did a job for an elderly woman, I gave her the invoice there and then and took payment.
This is my usual practise, everyone was happy.
I have just received a call from a "friend" of the elderly woman asking for a copy of the invoice detailing my hourly rate, call out charges and cost of parts used.
My immediate question was why isn't the customer calling me?
"oh, she's elderly and confused easily"
My response was that she understood how to call a plumber, understood the work done, was happy and paid!
Apparently, her son is interested in the break down, I explained that she (customer) has an invoice but I will put a copy in the post, in the absence of any problem with the work I consider the matter closed. (Go away, leave me alone)
I haven't come across this before are we obliged to give break downs on invoices?
My initial reaction is NO, job done, paid for, no leaks, everyone happy. Move on.
I have no intention (unless you all say differently) to entertain a member of the family because they are too bone idol to step in and take control until its too late.
