Overdue invoice

[Chalked]

Have you got payment terms written on your invoice?

ring three times a day, pester them to death.

Yes fairly large firm, no it's 60 days from invoice being uploaded onto the system which they do every Friday.

Ive been putting money aside so I'm certainly not eating bread and beans for dinner, but it just makes me angry.

Beans on toast is the dinner of kings. I'll often have it when I've got far superior stuff available because it takes 2 seconds and is bloody brillint. Matter of fact I think I'll have some now.

Yes 60 days, what annoys me most is if they were honest I wouldn't mind so much, it's all the carp of telling me days and failing to pay!
dont expect it from a large firm but how Naive I am.

Typical stalling tactics

walk into the office, sit on the desk of the person who deals with account payments and do not move until its paid. Take some car clamps with you so you can clamp the directors cars if they dont play ball. If all else fails, smoke bomb into offices setting off sprinklers and cost them money.

Really?

they have said it's going to be moving to the 90 day mark so I'm wondering if they are seeing who kicks up, the money is good but I won't be doing work for them any more, the organisation is terrible on all fronts and this is a worry.

The money is good?? its only good when its in your bank not theirs..brum

You know it! And only good if I don't have to use credit till it comes (which luckily I don't)

I have been through all this payments terms for years. 30/45/60 & 90 days.

I got so fed up having so much dough outstanding and so many 'promises of payments' that I actually now get them to detail their payments terms prior to starting work and even prior quoting for some of the larger jobs.

I 'upset' lots of company's and builders over the last 12 months.
Some have come to the party and others have gone elsewhere.
As far as i am concerned, things have been less stressful and as soon as the money is due, I get on the phone and hound people for money.

If money is not paid by the due date and we are on a job - I just pull up stumps, and take everything we can off site.
