Well I have been trading about 20 weeks now, And I have to say Things are hard but non paying customers make it harder.
Sunday 1st of April 2012 7:30am
Phone starts ringing OH for ****s sake I thought sunday lye in ruined.
A ladies boiler was leaking all over her kitchen floor and she was crying so I thought ok I will go along.
Boiler: 15/19 heat slave
Problem: Fibre washer had gone on the incoming main where it connects to the HW heat exchanger. Evidently it had been leaking a while as the heat bank on the boiler was HEAVILY corroded and also leaking. So I isolated it and said id be back on monday. Whilst Inspecting the boiler the lady said she didnt know how she was going to be able to pay me... My heart sank great 10 Quids worth of fuel wasted I thought.
Monday 2nd April 2012
Returned to the job, and the lady had concoted a rather elaborate plan to make a fraudlent claim on her insurance to pay for the repair. She had told her insurance company that she has fallen into the boiler(I should mention at this point that the boiler is located in a cupboard under the stairs) And this is what had apparently caused the leak and months worth of corrosion on the heatbank(No this is called "Fair wear and tear" not "accidental damage"), And to make it worse she wanted me to back her up on this in a written report. I Refused As I currently have no desire to be convicted of insurance fraud; So she then turns on the water works oh boo hoo boo hoo. Sorry the care cup is empty water off a duck ****ing back to me I thought.
So basically I wont be doing the job and I know iam not going to get paid what Iam owed so far.
