    Yes my address is on there and all other information . I stop work after 14 days of no payment but have fond they just get someone else to do the cut can't win . Try to get a meeting is not possible as they don't answer me iv dropped 20 customers in the last 3 weeks . Think I may be targeting the wrong customers as 60% I have no problem with some are slow paying but I know il get it

  Wow , hell my clients get 3 days to pay their bills, no excuses, no crying or complaining, all private contracts, i have a pretty set routine so my clients know when I'm coming, if they are not going to be at home they will pay me either the week before or that evening when they get in, I won't and don't let it slip...

    Do you think it may be that there so many ways to pay me that's the problem ?

      Possibly, I have around 80% of my clients on a set amount each month, I don't give them any options of payment other than a standing order/ direct debit , no cheques, no cash, it gets paid and I don't have to worry about it, just check in on statements at the end of the month, I like the simplicity

        The remaining 20% are clients on a regular basis at a set price but only say once a month, they know when I'm coming also, the only options I give them of payment is bank transfer...

      No, not really, I also offer cheque (as the oldies are not that much computer literate), Pingit, a card reader, cash of course and bank transfer. I dropped online paypal due to the cost to me. The more the better as they have no excuse they could not pay.

      But most are set on Bank transfer. I have one on standing order.

      We offer Bacs, standing order, cash and last resort cheques.  Invariably the clients who want to pay by cheque, forget each & every time. Post the cheque 7 days after they get the invoice, etc But they always pay, had clients do this for many years.

      I wouldn't drop clients just because they are slow payers unless you've got a waiting list.

    Thats what I do. They get 3 days. I send the invoices by email. I follow up with a text message that I sent the email. On the 4th day I send a reminder text. No payment received before next visit I drop them and don't visit ever again, even if they then pay. I cannot deal with the stress and hassle. I get very personally offended if I don't get paid and it hurts and really, really stresses me out big time.
