Data Recovery Scotland
My customer did not pay me for my services – Scottish PC repairer.?
I am owed £45 pounds by a lowlife customer. I have sent a recorded delivery letter to warn that I will take her to the small claims court by a certain date and that date is tomorrow.
I am wondering if it is worthwhile in doing this, or should I just put it down to experience?
I am in Scotland and am a PC repairer. I could not fix the customer’s laptop, but asked if she’d like her data recovered. I recovered the data for £45 and did not charge for looking at her laptop. She says that she thought the data recovery was free as I did not charge for looking at her laptop.
The worst thing about this is that she works in my local tescos and I have to see her ugly face every time I shop.
I am wondering if it is worthwhile as I have no real proof I ever performed any work for this woman. She seems like a typical lowlife professional nonpayer and I can tell from talking to her that she has done this many, many times before.
If they owe you money, I would say it is worth while to take her to court. It will show that you are not backing down from people who owe you money. You may be able to get more than just the 45 pounds out of her because you could charge her late fees and legal expenses. For the future, I suggest you ask for the money in advance, or ask for a credit card that you could charge.
