    Default Hey,,, I wanna rant

    So back in April we had a client call and want a service on their trailer.
    We don't know them
    We pick up trailer find out it has issues, call client, they say OKie DOkie repair.
    We repair, they call and say they need it before the weekend, we step it up and get-r-done.
    Deliver back
    never meet said client in person. Email invoice and call to confirm.
    Everything Okie Dokie.
    Check is in the mail. 1 week later call no check, sorry check in the mail on Wednesday I wil personally see to it.
    That saturday get a call, cients wife says I need an invoice, reply invoice sent via email, resopnse Oh OK will send out check.
    Another week no check call client, client becomes Irate, Fuck you check is in mail no other check will be sent you will rip us off I will ruin you blah blah blah,

    We put a lock on said trailer where she sits.
    NOW ASSHOLE is really pissed, we can't use it tomorrow, will cut it off call the cops.
    DUH already did that, waiting on asshole to cut it off as Jeffco sherriff said it is a crime so wait for it,,, wait for it.

    We have never in 25 years had an issue with anyone we serviced or reapaired a trailer without seeing them face to face, hell I have several clients I have NEVER met in person but alwaus send the payment the same day.

    OK end of rant, anyone I can't meet after repairs from now on done get their steenkin trailer back till I gets da $$$

    Having a cold 1 and waiting on said asshole to respond, show up or??? LOL

    Put a lien on his trailer title, for the amount of repairs. plus the labor to do paperwork and mileage, etc just in case he does come get it. I'll buy it for what he owes you :-D

    A man used to be good for his word. Those days are long gone my friend. Sorry to hear you're going through this nonsense. Hope it all comes out okay.
    The character of a man can be judged by how he treats those who can do nothing for him

    Yeah I know, leaglly I can pick it up and charge storage here at the shop till he pays.
    Just can't stand assholes who don't pay their bills.
    We are a cash business, we pay for our materials and supplies as we get them we run NO credit. Makes for a better business and we get better service from our suppliers.

    Charge extra for your wasted time now. They are going to call you a shady business no matter what so you might as well get paid for the bs.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Nothing P***es me off more than that "check's in the mail I swear!" BS! Or clients who won't just sack up, answer your call, and be a decent human being. One client owed our company in the thousands of dollars, she'll send all my calls to voicemail. So I went and brought my USB headphones/mic and called her through gmail and *surprise* she picks up the phone and is caught like a deer in the headlights when I "inquire" about payment on the open balance. "Oh, I sent the amount over to A/P you'll hopefully see the check next week". Uh Huh.

    I'm surprised he didn't pay you with an EBT card since he thinks he is entitled to your labor.
