    People that mess about with payments.

    Just why do they do it, promise they will pay the next day and nothing comes, give you the runaround, try and get you back doing more stuff and they will settle up with you etc. Its not like they will never pay you, they usually do eventually as they always need more stuff doing, its like they...

    Will replacement panels of same total capacity jeopardise FiT payments

    Hi all, as per the above title. If one is to replace the existing solar pv panels for a new system of equal capacity (existing system is 8 x 250w=2000w total) with 5 x 400w=2000w in total, will that risk jeopardising FiT payments. By doing that it would give enough room to add 4 more panels of...

    ISSUES WITH OLEV PAYMENTS

    As most electricians know, if you are fitting ev chargers then 90% of the time you need to do it via the OLEV scheme for domestic customers and claim the £500 grant from OLEV or you just aren't competitive on pricing. OLEV now have such a backlog that from when you submit the paperwork to them...

    Proposal to ban cash payments?

    On radio last night they were discussing the idea that the tax man might ban cash payments for tradesmen/women. The idea is that for jobs over a certain amount you would have to take card/cheque or bacs transfer. It will also stop cash in hand for a lower fee They are supposedly going to be...

    Anybody accept card payments from customers?

    Had a phone call today from a company called iZettle, they make a little card reader that connects to your phone so you can take card payments from customers there and then on the spot. it has it advantages in that you don't have to chase up payment after a job and saves the risk of dodgy...

    late payments

    Why do customers think it's ok to ignore the due date on invoices? The last month or two has been a nightmare. Chasing up payment and get BACS that takes an extra 3 days or cheque that takes 4 days. I'm going to start going in to asda take my shopping and tell them I'll pay it in a couple of...

    Export payments no longer apply for extensions as well as no FIT payments

    More on our take on this at the Leeds Solar blog in short, bit of a kick in the teeth really, we had 3 customers lined up to have extensions put in based just on getting export payments, and that looked to me to be a sensible start on the gradual road to a zero FITs situation. Suppliers we'd...

    Old Buildings, EPC's Insulation Improvements and the RHI payments

    Quite a few of our clients have large, old, high heat load buildings. So having the EPC done at the correct time is critical to get the right RHI payments. If the building has already or can't have cavity wall insulation and has 250mm of Loft insulation (or can't have it done), then the EPC as...

    Pricing a few jobs lately that got me thinking. Customers desperately needing their home rewired ( both very unsafe ) but finance is a major sticking point. JRC Finance ?
