Apologies for this being my first post on the forum, I intend to write an introduction post too once I've finished here.

I've had some trouble receiving full payment from a customer. I'm guessing many of you may have had issues like this before, if so, what's the best way to approach the situation? Feel like going round there and removing cables! Any help would be appreciated.

For all who haven't heard of Vedhas, they do remedial work for insurance companies UK wide. As it's all emergency repairs it's usually an hour or 2 - 3 at most as the insurers won't go over that! I've done 12 jobs for them since January, so hardly a major income source! Biggest problem is...
