Hi Guys,

Had a call from LOM Maintenance, in Southend, they do call out work accross the country.
They seemed proffessional, but they do not pay!! I only did two jobs, but as i'm cautious and busy, i waited and got plenty of calls, but was unable to help.
When i spoke to the call centre last, and said no work till i get paid. No more calls, no more work.

Anyone else had dealings with them??
 
Did 2 jobs in Jan and Feb 2013 have phoned about 20 times and emailed Sue about the same amount of times she promises payment - never comes now nearly six months - they phoned last week to pass me a job - really !!!!!!!!!they have a freephone number which I have passed to my family we will all call them several times a day till I get payment 0800 121 6002 their sales guy Andrew answers the phone now he hangs up on me. Steer well clear.

I have a small pest control company, they owe me nearly £600, they lie about paying. director called Lawrence. At present they have 5 ccj agianst them. They charge customers £100 + vat for a wasp nest (we charge £50), they take the money then get a sub contractor to do the work & then not pay the sub contractor. Crooks. I wish some thing could be done.
 
Well, yesterday was a good day. LOM called me for a call out, I agreed and waited for their confirmation email. Once I had the client contact number, I rang it, explained the situation with this outfit and put her on to the electrical safety register (I was unavailable at the time, she did offer to deal with me directly). She thanked me for saving her paying over the odds and I hope someone on the list was able to help her. LOM called me up today and asked if everything went ok, so I gave them the news that I hadn't attended and my reason why, they informed me they'd check with accounts. I'm not expecting to get paid for the work I did for them before, but at least I stopped them taking money yesterday. If anybody fancies popping in to their offices, not heavy handed, just a mass visitation, i'm up for it later in the year?
 
Hi Guys Unfortunately they are still at it. I have done a few jobs and got paid but then they have done the dirty on us. Poor 92 year gentelman no electricity on a friday night emergancy call out .......you know the one hearts strings a tugging,spent 2 hours there getting everything sorted for him. They charged him a fortune!.....never paid me despite numerous attempts and LOADS of excuses. one more job also not paid from them. fed up with there crap now nearly six months. taken them to court!! DONT WORK FOR THEM !
 
Well i'll be a dutchman's uncle, I have received a cheque for the work I did all those months ago. This is very odd, because i'm certain the email I had from their accounts person, Sue, a couple of months back, told me they were paying me in the next BACS run. I'm expecting the cheque to bounce, but i'm amazed they sent it given the length of time etc. I'll keep you posted. (even if the cheque does clear, i'm still not working for them again, just to clear that up).
 
Don't rejoice until the cheque has cleared. At least by issuing a cheque, even if it bounces they've effectively admitted the debt so it should be easier to seek a legal remedy through the courts should you decide to go that route.
 
I did a job for these guys last year and didnt get paid. They have since phoned me on 3 seperate ocations asking me to do more work for them! Needless to say i told them where to go on each occation but they havnt taken the hint yet! I just hope nobody else gets done by them.
 
12 months later they are still asking me to attend call outs!
No pay, no way, never, even if they pay me, and give me £2k compensation for messing me about!

Take the hint, get lost!!!

Idiots!

but did the cheque clear? that's the important piece of info missing.
 
I did a job for them a couple of weeks ago. Just sent invoice and was looking for an address to put on invoice Searched name and got load of sites with traders not receiving payment - link to this thread came up to. I will update if I get paid (or not). Probably no address exists - just phones and a PO Box address.
 
I have just been on the phone to Kirsty ,Sue and Richard we've had an abrupt conversation about a cheque that hasn't arrived .They to need to have permission from their manager to process anything .I was told they pay after thirty days because so that they can process all the information and have it sorted out on time :/ .my wife saw this coming but I didn't .When are you guys planning the mass visitation count me in please .I will personally hire a bus and pick everyone up !!
 
I do not recommended this organisation to any traders who provide the service for them as they are a shamble, in all means they charge the customers and they don't pay the trader after finishing the job. scammer scammer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
