Awkward job coming up

[Vortigern]

I don't think I would take the job. I might advise the customer of the situation with the contractor doing the kitchen. I do not imagine I could work co-operatively with the person. It may result in problems on the job. It is really a conflict of interests.

I get that, however I would feel like I was failing myself if I had to start turning work down because some A hole that wouldn’t pay me was working the same job.

Well fair enough I see your viewpoint. Perhaps it may be wise to at least apprise the customer of the situation and let them have the first choice on that. They may well pick up the lack of co-operation between you and you could lose a customer if they are not forewarned???? They may choose another kitchen fitter for all we know!

Interesting responses.

Knee jerk reaction was to inform the customer… but discussing with my wife, we thought I should be the bigger man and just do the job. I don’t have to be friendly with him.

The problem I see is that if I tell the customer, can he then accuse me of telling tales/ losing him work/ somehow blocking the wages arrestment??

I don’t know how he can still be self employed. His last company folded as he didn’t send in accounts etc, (was an ltd) and now he’s trading under a different name.

Mhmm complicated! Listen to the wife then.

Go to Registry Trust and see what he has against him- make sure your CCJ is there, this is then evidence you can let the client know about it

REGISTRY TRUST LINK

Home

You have a duty to make your client aware (hand them the report from Registry Trust and let them make their mind up- then you have informed them)
If things were to go pear shaped with the joiner with the client and it came out you could have told them this it may be awkward for you.

You could also get the RT info and do a leaflet drop with it


Can you check if he owns his van through DVLA and HPI check- if he does then you can have a baliff seize it to expedite payment.

Do they own a property? Add an inhibition - you will get interest ay 8% per annum
