Bad customers/clients who wont pay...

[nick182]

Hi, (im not sure if this topic should be posted here or not but im AnGrY! and i need to VENT!) my apologies before hand... anyways,

as the title suggests.

basically, we are all out there trying our damn hardest to make a living and to make ends meet...

Ive just spend a tonne of cash to get qualified over the years. I have spent a lot of hard study time with moments of frustration and bad tempers. Ive failed a few exams and have studied even harder. I have spent loads to be possibly the best i can be in order to make a decent living..

Now im an honest/hardworking/passionate electrician who simply wants to make life a little easier and safe guard people from danger. BUT i am tired after clients who refuse to pay when u have opened ur wallet to pay for materials etc..

I want to know is there a way that this can be stopped? A way of blacklisting customers or clients who refuse to pay for the work done and to stop US hardworking electricians who struggle to make ends meet to make sure that no other electrician works for them? I dont want another fellow electrician to work for the same client as i have had who previously ripped me off!!!

Ive had enough of clients continually asking for a discount.. or to come down on price.. or simply refusing to pay a cent because the bill was not under a "£100"


Well i say NOMORE! Something has to be done in order to protect our livelyhoods not only from cowboys who undercut us but from clients who just simply wont pay...

We have spent far too much money and time to get this far to be pushed around by anybody that includes the clients...

We need people like you to stand up for what you believe in (our livelyhoods) and to have these customers/clients who refuse to pay BE BLACKLISTED! meaning that no hardworking decent electrician will work for these guys no matter what...

Electricians United... lets do something about this together. I need your help! and together we can make a stand.

Do you agree?

All comments welcome. good or bad

if we started a members only site and the only way to access the bad payers list was to insert your enrolement numbers it would keep out said people, we could use disclaimers of it is the opinion of electrician X that mr tightwad of 22 out to screw you Drive is a person not of correct paying nature and should be compared to eating sandwiches at the beach

I like that! Now is it the micro bore first and then the foam around it?

15mm is better for a normal motorist, it will let them pull off before choking the exhaust. Try and accelerate and then your bu**ered!

Mind you with some of the little boy racers around here 22mm would be better, give them a bit more rope.

• Open car
• Sit in car
• Switch on boom box
• Start engine
• Rev the bo%%cks off it
• Reverse and try to pull a doughnut in the road
• Foot hard down and head to a blind junction

With enough back pressure the exhaust will explode! (With any luck).

I wonder how I know about that?

Microbore first... otherwise it too will fill with foam. And you can't put too much foam in either.
Having said that, if the rear silencer is very close to the end of the exhaust, those perforated tubes provide an excellent surface for the foam to key to, even if they are coated with soot
