I am writing to warn you about Easy Services 24hr. They run a service company supplying electricians, plumbers etc to commercial companies and they use local trades people to provide this service.

I carried out a job with them on 9th April and I am still chasing them for payment. each time I contact their accounts department, they fob me off with which ever excuse they haven't used.
Firstly I was told the invoice was going to be paid 30 days from date of invoice. When I chased payment, they then told me that the customer was a different case and the invoice would be paid when they got paid.
Over the course of May and June I have phoned them numerous times and told that the cheque would be raised on a certain date then when I chased after this date they said if wasn't going to be raised for another week.
Then when it did not arrive I chased again only to be told that the cheque was with the director and they were waiting for it to return. This went on for another 3 weeks when I was eventually told the cheque was being put in the post on the 23rd June. I have chased again today 27th June only to be re-told that the cheque was still with the director and the woman I spoke to on the 23rd said that she never said the cheque would be in the post.

The managing dierctor of Easy Services 24hr, a man by the name of Laurence, must be very proud of his accounts department as they seem willing to lie through their back teeth every time I speak to them, to hold onto my money.

Please steer clear of this company unless you like doing work for nothing.
 
been doing work for them also....!! currently chasing ÂŁ800

They finally paid, but I have been pestering them constantly for months, then emailed them with details of all of my conversations with them with a foot note saying that I would have to start small claims proceedings if I didn't get a response.
My suggestion is to pester and keep everything in writing.

Good Luck !
 
just sent solicitors letters to them today!

unfortunately the way i see it is that they have the money coming in but must have a cash flow shortage! as they seem to have a few decent contracts with some big players!
 
Normally what happens when you get heavy they then decide to say they are not satisfied with the job, despite they've had 90 days to complain.
Were currently looking to take a petting zoo to court for non payment.
We changed a fan and heater like for like, got the owner to sign it off. We even went back a swapped the 1st supplied heater when that didn't work and didn't charge.

They didn't pay or make any complaint despite various letters... Then they decide they're not happy 3months after we did they job, and after getting a letter from our debt collection firm.
