Obligations

[trev]

then if it were me I would send a polite email (once you have the funds cleared) stating that to be threatened with physical violence is unacceptable and your working relationship is untenable. Then move on to the next

Then once they move in, go to the pet shop and buy a couple of pregnant mice. When they go out post them through the letter box
Edit.. Don't do that, it was a joke.

Pass the job onto DurhamSparks, I'll pop up with him just to wind the customer up. I'll even bring my own dead fish to put under the floorboards and behind plaster boards.

Do you fancy it DS?

Monkeyhanger, if I have understood you correctly you have no contract with the householder and no scope of works either by the sound of things, so you are under no obligation to return ( and if I were you I would not return, what kind of people threaten physical violence!) You may have a verbal contract with the Bulider, but that is down to who said what ,when. In fact the whole arrangement sounds amateur. The Builder is employed by the householder I assume, what is the scope of his contract? but the householder is responsible for paying you, so in short if they do take you to court ( which I do not believe they will) they will lose because they have no contract with you and their contract arrangements with others are unclear and the law does not look kindly on things that are unclear.

On another point, if the householder is doing works to the electrical installation himself who is going to sign it off? I hope that he is not expecting you to do that ??! Good luck and if I were you I would not return to this job and I would make the reason clear to the Builder who introduced you to the situation in the first place.

Reverse Psychology, Front them.... Grow a set of balls and tell them in no uncertain terms how it is and how it will be. You now want money for second fix upfront or YOU will see them in court. Sounds like you're dealing with a bunch of gobby dim witts so unless you are physically afraid of these people put it to them.

I am not the biggest of people and I am quite softly softly whilst going about my professional business but when it comes to situations like this my bollards grow huge and I stand my ground unless I honestly believe that I am going to get my head caved in.... and believe me, I worked on the doors so I know they ARE out there.

Two choices, take the stand.... Literally OR take the money a F*** them off. The only problem with the latter is your reputation is most definitely at risk.

This is where I believe judging a book by it's cover is most important. At the end of the day every tradesperson should be looking for quality customers just like they are SUPPOSEDLY looking for a quality tradesperson

I had exactly this situation when I was fitting a bathroom suite.

I walked away & left them with the bath, basin & WC fitted, but no water connected to any of them.

As I was leaving, the woman of the house asked me if I could recommend another plumber to finish the job !!!
