Should I charge them for cancelling lol

[Jdsparky]

Elecsa rang me up on an unknown number today to let me know that they couldn't turn up tomorrow and rescheduled for next Wednesday instead, funny ain't it because if I cancelled on them this late in the day them would charge me £290.00 for the privilege.
realistically I could lose two days money myself as jobs may not be able to be rearranged that easily, bit of one rule for one....

Point that out to them and threaten to leave, I would but then again I'm not a very nice person

This has happened to me twice - I mentioned it to the assessor and he said I should have sent them an invoice for the loss of 1/2 days work.

The short answer to your question JD is YES!

I would and if they don't pay threaten them with a small claims court, if they can charge you for missing an appointment then you should be able to chage them for missing an appointment, it works both ways.

Your a business just like them, the more people who have had ther appointments cancelled charged them, the more they think about cancelling appointments or charging people for not being available

I agree.

There should not be one rule for one and another rule for another.

I used to have a few pairs of them. They were cheaper than Wranglers/Levis etc and they were fashionable for about 20 minutes iirc
