unpaid EICR, well over 6 months ago.

[scootknew]

hello, going round in circles with this.

long story short carried out and issued EICR(over 6months ago) on a 2 bed flat less than 10 years old.

landlord who i knew for a while has turned sour and isnt paying me( kept saying will speak with accountant bla bla bla.)

anyways ive tried phoning glasgow city council etc to try to void the cert as i dont want to be held reasonable/liable incase of fire or somthings melts whatever. ive also contacted direct line pl insurance but got no where with them.

anyone know which route to take? ive thought of small claims and all that but its not worth it in this case or my time/stress to deal with this anylonger

Use Business Debt Collection & Recovery Solicitors | Thomas Higgins Limited - https://www.thomashiggins.com - the first letter threatening court is £3, this should prompt payment

Do you have all the details for the landlord like home address etc as you will need these I would imagine can’t just send these things to the tenants house to pass on?

Op, honestly don’t understand why you are expending energy “ trying to void” the EICR. Assuming you are happy with the content/accuracy of your report, you are no better or worse off than for any report you have issued.
Simply, the issue is you have not been paid for work you were contracted to do. Issue the appropriate reminder/warning before action letters and raise a Small Debt action if necessary.
Don’t get me wrong, late/no payers p**s me off no end, but focus you’re energy on getting paid would be my advice.

hmm, guess your right not to involve tenant. ill sleep on it and tackle this shitshow tomorrow. thanks for the help

Is it even possible to void a eicr? I thought after issued that’s it kind of like a mot test certificate after been approved can you just undo it just curious

 

[buzzlightyear]

next time any body does any EICR or EIC before you hand over the test certs .do not sign them ,until payment in full .
by sending by email, copy them scan to customer unsigned
payment in full .

Smear dog ---- on his car door handles,

as you are in Scotland £50 paid to the a local enforcer down the local boozer usually revolves these issues.

 

[Frazer]

But if the client just takes the eicr and fakes the signuature or whatever they then have a valid eicr? No one would know it wasn’t signed by whoever done it until something went drastically wrong or whatever so then they would more likely be like I’m not paying? Cash up front always before eic/eicr or its a no go

 

[Frazer]

Just saying this because I’ve heard people fake eicr to sell house or whatever and they have never had comebacks done agree but shows how easily it can be done

I don't do a lot of EICR's because others seem happy to bash them out for £50-£70...instead of emailing an unsigned one most test software or even PDF Printers allow printing of a watermark over each page...could even have something like "SPECIMEN, FULL COPY SENT OF RECEIPT OF CLEARED FUNDS"

How much is the overdue invoice for?

 

[Octopus]

For all you know a cowboy or themselves could alter the wiring etc

Some so called sparks don't even know which certificate to issue....

I'm assuming the landlord instructed you to do the work ......... so you have no reason to involve the tenent.

You should begins the process of chasing after 30 days, progressively getting stronger in your actions until issueing court proceedings after 60 days.

You are in business to earn a living!

Small Claims is easy. It is also why I try and do everything by email.

Only had to take one customer to court. They folded on the morning of the case and paid everything owed. I still went in and was awarded expenses for a full days work!
