A company owes me about 3.5k since February. Got plenty of emails off them, to use as evidence, that it's not a case of won't paying, but they simply can't pay.
I've had a titfull now tho. The way I look at it , if they can't pay genuinely, then I don't care if they get a ccj or not.
Anyone used the courts before? Can I step up on high court and get he bailiffs in

The Thomas Higgins letter will cost you £3 and that normally gets the money paid
Don't blame you for being narked. I don't know the legals here but hope you can get some of your money back. Maybe worth protecting yourself in future and asking for say half the money upfront to at least cover off your expenses on jobs. The small claims court can be a bit of a lottery but it's probably the best and least expensive route to take.

sound advice from Negan there, what gives people the right to have work done and materials/parts paid for if they can`t afford it.
You need to shut that shit down. No exceptions.
The Thomas Higgins letter worked for me with a non-paying client a couple of years ago.
It's no laughing matter. I've just been through something similar. A company I had done work for are now on the bones of their arse. They were due to pay me in June and eventually paid me this month after I served a winding up notice on them. That spurred them in to action and they eventually paid me, after much grief.
Disgraceful. Poor sods. No wonder they didn't want to pay.
What is disgraceful?
The fact that their business was piss poor is what is disgraceful.
It's an awful situation, small claims can take a long time and as has been said is a bit of a lottery. I always take a 50 percent deposit on big jobs so at least it's only mostly my time they stitch me for. It's theft pure and simple.
Thanks guys. I'll get the £3 letter on the go.
After that letter if it does not do any good, threaten them with a winding up order, bankruptcy, that will surely panic them into paying they will then get the money from somewhere
Send your letter, if that doesn't work, take them to court, if they still won't pay, get the sheriffs in. They have more power than bailiffs.
