How many of you business owners have had trouble collecting for work you have done. We did some spraying and mowing for a guy at the end of last summer and have yet to collect the bill of around $4,000. I have only been able to reach him one time and he told me I would have my money in 10 days. I have left a dozen messages on his phone and sent an invoice every month. I have stated that if their is a problem to please let me know and that I would work with him. After months of no response I feel the only thing left to do is see my attorney. I don't really want to do this, but what else is left. We agreed on the price and he told me he was well satisfied with the work. We always make sure the the customer is happy or we will fix it. We resprayed 20 acres last year at our own expense to keep a customer happy and had that been the problem here we would have done the same. I am thinking we may have to start collecting before the we do the work but I don't like that idea either. I don't like to pay for a service I have yet to recieve so I have a problem doing that to someone else.
