    Bosch Dishwasher Recall

    I'd like to hope i'm now on a list, but I spotted the advert on reed employment site one Friday morning a few months back, and they wanted someone 'on the books' that day so I was probably just first to respond. An agency called Manpower are running it, there is nothing about it on their...

    Do Electricians deal with alot of heights

    I find it damn near impossible to get onto the top tread of steps, unless there is something to grab on to, or going up in to grid ceilings. Its not the height, its poor balance! The absolute worst thing ever is standing on a pallet lifted by forklift.

    Ooops power off

    When I worked for a generator company that looked after a well known supermarket's standby generators, there were often stories (not me thank god) of run testing in the wrong mode, which results in the whole store going off then just the critical coming back on 20 seconds or so later!

    My new Website - input please

    My site has hyperlinks if you click on the niceic and part p images, does Google recognise this, or do you need a proper links page with a list of written links? (if any of that makes sense!)

    What do you drive

    Chasing debts

    No don't do any work any more, he has always been unreliable with money. I think I will write the letters, see what response I get, but pursue through other channels so to speak. Thanks for your help nozspark and sidewinder

    Chasing debts

    Would the best course of action be another invoice stating amount carried over but not specific on dates, plus a letter stating non-payment will result in small claims court and reporting for not informing of company liquidation? Obviously worded a lot better than that!

    Chasing debts

    Ok it must be my terminology, as you can tell its not my strong point! As the original company was ltd, and he now has another, it must be Ltd company was liquidated - he personally has not lost anything.

    Chasing debts

    Would it not be better for me to send an invoice to the registered address than his house, especially if he is not a director? Basically could be a balance carried over, but without specific dates this time?

    Chasing debts

    I'm so slow typing sorry! He's a complete waste of time, when he does answer the phone its 'should be end of next week' or similar. On a side note, he asked me to post the invoice to him with the newer name, but I only found out his house is not the registered company address afterwards.

    Chasing debts

    Sidewinder: Essentially I have 2 debts, one to the original company which is bankrupt and one to the new. It is just him, both companies were/are just variations of his initials. Both are limited companies. CIS was his way round the extra cost of PAYE employment. I never had any letters about...

    Chasing debts

    It wasn't a contract as such, just that he wanted to pay via CIS rather than PAYE; was general day-to-day work rather than just a specific job.

    Chasing debts

    Theorysparky - I have today received copies of CIS payments made by him from HMRC, so at least i'm not now relying on him now to get the self assessment in, though I do owe

    Chasing debts

    Ok being realistic, legally I should expect nothing from work before he went 'bankrupt', but probably 85% of the debt is when I did some extra work for him (I know, I know...). This was between July and August last year, under his new name. All I have for this is an invoice, is that all I need...

    Chasing debts

    I didn't think this would be an option, with it being owed by his previous company? Also, before and after he is a Limited company, this time the registered office is his accountants

    Chasing debts

    Yet another money owed thread sorry... Owed money by previous contractor, I was the subcontractor and worked through CIS. The problem is he bankrupted himself and started again, the money owed was from his previous company, BUT he said to invoice his new company for the amount (which he hasn't...
