[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 347206, member: 6969"] I was doing a job for a self employed mechanic and we got talking about how's business etc and got onto bad debts. He recounted a storey where he did £600 work to someone's car (he works from home in the garage alongside his house) The guy didn't pay. It ended up in court. The guy's defence was "prove you did the work to my car" the judge asked for the proof. All he could provide was the receipts for the parts he had fitted. But that was not Proof that he actually did the work. The case was dismissed and he never got paid. I wonder if this could ever happen to us in our trade? Should we be photographing all our work as proof we actually did it? [/QUOTE]
