[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 107416, member: 601"] Sounds like you are geting the usual run around from the builder (who you are contracted to) and I doubt you will get any more money from him. As you have no written contract you have 2 options.. 1. Invoice him for the full amount detailing the work that you have done (and that it was agreed verbally), the amounts he has paid you so far and the amount owing. Also add a date that you want the outstanding balance by and that you will be adding late payment charges and statutory interest after that date (remember you have to give fair notice).. also say that after a certain date that you will be pursuing the outstanding balance through the small claims court. 2. Go around heavy handed, demanding payment.. if he won't pay you there and then then demand tools / equipment to the value of the amount...... THIS IS ILLEGAL but as he's a "friend" you may get away with it.. As for any further work for the builders client... tell them that you are owed money for the work that you have carried out and that you'll gladly do work for [B]them[/B] but that [B]they[/B] will have to pay.... also see if they'll pay you some of the outstanding money out of the retention??
