Is there a simple inexpensive way to blacklist these kind of people?

i am going to be honest with you
phone around the last guy i worked
with did to the blacklisting it is a
bloody state secret on how they do
it

but i ended up making the calls and
did the rest he was useless if you
find someone that is not a total
waste of time please share

but most of them can do a
blacklisting relatively easily for a
few hundred rand last time i did it
it cost me R750 but i am told by my
wife they might be up in price now

but they dont tell you how to do it
i guess it is where there money is
made

I had to restrain myself from inflicting some serious bodily harm to the %^$%& on Friday.

When i indicated to him that i would be dropping off my staff at his home in the afternoon so that he could pay their wages. His response - " What has me not paying you in December have to do with you not being able to pay your wages today"

He cant understand why I dont have a enough funds in my account to carry him and everyone else who decides not to pay me on time.

I knew someone who provided Dental equipment. The dentist owed him around R35,000 and kept promising he could "pick up the cheque".

In the end he paid a FILTHY beggar, with SEVERE B O to walk in when the cheque was "next ready", with a packet if hot chips soaked in vinegar, to ask for the cheque. For the umpteenth time it was not ready.

So, the beggar sat down in the waiting room, and started to eat. The scent of the chips and the beggar were somewhat "heavy".

They asked him what he was doing - he replied that he had been told not to leave until he had the cheque. Polite, friendly, not aggressive.

20 minujtes later he had his cheque. Cost him R250.

unfortunately i cannot tell you
to maybe get a big guy and
pay him to rearrange mister
%^$%& teeth that would be
irresponsible and illegal

i also cannot tell you to get a
air gun and shoot out a few
bmw headlights because it is
totally illegal and totally
irresponsible and you can get
into a heap of trouble

unfortunately your only option
is to get this guy blacklisted
and do a proper job at that
also a legal letter would be
nice

I am finding social media is the best way to get a reaction, especial with companies. It seems twitter is the fastest.

Did you get paid?

[ians]

Not yet...i havent uploaded the story.

[SilverNodashi]

Has anyone had any success stories, where there weren't paid, and reclaimed their equipment from the client?

I would definitely consider the Facebook and Twitter route. Not quite for payment, but I did get a complaint of my own resolved that way pretty fast!

Yeah got the T-shirt here and then some. Reputation is important. Would be great to have a database of reliable people who you can work with - this is what its about. I generally ask my suppliers and people I know about who I can work with and get some background information before getting into a business relationship. But sometimes this is not possible and you get burned.

Agreed. No one wants to see their name being dragged through the mud on social media so it can be an easy way to get a reaction.

Still havent been paid. Could write the first 5 chapters of a book with all the excuses i have heard.

I just feel sorry for the customer who has just paid him a deposit. He tells me now that he cant pay me using this persons deposit because his son is sick again and needs to use the money to send his son to hospital again as he doesnt have medical aid.

He tells me he has just landed a nice project in the salt rock area.

"I will pay from that job that's all I asked. My concern right now is to get work so I can sort out Greg. But as you say u don't give a shit. So let's just leave it and I will pay u the moment the deposit gets into my account. And will do cash at a ATM so u don't pay cash deposit fees."
