Did you get paid?

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."

The message from him.
