[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 503605, member: 250"] I cant help feeling there is more to this than we are being told.... :C The costs for PAT'ing two appliances can't be a fat lot of money to warrant any court action? ( Or is there is actually a whole lot more they are disputing ?).. How many customers would actually complain about getting a 'Pass' rather than a 'Fail'? Most would only dispute a 'Fail' when they thought it should 'Pass'? ( Or is it a landlord wanting a formal report to charge a tenant for miss-use of appliances ?) If they are just disputing two appliances as part of a larger job.. I would probably have just knocked the cost of those to items off the overall bill. and asked them to pay the balance.. As the hassle & effort to chase 2x PAT costs would not be worth my time. Also I would never have such long open-ended payment terms.. Cash-Flow is the key to a successful business... Thousands of companies have gone to the wall with full order-books and plenty of work in progress.. BUT negligible cash-flow! Have you already issued written late-payment invoices etc.. with 'signed for' receipts confirming they have received your bill..? As without that, it can complicate any legal claims.. :coffee [/QUOTE]
