Make customers pay!

by Don Sanders, 09/09/2003

From time to time, we have customers who either slow pay, or sometimes don't pay at all. The easiest way to solve the "no pay" problem is by using the Small Claims Court to collect bad debts. In the last ten years, we have filed 29 different cases in our local court and have collected on 26 of them. In fact, in ten of the cases, we were paid as soon as the customer was served by the constable with the papers!

Moral of the story: Stand your ground.
