shop owners: how do you deal with a deadbeat owner

yea no the customer did ...had his stuff for a wile they were paided up so i felt bad for his old lady and stored the stuff free till she could come get it i had it for about 1 year ..

 

I own my own Business. For 1st time clients that have zero payment history, they pay 100% up front for small projects. For large projects, they pay 50% up front.

Retainers are the way to go, and never let them get behind on the retainer amount.

 

sorry

was resonding to another thread when my computer shut down.

saw that one, and didnt notice the date of the last response.......aint the 1st time i've ****ed up, sure it wont be the last

 

Here we have to send a certified letter ,wait 30 days,send a sheriff to contact,wait 30 days,it is easier if the "customer/deadbeat" signs a repair order stating authorization to perform the agrred upon work and have statement with mechanics lien and storage after 30 days inactivity/completion
good luck - i hope it works out for you either way
