Hi
Does anyone know how this works...
We were an approved supplier (electrical contractors) for a "large company". For 14 years we gave them, honestly, great service- never missed a call even some that were in the early hours of the moring (2 am/3 am) and on new years eve.
Most of ther work was maintenance, emergency call outs commercial installs etc.
Anyway - new people came in and getting purchase orders became very difficult and without a P.O. we couldn't invoice.
As we had been with them for 14 good years, always paying on time, we carried on with one last job.
Long story short -
We chased them for P.O.'s for months and then they decided one of my invoices was to high (last job we did) despite us providing them with receipt for all material supplied (we put 2.5% mark up) and clearly itemising material/labour on the invoice for them - and we actually only just broke even on the job.
We continued to ask for P.O.'s for the previously completed work - Emails confirming work was completed and everyone happy with the jobs.
After dozens of calls/emails/whatsapps still no joy
They still owe a fairly large ammount of money (a very large ammount to a one man business) so we handed them over to a "no win, no fee" debt collector which charges 12% of money collected.
They contacted "the large company" with and still no joy and have now sent me a form to fill in and sign, authorising them to black list "the large company"
Anyone know if this is the way to go?
What will black listing them will achieve?
Will it really affect a large company that much?
How does it help me getting paid?
Advice appreciated.
Thanks all
