    Small claims court-you can do it online now. Google your local magistrate court and they should have a link.

    Course they might be on holiday.

    Cutting a lawn once a year, I have to do mine once a week.

    Trust your instinct, there will prob be a good reason and I bet you'll get your money in the end. If you don't, put it down to experience and forget it - annoying though it is

    They`re takin the pistachio nut chuck.

    Pop a letter threatening court and see what they do-legally you have to give them 28 days to pay before you mount legal action, but cash is cash. Chalking it up to experience is one thing, but chalk costs money and if you use a lot of it well...........

    I'm not surprised. The trouble is, the only way you get any money is with your own hard work-no one employs you and pays you whether you do a job or not. Its hard work running your own biz, I know, but sometimes people treat you like its a blinking hobby-that or they think you are loaded and can afford to go without payment.

    Its a dog eat dog world out there.

    No point in worrying about the money. But a sprinkling of Sodium Chlorate crystals on their front lawn spelling what they are (don't like to spell it out on this site) will tell the world. I've actually done this, great fun. The grass just dies and no-one knows who has done it.
