Hey guys! Pretty important story this one I would like to share with you all- it’s about disputed debts and what you can do to get yourself some money when your customer is adamant they won’t pay- so I was collecting this $12,500 debt today for a software/IT company- ring the customer straight away and am told in no uncertain terms that they are not paying- “If I called you just asking for twelve grand with nothing to show for it Paul would you pay it?” to which I happily said it’s not about me. He claims it was $12,000 worth of help desk support their company didn’t request so I looked through the invoices, of which there were 8, searching for something I could use. And there it was- invoice 274727, $2766 for 6 months web hosting and licensing. “Can’t dispute that champ” I thought. I explained that if he pays that invoice I would seek clarification on the balance, which he did within 20 minutes. Client is delighted, naturally, as they had mentally written it off as their reporting systems for help desk support had in fact been playing up. Guys “I am not paying” doesn’t mean “I am not paying anything”- ask for a goodwill part payment and almost always you will get it. So many business owners see only black or white- full amount or zero. And remember my mantra- any money is always better than no money
Cheers
Part payments- get yourself some money!!!!
