Costumer cancel contract after 2 months, 10 points for best answer!!!!!? -

My Mom and Dad own a small plumbing company ,they have a costumer that approved and signed work that needs to be done for a restaurant,he gave a deposit that way my dad can purchase material after everything was agreed (he changed his mind many times of what he wants) 2months later he decided he didn t want any work to be done and he wants his money back (the deposit to be returned) which is ok we told him we have to deduct about 5% because my dad already purchased material and he took time to travel to his location several times,The customer is now harassing over the phone and he wrote harassing letters we explain him we will take care of it ,but he wants the full amount back after he back up from a contract what can my mom and dad do?

All you have to do is what the contract says in terms of cancellation of contract. If the contract does not have any terms on how to handle a cancelled contract, you have to give all the money back. Next time, create a more detailed contract.

A costumer is one who makes costumes. A CUSTOMER is what you mean here. If he signed a contract tell him to get bent as far as refunds go.

How will I know that the consultant who process my papers are legal? -

Having read through your previous questions I just try to be perfectly frank.Forget about all these consultants and all these e-mails which tell that they are able to arrange for thousands of blue collar workers jobs in Europe.Those are simply scammers who just want your best - your money.No European company would do job hunting on the internet and would go through the burden to sponsor non-EU working permits if the workforce of the EU suffices their needs, which it for sure does at the present economical situation.Typical scammers:? they offer you jobs by e-mail ? they have e-mail addresses like yahoo, webmail etc. (realistic offers would have their own website with an e-mail address based on their provider)? the telephone number in the UK starts with (00)+44-70. these numbers are call forward service numbers; the actual number is usually in Nigeria.. Regular working permit procedures are done different; the European company would have to request permission through its national labour office to instate a non-EU citizen and thus provide proof that the position could not be filled by the European workforce. After having obtained the working permit the company would send you the approved documentation so that you may apply for a visa through the Embassy of the country. Now ask yourself, which company would instate a completely unknown person just based on e-mail/phone contact? These are dreams that don t work in reality, especially not nowadays..

How do I get back at a client who did not pay for freelance work? -

I ve been working as an online freelancer for quite some time, and I ve been working for a certain client who has always been quite late on payments. We ve gotten along pretty well over the past months, but now she owes me $45 for a couple of articles I wrote. I ve been sending her messages, IMs, but all to no avail. She will not respond to questions I ve sent about when she will be sending payment. I am in the Philippines and she is in the US. Is there any legal action I can take despite the distance and the work situation I am in? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I m a writer and can appreciate your vexation. I m going to suggest you forget this client. She s used your service repeatedly so we know she likes your work. $45 is a very small amount of money in the US. If she won t pay you, either she s fallen on hard times (terribly hard, at that) or that in combination with the realization that she won t be consulting with you ever again.There is no way for you to take legal action as no legal authority would ever take your case, knowing there s no dollar-denominated compensation possible.My advice? Be as angry as you like! Know that I, for one, can appreciate the unfairness of it all. However, it would be a great idea if you were to cut your losses as we say and not let yourself be consumed by anger or hurt. And I hope you ll consider dropping her a line in which you acknowledge that she is probably under pressure financially. Tell her you await her payment for services rendered and look forward to doing more work for her in the future.Your way is to breed resentment and burn bridges. Mine is to preserve the good in your relationship as it may foster other opportunities. It is also important that you respect yourself...something that happens when we turn the other cheek and reach for tolerance and understanding. You don t walk in her shoes but it s quite possible you woulodn t want to, either.Len

Sorry I doubt if there is any recourse or legal way you can collect bec there was no written contract or agreement plus court costs would far exceed $45. Basically we all learn from our mistakes and good deeds of trusting others where your sad experience shows you can no longer trust your client so that if they contact you for additional work in the future, then you need to hold your ground and demand advance payment based on delinquency. Then again since you are in the Phillippines with little or no recurring clients, basically clients offering ca$h puts you at a disadvantage bec Cas$h is King and Ca$h has leverage.Hopefully I did not confuse you and Bless of Luck!

Stanch your bleeding, and write her a im explaining that her slowness has caused you to change your business practices, and that you ll no longer be doing work for her. Then go after some other stuff!
