Thank you everyone for your advice. We have since taken certain steps to not let this happen again. I refused to walk away, and went to the shop personally to speak to the owner, and left with a check in hand. And guess what, not a sour taste in either one of our mouths. Although, we won't do business with them again they have since referred another business. Who we told must pay at signing of contract.
Our policy all new commercial contracts must pay at signing. All established commercial contracts have 30 - 45 days depending on the company and service type. We are taking on more commercial jobs, and happened this happened earlier in life of our business. It helped us revamp our contracts and the way we handle our commercial clients.
 
Anyway, you all were awesome! Great advice! I was under a lot of stress with that one commercial account, my current place of employment, and planning for Christmas. The feedback was swift and awesome, hints why I'm enjoying this forum so much!

Many third party management companies are net 60 to start.

I have seen a slow move from net 30 customers to paying 40-45 days.
Unfortunately cash is king these days.
It is forcing larger corporations to be more guarded with their money and the effect creeps down into each corner of the economy.
As for not accepting cheques Steamer.
I could not imagine doing business that way.
Paranoia will destroy yah

Thats too bad you got burnt so early in your Career. Live and learn. This can be a cut throat service. I lost a Dentist acct that had 2 locations because they didn't send the money and i called them once a week. Got pd 4 wks later. The Accountant Beoch didn't like me calling once a week so she fired me... Big deal. $600yr acct no big deal...]]> Sat, 15 Oct 2011 02:12:49 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7180&PID=164455&title=commercial-job-not-paying#164455 <![CDATA[Commercial Job Not Paying : how much is it??? kiss it goodbye....I...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7180&PID=164384&title=commercial-job-not-paying#164384 Author: MR.

The Duck gave you some excellant advice. You should use it and move on.If you are priced right your time is worth $100/hr or more. Use it to generate new business. You have not got the skills to get money from these dead beats.]]> Sat, 01 Oct 2011 00:28:53 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7180&PID=164377&title=commercial-job-not-paying#164377 <![CDATA[Commercial Job Not Paying : Turn it over to a collection agency...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7180&PID=164374&title=commercial-job-not-paying#164374 Author: duckcountry

Turn it over to a collection agency when it is 30 days PAST DUE, give the agency permission to sue and then you and your husband need to get back to business.  No emotions involved, you don't want this account back as a customer.  You have waited long enough for your money and collection agencies have the tools and expertise to make quick work of this matter. 

Makes you wonder what happened to their relationship with the last guy.  Or does it?

Seeing as you have sent reminders and given them fair amount of time to pay. I would have to agree that its time for Debt Collection Agency to take over. They will soon pay when they call..I have done it in the past it works well..]]> Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:33:52 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7180&PID=164345&title=commercial-job-not-paying#164345
