Best ways to deal with clients who refuse to pay

[eldavis]

For some days now, a friend of mine has been complaining about some customers who have refused to pay up what was left from what they owe her. Though i think the first mistake she made was giving out some of her products even when she has not been paid in full. How can she take her money back?

it wouldn't be a bad idea to give them time to pay up. This is not new debtors hardly want to pay their debts but you need to force or pressure then to pay.

There are different types of customers one type need some logical rude behaviour, as they come and get something and not pay. If you leave them, then they will repeat same practice again. So for your own survival you need to be strict there.

The best thing is to engage a law enforcement agent to help get her money for her. The debtor would be made to sign an undertaking on a scheduled date of payment which he or she must not fail.

customer needs to pay before you give them any services some peaple are greddy and are looking for ways to trick you and make you feel guilty so you need to think clearly

You can send them reminders asking them to pay periodically. In some cases, especially if services are provided the customer may refuse to pay, due to which the business cannot pay the service providers.

The first thing to do is never give a product in advance without getting paid, and choose a customer that you are welling to give products before payment, otherwise its very hard to get payment after you give them the product.

This is saddening and to avoid all these is why I always like to be paid in full even before I give out my product or render any service .
Involving the person's relative if any of them is known is one of the best way to resolve this.

That is the problem if there is no proof. It is best to have pre-appointed evidence before handling the items. In case, there is a signatory from the creditors, you can bring the matter to court.

Some people are just perpetual debtors maybe it will be good not to give a product in advance without getting paid, its very hard to get payment after you give the product out .

 

[HansonU99]

You must be correct it's better you stop giving them product I. Advance of payment,if a customer owd you too much debt then get him arrested if the money is huge then charge him to court if he refused to comply

So l think the best remedy for this is stopping selling in credit and adopt a very strictly no credit policy on your business. This would help for the truth of the matter.

Why do you have to sell when someone is not paying in cash? You can just avoid selling in credits. In case you already have sold on credit and want to get your money back, you can report to police.

Having some stubborn clients can be so frustrating, there are a few things you can do to handle the situation professionally. First, you can try reaching out to the client and asking for a clear explanation of why they're refusing to pay. If that doesn't work, you can send a follow up email or letter that outlines the services you've provided and the terms of your agreement. You can also consider sending a notice of intent to file a claim in small claims court.

Yes that's true, like they say prevention is better than cure. To avoid issues like this, it would be a lot better to not even sell on credit in the first place, cause some persons are just simply heartless when it comes to paying back.

 

[cherry123]

First and foremost if you can do without giving out credit thrn good but if not keep reminding them. to pay.

 

[Stardom22]

The best way to do is to operate on a cash basis and never ever lend

 

[cherry123]

Keep on disturbing them about the pay you just have to know that being cool about it might not work for you

Some of them are not bothered by being disturbed. They only care about force. You might need to use the police to get your money.

If they do refuse, then we need to file a formal legal case against them.
