This causes headache to the businessmen as the very loyal customers tend to refuse to pay their debts on time ditching the business into bad debts. How can this be fixed?

The only way is to avoid such scenario is to diplomatically refuse give your products on credit basis. Though, it is quite difficult to maintain such stand but for the safety of your business, it is necessary.

All these filing of formal complaints works in the western world. In Nigeria, the debtor would frustrate you. Just enter his/ her house or business place with boys and tell him/ her you want your money right away,

That depends on the amount of the debt. If it's a small amount, some businesses just write it off as bad debt. It that involves a lot of money, filing of formal complaint is necessary.

The last resort is to take legal action but not many people go for it unless the amount involved is high
For small shop like mine, if my customers did it, the only thing i can do it waiting and asking them regularly. Take legal action is not an option here. Because amount of money is not BIG

It is true that some customers who refused to pay which is why it is not always goods to sell on credit to customers so that it will not bring your business down.

This is one of the reason why I find it very difficult to sell any of my business product and services on credit to any customer and I prefer my business that way because I don't want to have any problem with anyone.

If your clients and customers are not paying debt there is no option left except to go to court to settle the debt. Before you file a court case, you can also report to the police for fraud case

The first thing is to avoid such is to refuse giving your products on credit . Though, it is quite difficult to say but for the safety of your business, it is necessary.

To prevent situations like this, i would rather not give out my services or products for credit. In such a case the only thing you can do is to either take legal actions or simply let go.

For me, I would track you down to your house and get my money. That's because you are putting my business in danger when you owe me for a long time.
