Credit Control Warrior – Explained

The Warrior !

This is just a quick note to explain what has happened to the “Credit Control Warrior” and the blog post that I had on this personal blog site regarding the very sensitive issue of getting paid by certain debtors.

The Credit Control Warrior is still alive and well but I have been asked to temporarily take the post down as it is the subject of a court case – it turns out that someone who owes us a lot of money seems to identify themselves with one of the characters in the post and was not happy about it.

If you haven’t read the post it was written in a very upset state after someone who owed us a lot of money laughed in my face when I looked for payment after finally tracking him down after a lot of dodging.

I didn’t think it was as funny as he did – upset, yeah …I was!

As always I will continue to write about the “stuff” that motivates, inspires, enthuses and bothers me and share any experiences that I may feel could be useful to anyone reading.

In the meantime thank you for reading!

Grace Under Pressure

Grace Under Pressure

Thank God for the Good Guys!

Many of you will have read the “Credit Control Warrior” piece I wrote having being inspired by the behaviour of a particular businessman, Famous.

Basically, if you read the piece you will have learnt that not only did he not pay his bill but he felt this was quite funny, the joke was on us. He laughed in my face saying “We would never get paid!”

The joke is on all of us who do our best at all times to behave honourably, pay our bills and behave honestly. If you think about it we are all subsidising these guys.

The circumstances of a changed economic climate have worked against many of us but this does not stop the honourable guys still behaving properly even when they just cannot pay. Once a gentleman, always a gentleman.

As long as someone who is under pressure communicates with you, realises that you are out of pocket as a result and will try their best to sort you out I have no issue. Unfortunately we have a few clients who have been caught in the storm and thankfully they have not stopped being good decent people.

I Salute You

I Salute You

This morning I received an email from one such client who has been doing his utmost to sort us out on an unpaid bill. At all times he has been upfront and honest, he always returns calls, he always appreciates that we are out of pocket as a result of his misfortune and he has done his best to give us a few quid whenever it is available.

The email:

“Hope you enjoyed the long weekend.

Just wanted to let you know that I’m transferring €xxxx off the account in the morning – some modest funds came in from the sale of the leasehold but we couldn’t have money come in and not deal with your account.  You’ve been beyond fair and I sincerely want to clear the account faster than we have been up to this point.  This will leave us with a balance of just over €xxxx and I’ll increase the monthly payments on that.

Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding”

This is what I would call Grace Under Pressure.

I salute you.
