They are tight wads around here. any more and they start fitting themselves ! Then you get phone calls asking for advice on what to do with this part and that etc !

If it is true it cannot be defamatory!

DP laws are another matter. OP should pay the small fee to hold data and as long as it's truthful he can do with it as he pleases, within the law of course!

Not exactly what he pleases.....he can use it only for the intention it was collected. In this case, to keep a track or who his customers are and who he needs to chase for payment. He doesn't need to pay anything to hold the data. I wouldn't put the list up OP. It may just come across as unprofessional.

Good luck getting your money. I once agreed to do some wedding invitations for a friend of a friend and did and paid for the order for the cardstock etc, started making them and then when I tried to contact them they refused to take my calls, denied ordering despite my having a letter from them and eventually disappeared. I never got any money from them at all Didn't know to go through the small claims at the time so just absorbed the loss.

Some people are scum.

Not all customers are bad I always believe in paying what is agreed and promptly usually cash or cheque that day when job done

I have had several tradesman to house last year. One gas fitter two visits to fix a problem with boiler. Paid him cheque a few days after he went delivered it to his house, he said dont pay for a week or two in case problems arose, I did this twice.

Had a plaster fitted job around him, paid cash when job done and even helped him.

Electrician again fitted job around him came said time as plaster more or less, paid him a lot for a days work he couldn't compete job because of plasterer, he was very off regarding security lights I had bought said they were crap I paid £60 each these were not cheap lights, fitting 4 halogen bulbs 3 popped in less than a week, two that day, shouldn't have touched the bulbs by hand

Never came back to finish job despite reminding him had to do job myself, fitting a florescent light myself in end.

I run a Guest House and for a while relied on goodwill from customers who would book and assure me they will turn up so I didn't ask for a deposit. Lesson learnt after a few months when they failed to turn up .
