That's really sad, I can't imagine how frustrating that must have been. Sometimes the law is just not fair at all x
Client did a bunk!

That's awful.....people are so brazen these days.
I few years ago I had a seemingly nice new client pay by a cheque for her colour, cut and finish....only she said it wasn't hers but her sons cheque and he was treating her for her birthday (pretty believable story), she didn't have his card number to write on the back but had written his full address and we had a fully completed client record card from her with all of her contact details so I wasn't concerned. I was shocked a couple of weeks later to get a letter from the bank saying it had bounced and I was being charged for it to be retried..... Bounced again. Meanwhile I tried contacting the client by phone, not getting through, so I wrote her a formal letter asking her to settle the bill ASAP, no reply so I resent a stern letter by recorded post....nothing. I ended up being charged a fortune by the bank as well as being out of pocket for the hairdo and postage fees. Lesson learned, don't take cheques and no matter how nice a new client seems, don't trust every word they say until the money is in our account!!!

I seem someone who done similar in a pizza shop. Ordered 3/4 pizzas, one was handed over and the rest were being boxed and they done a runner. Joke was on them... They had already paid and was too drunk to remember.
I even got a free slice while waiting for minexoxo
Lol!! X
