I have only had to do this once, (now that is) on one customer. They then get charged for the small claims court fees etc as well.
Usually the first reminder is enough to make them pay up.
Didn't know if this was legal or not until I had problems with a solicitor paying up. He did pay up and paid the reminder fee as well so I assume it must be legal

The landlord in question does not live local to me (its a bit of a long story)
i did a couple of LGSCs and posted them to her,along with an invoice upon her request and,have not had a cheque returned,i just wondered if i could call her and say i would cancel the certificate if payment was not recieved.
Sorry Gas but how to get the cash aint what he was asking

I know but thought this advice may help him get his money though, which is the main point of doing a job
