    Hi Guys,
    A problem arouse about two weeks ago on a job! I arrived to a call out job and I had to use step ladders on the out side of the house.

    There were two women working on the house cleaning the interior for the client.

    i had an apprentice with me and we packed up and went home, the cleaners had gone before us?

    About 48 hours later I missed the steps valued @ about €70, I phoned the woman of the house and explained my problem, she undertook to call the company and relay my concern. I wanted to believe it was a genuine mistake and they'd be returned to the house in question.

    To cut to the chase I rang them myself and they told me they'd look into it and come back to me!, I have phoned the company again& again and I keep getting the same old story, the boss is away...
    What would you do in these circumstances.? Am I right to pursue this issue?
    What can I do?

    On a more important note.

    Valued at €70 but yours for €40 if you meet tomorrow with cash. Need to be gone as I am erm, eh, moving abroad! Yes that's it.

    Might end up step-dancing while we're up there!
