you not on your own mate, alot of people are struggling to trade on 30 days credit at the moment!


chasmon - 10/7/09 at 09:58 PM

Sorry to hear about your money troubles mate. Credit crunch has hit a lot of us in one way or another. (I'm on 20% reduced salary but full time still).

What business is it you are in? Can you reclaim any of the materials etc as surely technically they're not paid for yet...

Prawnabie your comment just reminded me to pay my overdue builders merchants bill in the morning...

i kind of know how you feel. i am not in trouble with a bank but 3/4 of the way through the mnr build i ran out of money and had to use the money i had saved up to move house this year. i think i am going to be forced to sell,which is not what i want! sorry about your situation by the way

It's a crap time for sure, but we are just starting to see signs it's turning around. Best advice (i know you wre not asking) for now is cut costs and keep kissing frog's (our sales guy's term for bidding)


eccsmk - 10/7/09 at 10:03 PM

im a plumber not corgi/gas safe registered
but stick to domestic plumbing of bathrooms etc.

the banks took all that was/wasnt left
there were three of us out of pocket on the first job

and 5 of us on the second

has anyone got a spare seat going (passenger) for a forthcoming trackday ?

Hi, sorry to hear all this, don’t muck around, I met the following person at my once a week BNI meeting this morning and he seemed a no nonsense get things done person. Ring him tell him the problem and I believe he will help. Don’t not do it, you have nothing to loose, help yourself, no one else will. Good luck

Dear all

Once again, thank you for your warm welcome this morning at your BNI chapter. I found the experience both informative and enjoyable and have clearly met some very committed business people which was refreshing.

In my exitement to leave the house early this morning I grabbed my box of spare cards which only have the main debtDr head office details and not my personal contact numbers, please accept my apologies for this and would hope that you will not insist I give my chocolates back. Here is my mobile number which can also be found at the footer of the email.

07865 047013

I also did not get to speak with everyone this morning so if you want to hear more about the service that I provide then please call me, I would be happy to set aside some time to speak with you.



Regards,
Nigel Brown

It's across the board. We now have customers demanding 90 day terms on a take it or leave it basis and suppliers wanting pre-payment or, at best, 14 day terms. Not easy!


richardh - 11/7/09 at 10:54 AM

its getting worse i think.
I'm an IT project manager and the amount of stuff on hold, cancelled, no budget, etc has killed folks like me.

I've been jobless for 3 months now (although did turn one down in Leeds due to family).

So many other PM's also out of work.

All the signs look like we've got another 12-18 months like this and even worse.

Sorry for the doom and gloom but i feel better for sharing
