Have you put anything in writing to the vineyard? Worth a try? Cover all bases before going in all guns blazing...?
And...do you have a copy of the original invoice to them, complete with ToT conditions that you can send with this...?

Not sure how you'd stand if they are declared insolvent, ie whether you would be a creditor who would be far enough up the chain to get the crumbs once the receiver steps in or would miss out...?
Just a thought, anyway...a lot of dosh to lose, what a blow

Taking wine in payment is a possibility but the state of the wine market [tigger;354747 wrote: Just thinking laterally...is their wine any good? And if you took wine in trade, could you offload it/sell it/trade it for something else that might be useful? Not as good as cash but at least you would get something, if you really do think they are going under...

generally good practice is to get a new client to sign a form to state that they have read and understood the terms..
Baycorp.. can be a bloody nuisance.. but they do get results as any debt collection is logged against the debtor on credit checks etc. .. they take a % of the recovered debt.. so at least you get something back, not a complete writeoff..
if you havent already, advise them in writing that they have 7 days to pay or you will put in hands of debt collector.. also advise that interest on overdue amount and collection costs are recoverable.
if you think they are about to go belly up, then at least the receivers will have a lodged claim thru the baycorp.. ( for what that is worth ).. have you checked the companies office to check the state of the company? have they filed an annual return recently.. you can also get the owners names and address's and their accountants as well from there..
this is not the last resort either.. there is small claims court and a winding up order to go.. so definately, if you are not having any joy.. get them to Baycorp..
give as much info to baycorp as you have.. document everything .. the less time they spend faffing around looking for facts and figures the sooner they can get collecting.
good luck

the 318 needs to be drawn up by a solicitor ( i believe ).. for a 1k debt, it wouldnt be worth it...
for small claims court, the creditor needs to show they have tried all possible routes to collect.. so baycorp is the 2nd step there.

My dealings with Baycorp has not been good.
Getting debts collected required me to push them to act every step of the way. In the end I rang the debtor and got the money myself, still had to pay their fee though [

There are plenty of collectors out there.
My advice, get all your paperwork straight and move FAST.
Not a bad idea if the wine is good enough and you can seell it on [

There are no bad questions only those that are not asked.

i have a couple of debts with them.. and while they are being paid in dribs and drabs.. at least it is happening
but like all business dealing.. keep on it.. no point assuming things are happening without prompting.. a weekly chase up is worth it to recover outstanding monies..again just my thoughts

Done
re the ToT.. is there anything on your invoice that says " subject to our terms of trade"..any notice on the invoice stating may be charged overdue interest?..if so, then regardless of the Tot being 'lost' by accepting delivery of goods they accept the terms..
Unfortunately not. Will add it to our invoice template right now!

All other customers have signed it - these turkeys just didn't return it

Have sent invoice today after conversation noting interest to date

Done that but last return filed was year ended 30 June 2009. One director local, he's who I have been talking to. Have name of their accountant

I sort of meant swapsies...for something useful...[
