You can never be sure,  credit card could be declined, cheque could bounce, cash could be phony  what's a hard working man to do.  Oh ya I forgot.........that's business.

I don't extend credit to anyone any more...especially a motel or resturant...they always collect as soon as their customers are finished...and that's what I expect from them...

I've only had one commercial customer so far.  But I got 50% UP FRONT, and 50% AT JOB END!  It was a hotel and they were cool with that.

All these things can happen.  And, yes in business you're gonna get write offs.  At some point you do have to suck it up and cut your losses.

BUT I have to say that at least getting the card up front tends to eliminate the guys that had no intent to pay in the first place which is what this yahoo sounds like.  Guys like this don't even have credit so they have to tell you "I don't have a credit card".  This sends me a clear message to get cash up front or don't clean.  In the end, all this achieves is another way to TRY to get paid.
