Taxi Driver Online

All this would only apply if the companies haven't already paid FE. If they can show they've paid their bills I don't think anybody has a leg to stand on as the contracts are with FE and not taxi drivers

not quite so, it is possible to place an order on the monies outstanding

its almost like a right of title where goods havent been paid for

far better is strong credit control in the first place

If they are monies outstanding then they haven't already been paid have they. I did say if they had already been paid they wouldn't have a leg to stand on

how long do you wait before taking action

I'm absolutely sick to my back teeth of late payers. even the shocking lack of communication beggars belief. it seems communication is just a one one strret. they want you to communicate with them on pick, on route and delivery but havent got the decency to let you know if there is a problem or when you can recieve what your owed.i've undertaken many jobs on here in good faith and never let any-one down as i think the companis i've covered jobs for will vouch.. i've e-mailed a company 4 times over the past 3\4 weeks for a payment they owe. tried ringing but couldnt get through. send a text in the hope of a response but to no avail. i've looked at the companies payment history and another o\d has had to wait 6 weeks but other seemingly bigger companies have given better feedback?

i,m owe £6,674 by five different companies, half the companies on this site i have never hared off ,you don,t know how they are or if they are going to pay you you cannot rely on this site no more everyone is running at a lost and not admitting to it . i started as a courier in London on a 250 honda dream in 1972 one of the original pony express gone from van to lorry,s ,franchise to owe,er company and now bank to o/d and just going back to lorry,s. so i thank now there are too many chancing there arm at it and that is why there is too much undercutting if you can,t pay the bloke which has done the job in thirty days don,t do the business,its just a sham its gone this way

I apreciate that you have blocked our job alerts, but there are still plenty of people that are working with us, because we do have work, but when we arent getting paid by our customers the flow of cash becomes harder and harder, which i hope you can understand. That has all been resolved and things are getting back to normal. Its not nice being pulled down which we have, especially after we have been on here longer than most, and give alot of work to people, then the moment you hit a slight sticky patch, you become slated.No one remembers all the ontime payments and thousands of pounds we have passed the way of members. I reacted in the wrong way, and my reaction was perseived the wrong way.

The question is, if a base grants the likes of FE credit, then sends a circuit car (owner driver) to do the work, who takes the hit?, the owner doing the job, or does the base payout and stand the blow (probably raising radio rents to cover it...)

Not your concern as an employee, all you have to do is prove to the DSS that stoppages were made, to continue your entitlement to any benefits and eventually pension, HMRC are well able to fight thier own corner

as for FE debts to any subcontractor, well, as they say....

Thats business...........

(just consider it as the biggest fecking runner of all time.......)

May be the rules have changed, this was in the early 80s.

a certain german logistics company split its operation into 3, shunted money about, and 12 months on, crashed one arm of it, which by then owed millions but had nothing

i know one subby was owed £150K

oddly he stayed and worked on for the surviving sections, as was said, he had had 16 years work at £400-650K a year, and a deal was struck cos he was needed, dont assume they firms supplying FE havent struck a deal with the phoenix firm...
