Most common things we hear from people when they owe money ggrrr
People who owe money often come up with the darnest excuses. Sometimes they’re backed into a corner and cant make the payment, other times they are just being full of nonsense. Nowadays a payment can be made from anywhere and at anytime, so most of the time these are the simplest delay-tactic statements:
- My bookkeeper was supposed to make the payment
- Please resend the invoice
- I thought I paid this, let me check
- I’ve been out of town
- I made the payment but I forgot to release it
- Sorry, we’re making the payment today (repeat and repeat!)
- The guy who signs off payments has been out of the office
Most people appreciate honesty, they’re tired of hearing the same things over and over again.
