I am an independent contractor as a builders cleaner, i have been working with one particular builder for over a year now and they are notorious for my crew arriving on site and not being able to complete the job so i have to send them home. I recently started invoicing them call out fees as its happening too often but they are refusing to pay them. I have photo evidence of why we arent able to clean them but they are not accepting it and have only paid 2 fees and refuse to pay the rest (4 more call out fees)
I should preface this and say i have mentioned to the previous supervisors we will be charging a call out fee and sent them an email about it call our fees implemented however they never responded, only paying two call out fees.

Need help to ensure they pay.

Thanks!

Treat it the same as any other unpaid business debt.
