Moral Dilemma

[Krooner]

So there is a non leaue club who owe the company I work for money and have bounced a cheque on us. They have failed with many promises and I am in a dilemma. Do I instruct my people to take leagl action or becuse it is the non league family should I just leave it and hope they pay in the end. For a couple of people on here in the know it is not a CCL club. That is another issue entirely !!!!

 

Thoughts ?

[Smudge]

Nothing worse than a Rubber Cheque,just imagine if it was paid to you.Just imagine it was a Refereeing issue,would you report it?

[Farnborough fc manager]

28 day final warning letter giving them final notice to pay or at least come up with an acceptable payment proposal. Otherwise court action or if £750 or more send them a Statutory Demand, that will get them jumping.......

now we all want to know the club

[bomaya]

Clubs avoiding debts at all levels of the game - are bad for the game IMO.

Is it a side that play in yellow ?

Why do companies continue to give football clubs credit???

You've got to be consistent Kroonz.

 

If it wasn't a football club what would you do?

 

And if you're dealing with a company with a known track record of not paying you should insist on payment up front.

I thought cheques were a thing of the past and it was all electronic transfers these days anyway. Can't remember the last time I wrote one out. I'd be immediately suspicious of any company who wanted to pay me with a cheque, especially as guarantee cards don't exist any more and loads of places now refuse to accept them.

It's different with individuals as we have to make allowances for doddering old fools who won't move with the times and insist on wasting everyone's time and effort with cheques but I fear I'm going off topic.....

We didnt EU. Our mistake was taking the prepayment cheque too close and the cheque bouncing after they had received their services.

You need to become a proper accountant Kroonz. No morals thus no chance of a moral dilemma.

Take the Surrey FA route Kroons, contact them over the outstanding debt, Surrey FA should suspend the club from all football, this should make them make the payment.

 

Thats my thoughts on it

[Eastside Urchin]

Krooner,wasn't having a dig at any particular club,just a generalisation.I run a small business and wouldn't dream of giving credit to a football club

[Jeff Hamnett TSF]

problem with a bounced cheque is they had no money in their account, so sueing them probably wont get you paid unless they get some more income from sponsorship. no turnstile money for a while.

 

on an unrelated and entirely different matter a club I have some involvement with are waiting for gate payment from a club you dont have a lot of time for Krooner.

 

 

Should we be worried?

this is the route i would take. but not the way, i think this debter would want you to go. could always send Duncs, and a couple of his henchmen. on another point, good to see the spurs fan posting, i have missed his input.

You'd be surprised how many companies still use cheques to pay their creditors or suppliers. Even some huge companies do. Cheque Guarantee cards still exist in business as well, not that they are ever used.

[Eastside Urchin]

No more cheques from 2018

To be honest,the majority of places simply don't take them anymore

[Smudge]

Surely the County F.A.'s have no jurisdiction over Clubs bouncing cheques.This is surely a Civil Matter?

They can suspend a player if his Club can prove a player owes them money, they can suspend a Club if the Club owes the County FA. Haven't heard of them having any jurisdiction over Clubs that default with other 3rd parties. How would the County FA know that the debt is genuine?

Appreciate that EU. We got the cheque and then delivered the services only for the cheque to be represneted and then bounce. So we didnt really give them credit but we didnt actually get cleared funds. We were too trusting and I advised the people here that they should actually get cleared funds first.

wouldn't happen to be a team based in Hampshire by any chance?
