Will not pay bills
Had supplied Tony in Cobbler2U with shoe repair supplies and accessories. When he moved premises to Tramore some big orders were placed and delivered. Historically payments were always slow but had eventually been paid but after this move they got slower and excuses and promises started. He then messaged that he was returning some goods which was strange as he was in possession of them for up to two years. They arrived and as feared majority of them were not in good condition, nonetheless I issued a credit note with the understanding if continuing business could recoup losses over time. Still no settlement of account received and then more returns arrived ( again in poor condition ) with demands for full value credit. No explanations received and no phone calls answered. Then from Google searches I find he is in fact closing his shop so it all added up. This is not normal business practice and quite underhand with amount still owing.
Just want to let other potential suppliers know.
