He should also provide an appropriate invoice and bank details,The man did the work. He should be paid.
AgreedNo invoice - no payment.
Was there a written quote for the work, and was it on company paper?
Do you actually know that this guy was owner of the company, or just staff?
Did this guy actually do the work?
I don’t subscribe to cash payouts and tax evasion which is what this is.The man did the work. He should be paid.
Certainly not! It is a debt owed to the company and the liquidators should be paid and the money used to discharge the debts of the company. Anything else is fraud.The man did the work. He should be paid.
of course they could and if they are any good they will, i certainly wouldnt be paying this guy cash, id contact the liquidator.Could the liquidator come looking for the money at some point? You could end up being billed twice if you hand over cash.
Outrageous attitude. No wonder honest householders find it hard to find tradesmen to do work, and no wonder they're so often exorbitantly expensive when there's a heavy bad debt risk premium to be covered.My thoughts are, if the guy has nothing to hide, let him go through the courts for the money.
company had ceased trading.
He was asked for a full VAT invoice, still not provided

This is on the verge of becoming harrassment. Keep a written record of every occasion he calls to the door.No paperwork whatsoever provided by the chap but he is rocking up to the house weekly. I am not here when he comes.
In the meantime, I suggest you write to the company's registered office and say that you have not been charged for the work and will pay in full once an invoice is issued.
If the company has been liquidated, you should write to the liquidator.
Hi BrendanThe company must issue an invoice and you must make out a cheque in the name of the company.
No, he has said that he's happy to force this chap to go to court to get his money.To be fair, I think that Nordkapp has made it quite clear that he wants to pay this bill. He just does not want to pay it twice.

You'd be foolish. There's a very good reason why most businesses won't accept cheques from non-repeat customers.Absolutely, I would.
But there is no evidence that he has tried to stiff anyone. Either you or I am misinterpreting him.
