Hi guys,
I need some urgent advice please, if you could spare some time to answer my questions.
I am a trades person, self employed sole-trader. As you can gather work has been very scarce of late but I have been lucky, or so I thought, that I've had one construction company that hires my skill on a regular basis.
To cut a long story short, three months ago I was asked to take on further work by the same company. I accepted and floated the cost of the job myself, completed, invoiced them and awaited payment.
Three months later, numerous phone calls, letters and bounced cheques I still have received no payment.
I basically have had no income for three months and I have no entitlement to social welfare.
My last resort is to call a charity for assistance which I will have to do today because I have no money whatsoever. I cannot pay mortgage or bills.
Yesterday I got a telephone call from the CEO of the company, who owe me money, and he informed me that the revenue have put a stop on their company account while they are under investigation.
He was unable to tell me when or if the available funds they had would become available.
I honestly do not know what do do.
Any suggestions please?
