I fail to understand your point? I charge some jobs based on T&M and others I give a flat contract price. If the customer is a jerk, it doesn't matter how you charge, they'll find a way to complain either way.

I have gotten a bunch of wierd calls today, each more squirrley than the last one... its got to be a full moon night.... I am gonna take the phone off the hook before I go to bed...


I would have walked out when they asked me to lie...

then you are trying to deal with a warranty co that really dont want you there inthe first place...


when they tell me its a trailer, I tell them I dont work on mobile homes.....

you are lucky that they got a master card....

but now you got to fight them...

good luck.

Not saying they will but if they paid by credit card they have I think 60 days to contest the charges. I know you have a signed invoice but I think the credit card agreements state the credit card company has the final say so in all matters. Here an example: Cusomer signs and pays that the work was done proper....well a week later the shiot blows apart and they call you.......they claim they couldn't get you on the phone and call another plumber to come out and write them an invoice for the same repair you made.......they submit that to the credit card company as proof. Your toast.
