Isn't it amazing that instinct can be so right about someone.

 

The people we bought the shop from seem nice enough. I've always got on with them okay but something deep down found them a bit suspicious. I just kinda brushed that off as me be a distrustful ***** but an interesting thing happened yesterday that made me realize that my gut instinct was right after all.

 

2 payments were made by our customers into the old owners account. Now they've never been super speedy at rectifying this and I've had to ask for confirmation that they even have the payment to start with. So in this instance I asked once and they confirmed that they have only one payment but have closed the account so can't access the details (well I told them the details but obviously that's not enough!) that's all I hear for a couple of days - no payments into account.... okay. They still get their statements sent here which I always open as they are addressed to the proprietor. Seeing as they are open anyway, I look to see, and yes BOTH payments are there. So I ask again, letting them know that I looked (shock horror) at their statements as I had not heard from them. Still no response for another couple of days so I ask if there is any progress.... Bearing in mind one payment has been in their account since the 25/2 and they closed the account on the 11th so they definitely knew it was there.

 

So now in comes the previous owner (husband of the team) all steamed up that they are busy and that I was bugging them ever 2 seconds and that it was only $200 for gods sake (maybe that's not much for him but it is for me!!!!).

 

I guess my instinct was right after all - vindictive nasty little people! Just because they felt I was bugging them by asking (the first time!!!!) they stalled payment and did not reply to e-mails. **** YOU TWO I SAY! My instinct was right about you after all. I wonder when I'm going to learn to trust myself!

What shop?

Yes I agree Nubbly, first instinct is always right, I have always found that and I go by it too.

Nasty people though, not even their money but they would of kept it too if you hadn't of annoyed them.
