A quiet day today and then to top it off a cheque from a customer gets returned and when i call them they say "we are in administration". <br>They owe me £240, i know that isn't a lot but it certainly doesn't help.<br>

The most annoying thing for me is that you know they knew they were goin into admin when they were booking your services.

I know, I called the company who we collected from last week as it is them who will be paying the company we did the job for and let them know what had happened.

The company is still listed on compamies website as active and on [business] credit focus with a good credit rating and it seems as though no one had a clue.

We had a funny call yesterday for a collection of archive boxes.<br><br>The accountancy firm gave me the collection post code and when I looked it up it was their own premises.<br><br>Are you a debt recovery company by any chance?

The thought did cross my mind, Its a different company that called and not the one in administration.<br>

If i were you i'd get my foot in the door with the administrators. From my experience (worked for one for over a year) there is always archiving work to be done when a company goes under.

Administrators can be worse than printers, they treat each job as a charge against each case, I often got the excuse well theres no money in that case to pay you yet eh?

Sorry that was just one administrators, I have others that are spot on
