Mike Andes spent five weeks on a $750 lawn-care job, sent 15 opened emails and made five calls, but the client left a five-star review and still wouldn't pay. He threatened collections instead of retaliating on the property.

She hasn't paid me on a $750 service. She said it was looking good. They even gave me a five star review, but apparently they thought that would be a good substitute for payment. Instead of paying me the $750. Spent about a month and a week. Sent her about 15 emails, all of which she has opened on our software. It'll be able to tell us if she opened it or not. And she did. We called her five times in the last week and a half. I called her today and she actually answered. She just kind of listened. She didn't say anything. I don't know if she meant to answer. I'm gonna bother you until payment. If I don't get the payment, then I'm sorry, I'll have to send you to collections, which will destroy your credit.
No answer. Who would have guessed? There's your note.
Trying to be as nice as I possibly can, you guys okay? I could have left 20 yards of mulch in their driveway so they couldn't get in the garage, but I decided to do this instead.
