Hi folks, am new to site, so could do with some advice on this one.
The company that I am Office Manager with supplied one of our customers , over a period of time, consumable goods to their premises and to building/construction sites where they were doing sub contract work.
The owner of the company I work for, and the customers contracts manager were altering a few invoices which were re submitted, and as a result, both were fined in court and ordered to repay the amounts involved - which they have done.
The customers Managing Director is now refusing to pay for ALL goods that were delivered to their premises and sites stating that the signitures and printed names on the delivery notes did not work for him, but at the time I delivered the goods to their sites. I have approached these people and thay said they did receive goods because they have used them and admitted that they signed for them.
I get the feeling that because of what happened, this MD feels we have no right to legitimate amounts owed, he has even accused us of lifting signitures off delivery notes and faking them, even though these people admitted receipt of goods.
I have started a claim for amounts owing, but all his defence is implying that goods not delivered/del notes faked.
Has anybody come across anything like this before, I certainly havn't.
