I had some work done on my house last weekend, and paid the business owner by bank transfer immediately the team had left (business owner was not present). Texted him to let him know that money had left my account, and he said thanks and that he would confirm later.
Five days later, I still don't have confirmation that my money arrived in his account. I've texted and emailed asking for confirmation, and each time been told that he would "check later". I am scratching my head a little over this. Am I being ridiculous to expect to want confirmation that my money hasn't disappeared or gone to the wrong account? Obviously I also want to get my receipt and guarantees, and this can't happen until payment is confirmed.
I have no reason not to trust this company; I was satisfied with the work, they have great reviews on a number of sites and I believe were recommended on here by somebody a few years ago. Just one thing though; the name on the bank account I had to send payment to was not the name of the business or the owner that I had been dealing with. Does that sound normal?
Thanks for any help!
