A few weeks ago I met with a lovely lady who runs a cleaning company.
I told her how much I've been struggling to keep on top of things recently and showed her round. She was great.
She agreed to do an initial deep clean 4-5 hours. Then a fortnightly clean of three hours. £25 an hour. Brilliant!
She came whilst I was at work as planned.
She did a great job and I messaged her to thank her.
However, bill arrived. £25 per hour x3 (apparently there were three cleaners there) so actually charged me £75 per hour = £375!
She absolutely 100% did not say this when we met.
I messaged her immediately and asked to have a conversation as I was very shocked at total charged. I said that it wasn't was was discussed and I was unhappy at being charged this amount.
No reply. I've messaged her four times now and she's completely ignored me. This is now almost two weeks on.
What do I do?

I was ghosted by a gardener and never got to pay him; I have no idea why he didn’t get back to me: I left it in the end.

Don't pay, that's for sure! Did she have your key?

LittleRedRidingHoody · 06/12/2024 21:09

Didn't we already have this post earlier today/yesterday?

Wondering why you've started a second thread? I read this same post this morning.

You don't have to do anything since she's not responding. If she does contact you, explain again that you were expecting one cleaner at £25 an hour, so will pay £25 an hour for 4-5 hours so £100-125

Did you give her a key? Could she have made a copy?

You posted this last night. You had a unanimous response, with every single reply saying the same thing. You ghosted the thread yourself by not replying. Why start another identical one?

menopausalburnout · 06/12/2024 21:23

I did post yesterday, but the thread disappeared and I didn't get any notifications!
I thought it hadn't actually posted.
I've done a search and can't find it.
My phone has done an update...maybe that!
It's been a week and a half.

Here's you thread @menopausalburnout

3 hours x 3 cleaners? Do you live in Buckingham Palace?

menopausalburnout · 06/12/2024 22:20

I wish! Small 4 bed detached. Two doubles and two singles.
Very bizarre behaviour!
Have just paid what I originally agreed.
Let's see if she ever replies!
Thanks for helping me feel I'm not unreasonable!
