To invoice a repairman?

[Shazzabaz]

Hi.

My DH took our car to a local handyman/mechanic who is a friend for some work needed. Basically tyre changes, oil changes, handbrake tightening etc

He kept the car for three days, and then when we returned it he gave us an invoice of £30 to cover "costs".

What "costs"? We supplied the tyres to him!

My husband paid him, but I'm fuming. He originally said he wouldn't charge for his labour, as we have known him for so long.

I have decided I am going to send him an invoice for keeping our car longer than he said he would, to reimburse us for having to get the bus into town when we should have been able to drive.

I know this is petty, but a point needs proving. You can't keep a car longer than you promise, and then invoice for a favour!!!!

I'm wondering if it's petty to invoice for more than £30, just to make a point?

My DH says no, and this will only cause trouble, but I'm not being a doormat for his dishonest mate.

What do you all think?

Nobody is surprised you’re into YouTube.

The words you are looking for are
Thank You.
Hth

Oooooh good one op, get attention with a very unreasonable post, and then turn it into what you really wanted attention on, some weirdo on YouTube talking about promissary notes.

The old bait and switch.

were you one of the people banging on about the Magna Carta during Covid?

Have you been drinking, OP?

Strong 'freeman of the land' vibes from this one.

Vobes, the person who describes himself as "I love dreaming up stories and peppering them with oddball characters"?

Yeah, you've definitely outplayed your hand here Dickie.

I do travel, yes. That's what I need my car for.

I trust you will be filling in a self assessment return for your invoice?

Seriously?

I use my car for my business.

Didn't go for long did you?

Yes

You sound deluded.

If by deluded, you mean awesome, then yes. Thank you very much.

Batshit or troll, I can’t decide.

Then if you invoice him, assuming he pays that goes on your SA or corporate tax return as income, that's the law.

I have not heard promissory notes since I played game of life and were used if you went into debt to buy something as a promise to pay back once you have money - it is a legal instrument of debt mainly and not legal tender!

So Dickie Vobes, is this how you spend your Thursday evenings? Coming up with implausible stories to try to drive traffic to your floundering YouTube channel?

Yup, just thinking that.

You cannot be real😁. What an odious bint. Do you know how much oil costs?

Yes. And I will pay him. With promissory notes

Why are you paying him if you claim he owes you money?

Can you film yourself taking a promissory note to Tesco for the groceries. Would love to watch it

I'm betting the OP doesn't get paid by promissory notes.....

A promissory note?
Give him the fucking money .
