How Can You Make A Client Pay Their Bills?

going to court is a long and expensive way,

 but if your company has manual workers and a mobile crane, here is one way, after having its written payment notifications ignored by a client, a utility company in Russia came up with an ingenious way of coercing the debtor to pay his dues, it dumped a three-tonne concrete pyramid in front of his luxurious villa,

 Samara Utility Systems, had long been trying to get the unnamed resident of Zubchaninovka village, in Russia’s Samara region, to pay his 50,000 ruble ($810) debt for unpaid water bills, the company had sent him several written notifications, had contacted him by phone, and even sent people to reason with him in person, but to no avail, so management decided to try something new, they commissioned a 3-tonne-heavy, 1.5-meter-tall concrete pyramid, plastered it with shameful slogans and dumped it in front of his home, to serve as a reminder that he had a debt to pay,

 employees of Samara Utility Systems unloaded the “debt pyramid” in front of the debtor’s house last week, under the surprised and confused eyes of the man’s embarrassed family and their neighbors, the heavy reminder featured slogans like “A Debtor Lives Here” and “You Must Pay Your Water Bill” on all four sides which the company hoped would be embarrassing enough to convince the man to finally settle his debt, and guess what? it did, and here is the story in Samara Utility Systems press release, 

the company has over 1.2 billion rubles to collect from its clients, and plans to use the pyramid and other non-standard methods to do so, the Samara utility company on the 10th of this month reported that the debts has been paid and that the pyramid has already moved in front of another’s debtor’s house, they even posted a photo of its new location, and here it is outside the home of another bad debt.
