Hi I don't know what to do.

my BF used to work for the begging bowl. they still owe him money because of a mistake they did in sending him his p60 without paying his last shifts.


the boss James Younger was pretty intimidating over the email, telling stuff like 'come see me at the Palmerston' (he owns both Palmerston and Begging Bowl)


The amount he owes my bf is not big but it is still important to us, this guy is really a bad person and it makes me feel very bad to know that he can treat someone who's always been there when they needed staff... my boyfriend was always on call after he quitted because it was convenient to both of us for extra money obviously for him and staff for them...


but now it's been a year. first, the guy said he doesn't want to pay him, he wants an invoice so my bf did an invoice (registered with HMRC for that) so we had to wait for the UTR number...

we sent the invoice Jamie said, I need the UTR number on the invoice. (which is not mandatory) so we had to wait to get that number.


we sent it to him and then he never paid...


Basically, what would you do? I really feel annoyed by it, and I can't let go because it is really unfair. Since we've been to the UK many things like this have happened to me and now it's happened to my bf it really makes me angry.

Why would you need to invoice for work done as an employee, let alone give them your UTR? Doesn't make sense to me.


Speak to an employment lawyer. It needn't cost you anything as the first consultation should be free and should lead to them telling you whether they think you have a case and on what grounds.


Alternatively, make a nice sign saying what's happened and sit politely outside their door till it's resolved.


Oh, and as it's been a year you should charge them ibteresy and any costs you've incurred as a result of it.

If someone owes you money, you can take them to court. (It used to be called the Small Claims Court). The application is usually made online; it's quite simple, inexpensive and doesn't generally need a lawyer. You could also speak to Citizens Advice first.


Details of the court procedure here:

Lots of firms leave it until as late as possible to pay bills these days. it's a horrible way to manage and you end suddenly getting things cut off. The management know they owe money but leave it as late as possible to pay.


Solicitors letter would be next .. but you probably can't afford that - I'd try and go down the free advice route to start as above.

Publically all I will say is that Jamie Younger is a vile, rude piece of work who does not deserve the success he?s had.


Let?s just say your boyfriend is not the first person I?ve heard of this happening to - not by a long way. I?ve known several waiters from Begging Bowl who all tell tales of it being a crap place to work.


Hey Jaime, if you?re reading this, are you still shouting at elderly ladies in your dining room?


Don?t back down. Jaime is a nasty piece of work who thinks he can intimidate his way out of any situation.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
