| We've had 2 cases of this in the last few years,
the first was about £10 worth of cleaning products with an invoice for £120+ VAt and delivery.
The other was some kind of directory on a CD.
In both cases they had made a sales call, obtained a member of staffs name, nothing was ordered but they used the member of staffs name as a purchase order number.
The invoices were followed up by VERY aggresive credit control and threats of legal action/debt collection.
My accounts dept, just said that an office junior does not have the authority to order any goods (even though it was not an office junior).
When they came back with even more aggresive tactics i told them to Fork off in non uncertain terms.
The threats came to nothing, however on both occassions they were very persistent and i wonder how many invoices for relatively small amounts slip thru the system and are paid, or are just paid because people think its not worth the potential aggravation for small amounts.
These peolpe are just crooks.  |
