3 questions:

1: does your contract have a provision as to what would happen if the payment was not made?

2: does your invoice say words to the effect that payment is required to be made within [14/28] days of the date hereof, or else we reserve the right to suspend services?

3: how many hours of the 400 hours have been completed by Feb, 2005? less or more than half (I assume more than half, but I could be wrong).

Hi Sumitr Man, let me deal with the questions in order;

1 and 2.The contract did not have the provision in writing, but was agreed to verbally.

3.Approximately 320 hrs would have been completed.

Advice needed re: Contract issue

re:rights concerning suspending training

Dear Forum,

Can anyone supply me with quality information concerning an issue of non-payment of an invoice, and my rights to suspending training services until payment is made?

Alternatively, is there any other suggested courses of action that are non-legal, but effective?

Issue;

I currently supply English language training services to a Company in Chonburi province, which began in August 2004, for a total of 400 hrs.

The first and second invoices were paid with no problems or delays, however the current invoice that was due to be paid on 4th January 2005, was presented to the company at the same time as the second invoice at their request, in October 2004.

January 4th came and went without payment or reason, until i enquired if there was a problem.They resonded that they did not want to pay until February 2005.

At no time prior to January 4th was it indicated that they would not pay on the mutually agreed date, which would have been somewhat more acceptable.

We do have a signed,dated and stamped contract for services, with the clause : All tuition charges are to be paid in full (agreed amount) on the agreed date and highlighted.However the payment dates of the invoices was orally agreed.

What courses of action are effective, reasonable and acceptable without requiring the services of legal counsel?

Any quality advice would be gratefully received.

My thanks in advance,

Airborne

Hi again guys, well, did my visa run yesterday at Aranyapratet.was Interesting.

1.Went with a visa tour company that picks up at Asoke, BKK>

2.Price used to be 2200 baht-Include aal fees etc.Now is only 2000 baht but when leaving casino after lunch etc. you now have to show your face at the cambodian visa section prior to departure back to Thai side.

3.Usually you dont need to do this, but have to line up and get stamped back into Thailand.Not this time.

4. basically walked straight past all immigration without waiting , showing money or even holding the passport.Went directly to the bus did not pass GO (or collect $200)

5.The customers of the significant other bus company WERE required to wait for Thai immigration to stamp all passports!!!

I guess someone has taken care of the 'sweetener' already.

Apart from the wait at the Cambodian Immigration was a smooth ride,for all concerned.

Not advertising for anybody by the way,but the Visa tour company issues you an Orange pin on badge.

P.S. did u know that the Immigration officers now get 60% of any overstay fee.my Thai is not brilliant but they were basically having an argument over who was getting what while I waited to be processed! TIT fun all the way in LOS.

Cheers guys

Hi, basically is asking (from a female, hence: ka) How are you, what are you doing, what are you doing tomorroe, want to go to the market? sound like a good idea?

Hi again, I am / have been working here for several years, but always for other people, but after being ripped off too many times by both Thai and farang (50-50) I have begun going it alone so to speak, that way if I screw up : my problem.

part of my reason for enquiring about the Tax ID card, was that on too many occaisions, i was told that "no problem we pay all Tax for you" only to find out later was a crock of......! even by "leading Educational Institutions" TIT.

Thanks again guys ('n' gals)

Doing a 'run' tomorrow to Aran, pay the overstay (serious pain in the ass and wallet) (Som nam na) then will get with it again.

Cheers.

Thanx to all for replies, did not wish to sound like a fresh muppet, as have been here for over 5 years, now in the process of being 100% "legit" as we all know the tide is turning.

Thanks again.

I also saw the advert in the Pattaya mail last week.Sounds good ..............but!

Will be interesting to hear from someone who actually does the run.

Visa Currently expired, will be doing a border run ASAP.

Do they need to see a current Visa in the passport, or is a valid entry stamp enough?

also how much did it cost, and how long is it valid?

Hi all, I have a few questions concerning getting a tax ID card.

1.What is the process, documents that are required to be shown.

2.How much does it cost, usually, and how long does it last, and how long to obtain..

I previously worked for a University in Chonburi that apparently never paid tax for me, as when asked for the Tax ID number, where a bit miffed to say the least.

Any quality assistance would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
