How DeadBeats1.net was Started
Deadbeats1.net had very humble beginnings. It had been started by contractors on a job site one day. The subject of credit and collections came up during lunch and we began talking about customers who owed us money. The conversation was generic at first, not mentioning any company or customer names. It was interesting that a number of these stories sounded quite similar. When a business name was finally mentioned, three people at the table chimed in at once "They owe us money too." We soon discovered that we had in common a small group of customers who owed the majority of the debt to those of us sitting at the table. Certain customers were jumping from business to business and simply not paying for goods and/or services. Knowing about these customers before doing business with them would have allowed us to alter our terms and require payment in advance.
If you have acted in good faith, provided quality goods and/or services and have tried everything to collect what you are due, then it is time to list your deadbeat with Deadbeats1.net and let others know that this customer does not pay its bills. Your deadbeat will get the hint when other suppliers of goods and services start requesting cash up front to do business with them. Many times, these deadbeats will markedly improve their payment performance just to get their name cleared from this database.
Deadbeats1.net is a business-to-business service for business debt listings only. Listing of personal debts is not permitted and any personal debt listings will be removed. Please remember that you, the users make this site work. Be fair and remember that individual users are responsible for everything entered into their listings.
We hope that you find Deadbeats1.net as useful as we have.
Every businessperson knows of or has dealt with customers who simply refuse to pay after products or services were provided in good faith. It is just the way some people conduct business - by not paying their bills. They try to get out of paying or delay payment until you send the debt off for collections, give up or write it off as bad debt. Either way, they win and you lose. It costs you money and they avoid paying.
This web site was created as a way for you to fight back, get paid and put a stop to Customers and businesses that do not pay their bills. You can do something to stop these customers and businesses from taking advantage of others. Notify other Contractors of your deadbeats so that they can also avoid them or alter their payment plans and terms.
Most small to medium sized businesses do not use credit-checking agencies before doing business with potential customers. The expense of these credit services can sometimes exceed the profits from the goods or services sold. At a minimum, credit checks can take a big bite out of your profits and still not ensure that you will get paid. Many of the businesses that deadbeats stiff are small businesses, which do not typically notify credit reporting agencies, therefore these debts often go unreported. Deadbeats1.net fills this gap and creates a place for small to medium sized businesses to report their non-paying customers.
This site was created to list customers that don't pay their bills in hopes that other businesses will not be ripped off.
There are also those businesses and customers that have a slow pay policy or those who simply don't pay their bills until the collection agents are knocking on their door.
There are those customers and businesses that prey on smaller businesses because they know that their debt will not be reported to the larger credit agencies or they do not have the financial resources to collect on smaller debts. Report these customers and businesses so others can avoid the same mistakes.
Contained in this site is a database of customers that you may be at an increased risk of not getting paid if you do business with them.
This site is also a listing service that can help you to get paid faster. No one wants their business listed on this site. By listing your deadbeats, you have an increased chance of getting paid faster.
