What would you do?

[Charlie Brown]

Ah ! I think I get it, you were just seeing if any other forum members would be dishonest and overcharge the couple?

Yeah, kind of.

I bet different trades like a builders wouldn't rectify the error if the client is happy to pay it.

Perhaps a sweeping statement but a true one. Especially in Nottingham

Speaking from your vast experience of employing builders in Nottingham, of course!

[DazzyD]

If you're honest with people, they'll think better of you which may just come back to reward you later in life!

By this I mean they are more likely to remember your good deed next time they need a DJ!

[Larry B Entertainment]

Well as you've now published the fact on the internet I'd definitely let them know

In fact I'd do that anyway as I feel it's the right thing to do.

I would second that. Now it is public you have no choice Charlie but to tell them the mistake.

So come on then, what did you decide to do ?

Last night I was checking through my forms to see who hadn't returned them & one of them was the couple in question.

I noticed the mistake I'd made and rang them straight away (thinking I'd put them off, which is why they hadn't returned the form)

I left a voice mail explaining the error I had made at about 6.00pm.

The form arrived this morning.

Dangerous territory Charlie. Guess what forms a very large part of my day job. You won't need to phone a friend.

Dunno about employing the blighters, I'd like to do something different. I've had experience of rectifying the mess left by some of the s.

I have always found it pays to be honest with clients, everyone in fact.
I had a cancellation today for a dinner dance 9th October. The cancellation fee was paid by bank transfer after I told the client about it as he had not seen the contract which was signed by another member of the T/A. I also said 'I will return the fee if I get other work for the 9th' and he immediately said 'You will be the first person we contact for the next function and I look forward to meeting you, thankyou very much'.

I have made mistakes on contracts never to the clients loss so far. Normally me forgetting they wanted something extra and charging accordingly. Then nearer the time I realise should have charged them more. But as its my mistake I have always honoured them thus far.

Ahh, I wasn't aware!

Mums had her fair share of cowboy builders though, hence my statement.

You might want to re-phrase that
