Good day, Tsering.
Your file was sent to a third party collection agency only once you refused your service calls to complete the outstanding work. Although we desire to have completely transparent and positive relationships with all our clients, it becomes difficult when service is refused because you deem it a 'waste of time'.
You can withhold 10% of your balance, as per clause 15 of your contract in situations where you're awaiting a service:
15. The Buyer(s) agrees that the balance of the contract price shall be due and payable upon substantial completion of the delivery and installation of the products ordered under this contract, unless otherwise stated in writing. If further services are required, including rectification work, or further products to be delivered, the Buyer(s) agrees the he/she shall pay a minimum of ninety percent (90%) of such balance owing notwithstanding that there may remain further services to be performed or product to be delivered.
Our effort to return to complete the inspection and rectification proved to be futile when you had reached out to cancel the appointments. It seemed you understood what a service call was when you had connected with us to cancel the appointment for the work you're referencing (caulking). The definition of a service call within our field would be; to return to your property (on call) to correct (service) any causes of concern.
You received a total credit of $670.00 for the inconveniences you experienced, if you would like to proceed with your service call, please feel free to connect with our Service Department at 1-800-449-3808 ext. 3.
Regards,
Brock Doors and Windows Ltd.
