I understand that they have a fee for service and they expect people to pay - but it is kinda cruel to show up and watch the house burn.
It's like an ambulence ride - you get the service before you pay - they don't stand there while you're clutching your dismembered arm checking your credit card balance to see if you can afford the ride. It's after the fact that they will send you a bill.
I don't see why they can't use that method here too -- you pay up front it's $75 bucks, they show up and have to bail your cheap ass out -- then they send you a bill for a few hundred or more. Would sure as hell ensure that I paid up front instead of last minute. And they'd make a sweet deal off the cheap-o's. Maybe work something out to get reimbursed direct from homeowners so the people can't "forget" to pay.
I do think it's a little cheap of the guy to not pay $75 bucks - I mean that's not that much - they weren't looking for 700 a year - but I do think they shouldn't just stand there roasting marshmallows over his stuff.....
Why show up at all?
