Make the late payments act, a criminal act
The number of non-paying customers and contractors is forever growing. Putting honest workers in financial difficulties and putting businesses in danger of losing everything they worked hard for. There is a legal system to follow, however, this is poorly designed and has a number of flaws.
I personally have been a victim of a non-paying customer. I took legal steps against a business and two years down the line, I'm still where I started if anything worse as I paid solicitors fees, court fees etc. I managed to get a financial report of the business in question and it turns out that this business owes a number of other companies a vast amount of money.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you mean by "Make the late payments act, a criminal act".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. If you'd like it to be a criminal offence to make a late payment to a supplier, you could start a new petition asking for that.
