Confirm the service provider
Before authorizing work, obtain the name of the business performing collection and the contact details for the person responsible for the job. Make sure the estimate and any payment arrangement identify that business.
Separate services
If utility disconnection, installation or other trade work is needed, establish whether it is included and who will perform it. A link to an external agency, manufacturer or information source does not establish a commercial partnership.
Questions about an arrangement
Ask about any third-party involvement before sharing additional details or accepting a quote. Keep a copy of the agreed scope and provider information.
