    Client not contactable for months now want deposit refunded

    Thats great - thanks everybody for your input. I have been away for a few days. As much as I would love to either put our own solicitors on the case or better still send the Arkell vs. Pressdram response (genius, thanks!) - Its simply not worth it - The deposit was £800 and frankly its cost...

    Client not contactable for months now want deposit refunded

    If a business commits to purchase something from another business and subsequently becomes uncontactable (except when they decide they want a refund) surely the supplier has some recourse. The supplier could have tied up resources or outlaid funds to service this client in advance of being paid.

    Client not contactable for months now want deposit refunded

    I would like to think that I would not put my own business in his position, intentionally. The question is not about the morality of claiming the remainder of the balance, because I wont be.

    Installing Network Cabling

    I dont think that the installation of data cabling is covered by any statutory regulations. As somebody else says though, you should be able to demonstrate that you are 'competent' (ie. qualified to carry out the job). This could be a training course, or just relevant experience. You should...

    Entering premises to recover non-paid for goods

    Sorry to re-open this thread, but we have recently started to rent the same equipment that we were previously discussing. Would the same rules apply for recovering our kit under a rental agreement when a client defaults on payment, or do we get any more 'power'. (The usual 'Goods remain our...

    Entering premises to recover non-paid for goods

    Thanks eveyrbody. We have rewritten out T&C's to be given explicit permission to enter the premises (with reasonable notice) to recover goods in future. This will be spelled out to clients too.
