    Great result, and a testament to your tenaciousness.

    I competely understand that you would not want this man to retain a penny of the hard won money awarded to your OH, even though he is obviously well adjusted and sees it as "just money" which indeed it is, but it is your money, and money for your future, not to line the pockets of some unscrupulous individual who cares for money more than honesty or service.

    When the money is back in your hands go after the silly !!! and make him pay and make others aware of his actions and shortcomings and save others from having to endure your experience.

    I am glad your DD is on the road to recovery, hopefully you can now move forward on all fronts.

    Well done.

    ETA: Anyone know how I can change the name of this thread - have tried but it still shows the same on the front!! (*inserts confused smilie*)

    Yes it's the same place, I'm beginning to think that he is surviving on people's deposits and that he never actually needs to put on an event!

    I think I knew it was but really hoped it wasn't. I wont ask too much more on here because obviously the name will be published at some stage but PM me if you want help. Are you at the court stage yet? Is the eegit responding to you? Keep strong viole, it was worth it for us in the end. Please let me know if you want help (I am no whizz but "been there, done that" does help a bit and I can given moral support). As can everyone on here!! Now I don't want him to fold, we need to get your money back first... how much does he have?

    I was just about to party with Violetta but now, I feel I can't!
    Am having quite a bizarre evening on here tonight. :cool:

    Oh and I still cant edit the title, tried the go advance and it edits it in the little box above but not the whole thread title. :o

    £2500 - seems to be the standard deposit. Can't believe we were stupid enough to get talked into signing up on the day. This could be a very expensive way to learn never to be pressured into a sale! What happens to these threads when they reach the end of a story, do they disappear?How do you stay in contact?
  • Congratulations Beks for getting your money back xxx time for mega celebrations for you all :):) hope your dd recovers soon for you both too x

    Viole - good luck in getting your money back from this scumbag too x
    Got married on 1st August :beer:

    thank you to everyone on the weddings and anniversary forum xxx

    Fantastic news Beks!!! I'm so pleased for you, well done on seeing it through, I just hope it's not put you off the wedding you want!
    I think you should wait till after the election and see if you can get any of the national papers to pick it up as wedding season will be coming up :rotfl:
    Well contact them now as they sometimes have a lead time x
