Non-refundable deposits

Does anyone know anything abour Unfair Contracts (UCTA)?
I read somewhere that a Court can just strike down a term and refund monies if the term is unfair, ie you pay a deposit, the service isn't provided and so it's breach of contract, but they say the deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances.

Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer. If they wanted morality or the view of the IoD or Bank they'd ask them.

They may say it but its not true. Go back to court for a CCJ for a person or wind the company up.Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring0

There are very few cases (and I can't immediately think of any) where a deposit is entirely non-refundable.0

That's what I thought. I'm going to do some research and threaten to issue proceedings unless they return the monies.Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer.

You can obtain a CCJ against a company as well as a person.
And issuing a winding up order is very expensive and isn't an option that is likely to be pursued by anybody being owed what I suspect amounts to a few hundred quid.0 -
This is quite interesting.
