I can not believe the message I have just had..

THEY ARE RELEASING NY WEDDING DRESS..

When they went bk on the receipt my name wasn’t signed on the contract.. (as I have stated) so therefore they cannot hold my wedding.. ��

Thank you al for your advice

Ps) they have now accepted DD payment for the bridemaids dresses.. Even thou I don’t have to pay them as I’m not liable I would not do that on anyone out trying to make a living

OK, that is great but I have to say this all makes little sense.

There are very, very few situations in UK law where a contract has to be in writing and/or be signed to be valid. Obviously it is usually far easier to prove what was agreed if it is in writing but verbal contracts are (with a few exceptions) just as binding.

There was no attitude ,, only from some of you girls to be fair. I’ve not been rude or had an attitude. Anyway I’m getting my dress so that is all that matters..

Good day

My sister in law signature is on the contract as she was the one paying as stated ����

Yous all need to calm down and stop being so shifty towards me!
I’ve done nothing wrong. Get of your high horses and stop trying to make out I’m lieing.

The dress shop said there accounted said they should hold my wedding gown until other balance was paid. But when the lady from shop went to look at contract as I asked for it to be send to me with where my name was signed (I knew I didn’t sign anything) she then had to back track

Hence why they have to release my dress..

Well that's a fortunate turn of events. It looked like this was completely entrenched and suddenly they've relented.

Still, all's well that ends well. Now you've just got the family finances and fallout to deal with!

If you look back over the thread with a clear head and with the benefit of knowing it's all turned out well, you'll see that it was your slightly strange fixation with legal matters and occasional evasiveness that made people suspicious. These forums often see people pop up asking for help, not getting the answers they want and then start drip-feeding new or different information. We can only give reasonable advice if situations are explained reasonably honestly. When people ignore good advice, take offence when someone suggests something they disagree with or isn't clear when asked for more detail, it just annoys people who are (voluntarily) trying to help.

I agreed with everything that was said to me.. and have Ona number of different occasions thanked everyone..

Again thank you and I appreciate all your advice x

Hollydays it’s my partners sister, I have tried to speak with her about it but atm she’s not willing to help out.. and is also demanding money (600) if I try to resell the bridemaid dresses on..

Warby I actually do not know when the balance was due I I had no correspondence regarding the dresses as it was my SIL paying for them.. All I knw remaining balance was to be paid when dresses arrived and were to be collected..

But then the shop said the designer was not releasing the dresses until full payment was made .. this was after my SIL said she wanted her deposit bk and wasn’t paying remaining balance. It was onky then that the shop rang me then looking payment..
then they said they were sending out a letter

Personally, I'd tell the SIL that she is responsible for paying the balance of the dresses and she can sell them or charity shop them once she has done so.

She is the one who will be in trouble if/when the shop decides to chase for the money.
Let her deal with it.

She has caused you a lot of stress and expense and is getting away scot-free.
Unless the fall-out was 100% your doing.

Personally, I would not be able to forgive someone who promised me something then took it away unless i had hurt them pretty badly.

Very pleased to hear that.

Ah, that's good then (and it's saved you the cost of a solicitors letter)!



Did you say you'd already bought replacements? Are these something that can be returned? Technically your sister in law bought the bridesmaid's dresses, she can 'sell' them to you for a huge discount after she's finished paying for them if you're happy to do this. If not, the shop can get in touch with her directly and she can sort her own mess out.



This isn't a criminal matter by the way, there's no intention to permanently deprive.
