    The buyer will have more than a hole in his shoe if I don't get my item returned if my bank refunds him.

  • If he has just one hole in his shoe, it's still an order of magnitude lower than the number of holes in your story.

    Santander called me early this morning. 
    Thankfully for me and not the buyer my account limitations have been unfrozen and he has not been given a chargeback.
    He has sent me another message on Gumtree saying he is interested in my television what is my address etc.

    He already knows your address, remember?  He used his solicitor status to demand it from Santander.
  • Has someone already mentioned referring him to the response that would have been given in Arkell vs Pressdram?

    So he's going to come from Ireland, no sorry Northern Ireland, presumably via Ferry to buy a second hand TV but first needs your address that he, as a barrister or was it solicitor(??), already got from your bank?

    Your address he already read out to you before?

    Anyway:
    Obviously to end this charade you will have no further contact with buyer?

    He has his item and you have your payment.

    Or is the next episode in this thrilling Saga/Soap going to be about  a TV?

    I sent him that by text. He did not respond.

    Was that before or after you blocked him?
