But to answer your original question ... the claimant cannot claim both the money AND retain the goods. He must provide the service and goods contracted if he's expecting payment for it.
If they issued a court claim and it was extremely likely I would lose then I might take a pragmatic approach and minimise my loses.
I understand you have principles but principles cost. Personally I would rather keep about £800 in my back pocket and also avoid the stress and strain of the court process. I don't know your circumstances but actually taking time to attend a hearing has a cost in itself.
That's been answered. If you want to defend this do you want assistance? There are plenty of people here who can help.
Do you have a copy of the t&c's you agreed to? I'm not saying you don't have a defence, you may well have. If you have let's see if we can hone it to near perfection.
If this is your thinking you are in trouble for a number of reasons.
It would appear there is more to this story than meets the eye.
But at the very least you entered a contract and you can't just cancel the contract unilaterally.
One other question is this a B2B contract?
I'm not looking for help with the defence, I have an appointment with a solicitor on Monday to draft that but Thank you for the offer.
Have you got a copy of the t&c's? If so can you show them? What is the receipt for? You say you actually paid for the photo shoot so is it for that?
To was no I can't post the t&c as his name is all over them and I can't post that on a public forum.
To everyone that has answered my question Thank you.
