Small Claims Court - Rougue Builder / Drive Guy

[kiteboy]

Would this cover things cos now I feel we are in a kind of limbo period while ccj is delayed

Got this ready to send

"I see you've responded to the court claim....as I said allllll along this was never the route we wanted to go down....just wanted the drive we paid for. Just so it's clear though as we are in a weird limbo period now ....we will not be paying any additional costs to get this completed if you do come and do it....I hope you do but I'm more than happy to go to court if we have to aswell"

Do you think that would be suitable.....I'm thinking he may do it see and the whack me with additional costs that have never been discussed ....only when I offered way back to get it finished.....can you see why I'm worried?
Help

just wait

OK cool just hold my nerve then - I just keep thinking he has some sort of angle I dont know about and I just wanted to make it abundantly clear I wont be paying a penny more before he does anymore - hes apparently comming this afternoon now to pour some concrete

[JK2054]

just let it run and he'll do what he does.

Well I thought I would update people. He came back to do the side of the house. Only a small section. That turned out great. No issues at all with it. Hes just come back today and its gone horribly wrong again. I could see quite early myself the concrete didnt look too wet. Basically he put it down and couldnt get an imprint into it all all......I do feel quite bad for him now , he has tried andprobably wasted the best part of £1k today. He had the same mix, same company but its a complete disaster. So its all got to come up yet again. He did mention we will have to come to some form of agreement now so thats it ...he should have rejected the concrete if he wasnt happy. So will see what happens now. But my advice would be to NEVER have a concrete drive!....I would settle for 5K as its £100 per meter and we have 50m sqaure to do again in the front. I dont expect him to offer that but will see what happens. With regard to the court case, hes extended it and then requested mediation. I just hope we can come to an agreement now and then part ways. Hes also peeved off a neighbour one side of me too so dealing with the flack of that too....complete and utter disaster

No, go to mediation, and make it clear that you have consumer rights. dont be the one to back down
