Hi and thank you for allowing me to join. I hope someone can advise me on a little issue I have.
Last year I submitted an item for repair to a local shop/business. The item is still not repaired and after a number of polite requests it appears that little progress, if any was made. I requested on a number of occasion via messenger that the item be returned but the owner kept saying its imminent. So I approached the business in person recently to retrieve my property but the owner became irate and hostile until the situation became too unpleasant and I left the premises. A member of staff did contact me afterwards to calm the situation but I have not had any more updates since. I am not able to call back as it was a private (hidden) number.
The value of the item is approximately £300 and the repair work was just under half the value of the item. The item is of sentimental value so I am reluctant to write it off.
I appreciate this is a trivial amount but I wondered if I have any legal grounds to collect it or call on local police etc? I would be interested to know what my options are.
Many thanks
