However, this did not go properly and he laid the floor too tightly and damaged it. He tried to repair some of the damage, but not to our satisfaction. That is why we refuse to pay him the final costs of 75 euros. He has been sending messages to do this since then and we recently went to the police because he also started sending packages. At least we suspect him of this because almost no one knew our new address at the time. The police indicate that sending reminders is not stalking and that he can ask for his money, but if we pay him, our problem with the damage and loose planks will not be solved. What is the best way to deal with this? He is responsible for his botched work and owes us something.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThe contractor must still be officially put in default. You state that you gave him the opportunity to repair the error for you free of charge, but that this unfortunately resulted in a fruitless attempt, so that you rightly lost confidence in a good outcome and correctly delivered work, which is why default occurred. You state that the outstanding amounts should be offset against the damage, claims that you have against this contractor because the floor still needs to be repaired.\n\n You must reclaim the surplus from this contractor. If necessary, I can write a letter for you, usually people are a bit more impressed when a lawyer gets involved.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55017188557149,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-46595-twee-maanden-geleden-zijn-wij-verhuisd-en-hebben-wij-door-een-particulier-het-laminaat-laten-leggen","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
