Want to get your money back after failing to keep an appointment?

Questioner

Good morning, at the end of August my ex-wife asked a company to remove and destroy a mobile home. He would do this for €800.00. After a few days he came back and asked for an advance of €100.00. This seemed reasonable. She paid him that. I have to say she is 76 years old and a bit unstable. At the beginning of September he came with the message that he would send his best man on Saturday to remove the caravan. But because he did not want that man to walk the streets with so much money, he asked for the remaining €700.00. She paid and the next step was, you guessed it, she did not show up. She stayed home all day, but forget it. Then I took over to try to get the money back. I have his telephone number and he left his ID. There is no address on his ID but I found out the address via the Chamber of Commerce. He no longer lives there. I called him and it turns out he has already moved twice until his house is ready. Wherever that may be. I now have a chat history with him from September 27th until now. He promises all sorts of things, but so far no money and a list of his excuses 1 I couldn't come because my son had meningitis. He's in hospital. 2 I fell off the truck. I'm in the hospital. 3 He promised to remove the caravan anyway, otherwise he would return the money. 4. He was supposed to bring the money in the evening, but his job ran late. 5 He would transfer it. Meanwhile, October 2. 6 I receive a confirmation that it has been transferred via the bank, he says that it will take a few days. On October 7, he would hand it over. 8 6 October transfer again. 9 He had to get his card and pin code from his ex. It would be arranged immediately. 10 His ex was still at work but he would bring it. October 6th. 11 He could not come, but his wife said she would transfer the money immediately. 12 He had had a lot of sick people, so there was a lot of nagging, but everything was back to normal. October 13, 8 promised for the 6th time that he would transfer it. 14 9 October he had sold his car. Buyer would come at 2 o'clock and then he would bring the money immediately. 15 Copper couldn't make it, he would come a day later, but he would still come. 16 Buyer didn't show up, so car was taken to a buyer. He didn't give enough, so it didn't go through. 17 His father was going to transfer the money, but he is in a choir so he might be late. 18. His father has colon cancer, is disabled and only receives an AOW pension. 19 He has opened a Rabobank account so he transfers it immediately. 20 The account at Rabo is new so there is nothing on it yet, but as soon as customers start paying, I will transfer the money. 21 He has €350 cash, he'll bring it to you soon. You guessed it, he saw nothing and no one. 23 Loan application made, it was approved according to him 24 The loan will be in my account within 1 week and will be transferred immediately, he says. November 25 6 an invoice would be paid and the loan would come in, so I would get the money right away. 26 Meanwhile, it is November 13th and still nothing. How can I get back the money he wrongfully extorted from an old woman? There are many more promises made. He often writes 100% you can count on it. Only it is 100% not true. I don't know anymore. I keep talking, but it's a repetition in moves.

Lawyer

Good afternoon, Annoying situation you are in. In principle, it concerns a contract of assignment: for a certain amount, the other party must provide a service. You can terminate the contract at any time, taking into account payment from the other party for work already performed. As far as your case shows, no work has been performed yet. You can still demand compliance (within a certain period) or request reimbursement. If he still does not come up with the money, the other party can be summoned. This procedure must be carried out accurately. Feel free to contact us without obligation to discuss the possibilities. Gr, Mr. Mr. S. Leito FerLei Legal 06-49175526
