dont fuck about with any of that boiling rabbits nonsense, take advice from B&A, straight for the jugular!

JulietteMontague · 17/03/2013 17:53

B&A I like this. From what I remember you have had a lot of experience in dealing with abject twuntery.

VelvetSpoon · 17/03/2013 18:01

Legally a 'contract' doesn't have to be formally written, or indeed written at all ( I once successfully claimed about £75k for a client based on an oral variation of an informal written contract!) yes tell him small claims court, (even if you don't intend to) let me know if you need any help with the forms.

WarmFuzzyFun · 17/03/2013 18:18

Lubey, the 'nest of MN vibers' will get this sorted.

Snapespeare · 17/03/2013 18:24

I'd be turning up at his place of work in two months time with a cushion stuffed up my frock and running mascara, the fucker.

Snapespeare · 17/03/2013 18:25

As if you haven't had enough to contend with lubes and now this.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 18:27

Snape, lmfao at the cushion idea!

Nothing yet...

He must have got my text because he just came online on skype

OP posts:
lulubellaboozle · 17/03/2013 18:31

that's because his hands are shaking so much he can't type a reply yet!!

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 18:39

I'll give it half an hour then send the second version if the mail. he's quite a slow typist so I'll give him a little time to reply.

I expect I'm blocked on skype and that email now too (if he knows how to do it with his email provider) but I have a work addy he doesn't know yet that I can send it from.

And a work phone I can text from in case he's blocked that too after the last text.

or should I leave it til tomorrow?

KirstyWirsty · 17/03/2013 18:42

lubey what a cunt .. However he also sounds like a coward so hopefully the threat of the small claims court will make him cough up without much further ado

mercury7 · 17/03/2013 18:45

I'd say it's reasonable to give him 24 hours to respond to the first e-mail?

BeforeAndAfter · 17/03/2013 18:45

I'd be inclined to leave it until tomorrow or the day after then it looks like you're just taking it in your stride and in business mode rather than "incensed female mode".

Flipper924 · 17/03/2013 18:47

Eurgh, Lubey.

So sorry that he's turned out to be such a twunt, after he seemed so decent. It smacks of 'not my problem now'.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 18:48

Ok, I'll leave it til tomorrow.

OP posts:
BeforeAndAfter · 17/03/2013 18:50

If you're going for the small claims court threat it gives you a chance to do the forms as I'd send those with the 2nd e-mail. You don't want to drip feed him e-mails and get into that "... and another thing you bastard" mode by sending a 3rd e-mail with forms - plus he might have blocked you on whichever address you subsequently use. Do you have his home address in case he keeps blocking?

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 18:55

No B&A I can't remember any part of it at all. Which is annoying but I had severe pregnancy brain at the time. Just work addy.

OP posts:
BeforeAndAfter · 17/03/2013 19:03

Work's probably better to be honest as he'll be more motivated to keep this out of the office.

In the second e-mail, should it get that far, and subject to fact pattern (i.e. if he blocks you on Skype etc), I'd include this:

"As you are blocking each e-mail address I use to contact you, you leave me with no choice but to use your work address to ensure that I am able to demonstrate to the courts clear communication with you. Obviously I would prefer not to do that."

If you know his full name and town of residence I expect 192 will tell you his home address. You need to pay though.

Snapespeare · 17/03/2013 19:05

nods in agreement at small claims courts forms accompanying the 2nd email. This is making my blood boil.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:09

Yeah I know the name and town.

hmm.

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 17/03/2013 19:14

Growl.

JulietteMontague · 17/03/2013 19:15

Lubey defo wait until tomorrow, it's all business now and gives him more time to sweat I've seen The Sweeny. You have everything to gain here he has everything to loose so lets hope he sees sense in his own self interest.

lubeybooby · 17/03/2013 19:22

Oh... he's back online on skype... not blocked there yet then.

OP posts:
JulietteMontague · 17/03/2013 19:22

Lubey I've pm'd you.
