Refuses to pay!

    I recently sold some products to someone and we had agreed a price before the goods were delivered.
    However, once the goods where delivered to the purchasers home he would only agree to pay for half! (making every excuse possible for his reasons why it was only worth half !!! :confused: ). I refused to pay half and explained I needed the full amount as agreed before the delivery.
    There is nothing on paper, the deal was done over the phone!
    I was unable to take the product away again as it had to be delivered in lorry loads and did not have the lorry with me!

    My question is....................

    What can I do now?
    Where do I go from here??
    No payment has been received as of yet as I refused to take 'half' payment!
    :mad:

    I look forward to ANY replies/advice!

    A solicitors office most likely.

    A fairly common customer tactic in Ireland. I have come across it a number of times. Get your lorry, put a big sign on it - "Unpaid Goods Recovery Team" - and go recover your goods from the customer. It is going to cost you some time and money but far cheaper time and moneywise than going to Court.

    Did you now.

    As well as the constitutional right to the inviolability of the dwelling, it should be noted that the High Court has said this behaviour (parking a "debt collection" truck outside someone's home in such a distressing way) is a prima facie breach of ss 10 and 11 of the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act 1997.

    I suggest you read Sullivan v. Boylan [2012], and the more recent case where damages were awarded, and adjust your behaviour accordingly.
