Patchelicious Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Now 20 pages and no response! I've made up my mind after giving you the benefit of the doubt!20 pages? Is that like your Rouxtjie rule?
Bloukrans Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 20 pages? Is that like your Rouxtjie rule?Hahahahha, yeah, I learn from the best! I still have something like 400 posts to go to buy a water bottle from Rouxtjie
Skylark Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Surely this counts as theft/fraud. If the OP paid by credit card couldn't he get his bank to issue a merchant dispute. It's worked for me before when " goods" (train ticket in America) were not delivered to me but I had paid.Indeed, there are many avenues, ways and means.
shaper Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I think when he explained so nicely that the OP needed to close and take down the thread before he would refund... pretty much put forward his side of the story!!
dirtypot Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I know that I'll never ever be using his services myself. I won't ever be using anyone's training services, but that's besides the point. He's at the bottom of the list!

Would be hard to prove that Mr Lauer intentionally misled the OP. Although hubber Harryn could give greater clarity on such things.
KingTJ Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I would report him to the UCI and then take him to the small claims court....then he can explain his side of the story to the judge, and OP can invite us all to the court, aka Judge Judy style..
NotSoBigBen Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 CPA has been mentioned a few times, I'm surprised the hub CPA expert hasn't weighed in yet
Patchelicious Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 CPA has been mentioned a few times, I'm surprised the hub CPA expert hasn't weighed in yetCPA, schmeeePA.... This thread's real value has been in exposing this dude to others who might have been taken down the same road. The brand damage far outweighs the 600 euro in cash. Well done to OP for sticking to your guns!

However, this doesn't seem like a contract at all. It's a simple paid-up-for-services-that-weren't-forthcoming case.
Tumbleweed Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Was just having a look-see at his website. Noticed this at the bottom of his services page... Comments are closed.
DIPSLICK Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 radio silence,,,, did i miss a post from the OP OR anything from the other side??
Mntboy Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 The CPA, when it comes to contracts, is a tad murky. However, this doesn't seem like a contract at all. It's a simple paid-up-for-services-that-weren't-forthcoming case. I agree that he failed to deliver the service that he should've but I disagree that there wasn't a contract. The OP requested a training plan that was meant to be regulated by Mr Lauer, to which he (Lauer) agreed and in turn provided the OP with a cost therefor which he paid in full. The way I understand SA law this is a contract and Mr Lauer is, imho, in breach because he failed to regulate, monitor and update the OP's training plan for which he was paid. But since I'm not a lawyer, I think we would need a lawyer such as Harryn (by way of example) to weight in on this.
fabs Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 No need to involve lawyers etc. etc. etc. After this thread, Swen will be coaching tiddly winks to an old age home
