If there are three sides to every story - Mine / His and the truth?

 

Here's MINE: 

2 years ago, I sent my newbie wife to Swen Lauer for some skills. (Found him on the W2W site) - I tagged along for fun and Swen did a great job with my wife... She is now a demon on the MTB - Thanks for that.

 

Fast forward to this year, as I got an Epic entry, I decided to call up coach Swen to get a training program. He explained he had all these top athletes and agreed to give me a program based on my very erratic schedule. (I'm away for weeks at a time and can't train, but then home for weeks where I can train without restriction - I sent him my schedule)

 

His fee was around R1000 per month plus a R1000 deposit. I agreed to pay him for 6 months in advance and I paid in Euros - I gave him €600. My first mistake....

 

About a week later a got a two week block of a training program. After that two week period, I was away for a week so was not alarmed when I did not receive anything else. Then into week four, nothing... and week five nothing.

I sent a couple of reminder emails... nothing.

 

So on week six, I made other arrangements. That was a month ago and to date, still no reply to my emails with regards to refunding my money.

I tried calling but no luck either....

 

So before I rant about him running off with my money and not delivering on the agreement, I would like him to either explain HIS side or refund my money. 

 

So over to you Swen Lauer....

You should have gone with Erica Green as a coach.

 

If anyone can get you through Epic she can :thumbup:  :thumbup:

Ladies and Gentlemen, the guy has payed his money and feels he is a victim of poor service delivery!

His choice on how to approach the problem is " not questionable" as he is up against a person who is a leading personality in the sport!

This creates a scenario of "Who is going to believe me" because of the personalities status in the riding community........the fact still remains that service delivery, once someone has paid for something has to be adhered to, know matter who it is!

Please respect his appeal to the service provider to provide what he has paid for!!!!

Think that ship has sailed - no longer just the one victim. All we can do is keep the thread going and active. Short of renaming it 'Lauer is a {insert leading TdF rider here} ' and hoping the overseas TdF searches see it, not much else we can do.
