Yes, and no.

Yes, you owe the client. That is for you to deal with.

No, you don't have to accept the cretinous Bloggs profiting at your expense. I hadn't divined from above that he already had the modem and the money. You are too trusting Chill :D

But its a slightly mixed-up situation. Disputes Tribunal claim.

How did he get the refund and yet hold on to the modem? Or was the refund for his own purchase (returned)? He has unlawful possession of the modem. A Police matter, but they might not be interested.

We might need a few more facts, but you shouldn't let the Blackadder spawn (Bloggs) away with it. Tell us more if you can.

292999 2004-11-18 02:53:00 Okay:
The client (Richard) wanted a refund.
I said sure, no problem, post the modem back.

So I by then have a week left of working at the shop.
The Modem arrives and I approach "Mr Bloggs" asking for the receipt so it can be returned. He claims he cant even remember the sale occured, nor does he know the location of the receipt, but suggested I leave the Modem with him and he would try and return it without a receipt.

A week later I leave the business. A week and a half later I find a receipt of mine for the same product I had purchased about a week before we began Managing the business. I gave this to Mr Bloggs to assist with the return.

Mr bloggs still has the modem, has not returned it... Should still have that receipt (Which the supplier will honor).... Has not refunded the customer either, although he has the clients details.

I have nothing, the client has nothing..... Err, yeah..... :-(

293000 2004-11-18 03:49:00 OK. Above you said you'd done the modem job free-lance - and before you started working for Bloggs. That means the job has nothing to do with Bloggs or the business.

But it seems it did.................because he had the receipt which suggests Blogg's business ordered and paid for the modem. But you said you paid for the modem. The money went through the business till as a cash float short term loan from you................or did it?

Look Chill. Whatever the correct facts - and I'm sure it is all quite simple, you need to make a claim against the guy. If the sale was by the business to Richard (Dick to his mates) and you were simply an employee, then Bloggs business owes the money.

But you were freelance and not working for the business................. so I'm very confused. :D

The point is proved,patience is indeed a virtue .

Clarity of mind is obviously not required to fix computers .
