811946 2009-09-19 23:18:00 Hi all

I would be interested to know how one can, legally, force someone to accept payment for a service rendered.

Basically they do not want to accept payment as they would rather have a lien (I think it is called) over the horse in question.

We have tried courier (signature required) but they refuse to accept all or any signature required goods.

Any ideas (legal ones) are much appreciated.

Cheers
Francis

I would love to, but what is the legal standing for us possessing a horse we have not paid for. Even if we have tried.

Cheers

I'm no lawyer, would advise asking one.
Perhaps you could regard it as a gift horse (:)) seeing as they refuse payment.

811953 2009-09-20 01:34:00 I would love to see the look on the cops face when you walk into the police station with the horse. :eek:

Seriously though, can you ask a police officer to accompany you to their door as witness? I've done that before.

Thanks, just asked our local rural cop and he's happy to come along.

Thanks
