Hello there, I am having an issue with a company that will remain nameless not giving my deposit back.
What happened was that contracts were done for us, we didnt like what was in the contracts, didn't agree with a few of the clauses that weren't able to be changed, decided to go with a different builder and now he's spoken to me and told me that I won't be getting my deposit back. The deposit I gave to him, I was never given a reciept for, and he never outlined to me what he was going to do with the money, as far as I was concerned and still am it was just money to show him that I was serious and that it was going to go towards building the house.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have since contacted consumers affairs victoria, and they advised me to send him one last email to outline what I want and what I was going to do if it was not met.
