I put down a cash deposit on a horse advertised in Horsemart in May by Jason Day who trades from a field in Little Somerford, Wiltshire (and is a regular advertiser in Horsemart). Arranged to collect horse 2 days later but received text that morning to say horse unfit to travel due to lameness and that my deposit would be refunded as he could not guarantee when he would be sound again. To cut a long story short, despite many promises given on the phone, my deposit has not been returned and I was wondering if anyone has a contact address for Jason so that I can follow this up. Unfortunately, I live a good distance from his 'yard' so cannot keep popping in to see if he is there. If anyone has had a similar experience with this dealer perhaps they could let me know.
 
Did you get a receipt with the deposit? If you paid by card the transaction will be on your bank statement. I'd threaten with small claims court in this case. Tbh I've never heard anything negative re this dealer, he has been on here a few times.

I would however remove your post as it is defamatory.
 
I am positng this after taking advice from Trading Standards. I am simply stating facts and asking if anyone has a contact address - it is not meant to be defamatory.
 
your post is not defamatory. i would think this person is straight as he was not prepared to let an unfit horse travel. just keep trying to contact him re your refund. he probably has a busy life like the rest of us. and needs a reminder?
 
Having your husband phone me and state (threaten) to me in no uncertain terms "that he will send a couple of blokes down from Coventry, to make sure that I could not work until the end of the year" to quote your husband. This seriously impedes my enthusiasm to refund you your deposit (very small cash deposit of £100) or communicate with you.

Your post is most certainly defamatory and i will be onto H and H admin in the morning. We do not trade from a "field" as you are stating, we trade from a small stable yard, which you well know as you came to view the horse at the yard. So why you feel it necessary to say such an untrue comment as they trade from a "field" i find very strange.

I had a bad experience with this guy, nothing to do with money, the horse was seriously dangerous.

Good luck getting your money back!

Cecildog i assume you are again refering to the chestnut 15.3HH gelding you purchased off us for about £900 two years ago as a 3/4 year old (cannot precisley remember if he was 3 or 4 as it is now 2 years on). He was backed and turned away and you knew he needed bringing on hence his price as he was purchased straight from the field.
You never called me or informed you had a problem with the horse, the first i knew about you having a problem with the horse was when you started posting negative things on here about me.
 
Why dont you just give her the £100 deposit back. Send it recorded delivery and have done with the matter. I would just want the matter closed, whether her husband has threatened you or not, just send it back, two wrongs dont make a right.

it's jason.....and it doesn't sound like him to be evasive, TBH...

blimey, the poor bloke cant do right for doind wrong, can he?

can you imagine the shite that would be flying round now if Mr Day had sent the horse on its way lame?

Bloody Hell........

**shakes head**
 
If I were him, I would infact be reporting the threatening incident to the police.
Nevertheless, there are no timescales reported in your post, therefore I do not feel able to comment on the matter of returning money.
 
Jason, thank you for replying to my post. I cannot comment on what my partner might have said to you - he was probably just totally fed up with me pestering him to check whether you had paid the money back into his account as you did not want to use my bank and this had been going on for about three months.
As it stands I still haven't received my deposit back and I have done nothing wrong so why don't you do the decent thing and send me a cheque/postal order to resolve the matter.
 
I am not complaining at all about him not selling the horse but the fact that the deposit has not been refunded to me after a perod of over 3 months.

as i said before...its really dosnt seem like him TBH.....

can i ask why you've brought it onto open Forum?


and no, i am in no way connected to Mr DAY.
 
Because Traading Standards advised me to do so to try and get a contact address so that I could write to him to try and resolve the matter with him as I was getting no joy from my telephone conversations with him.

get an address?

but surely you had that when you viewed the animal in the first place?...so i dont see the TS stance on this?

It had no facilities for receiving mail and I did not expect there to be any problems so did not think to ask for any other address.

did you go to wiltshire and view the pony?
 
your partner should not be using this abusive attitude to Mr Day..and if you are causing this much fuss over a hundred pounds do you really think you can afford a horse ?


Also why dont you do the decent thing and get your partner to say sorry for his behaviour to Mr Day...if this goes to court you will have to comment on your partners actions.

I am shocked that you think you can treat Mr Day like this, how can you use the threat of intimidation and viloence and then see yourself as the victim ?
 
Im in no place to comment about the issue raised, but I know I for one would 'cause a fuss' over £100 - it's still a large amount of money whether you can or can't afford a horse - I know I wouldn't be happy loosing it!

I hope it all gets sorted out to everyone's satisfaction :-(

I don't think the amount of money is the issue here, so the person who thinks that if you make a fuss about getting your £100 back may not be able to afford the horse has rather missed the point IMO.
I am not suggesting that this is what has happened in this case, but it would be possible for someone to offer a horse for sale, take the deposit and then say it is not fit to travel, pocketing the depost. This same pony could be a real money maker for the unscrupulous

Say what? Would you kiss £100 goodbye just like that? If it were a tenner for goods I hadn't received I would be kicking up the same fuss. And it has nothing to do with whether I can afford to keep a horse or not.
 
as far as i can see the lady has done nothing wrong ! and if mr day had sent her the deposit back as promised her other half would not have had any reason to be unhappy. its unbelievable really !
 
oh dear god for a hundred quid. and if the said man had put a lame horse on box what would have been threatened then? fo the sake of a !pony! send them a cheque or a 100 quid. and for the numptys buying get a life. cant quite get my head round an argument for such a mincy amount
