Ok folks....the wait is over (hopefully..!!)

She is in the wrong withholding your money that she is not legally entitled to. She doesn't get to make the demands.

Once the money is refunded then you get this thread deleted. She has already proven that she is not trustworthy.

I dont even think it can be deleted can it?
Why I'm getting all this absolute crap when I've done nothing wrong I dont know. So very tired of it all.
I'm not thrilled at effectively being blackmailed either, not impressed..!!!!
 
No you can't delete the thread. Admin *could* but whether they choose to or not is entirely up to them, and frankly I don't think they should capitulate to the demands of this seller, who is definitely doing a very good job of putting themselves wholeheartedly in the wrong!

No idea, you'd have to contact site admin.

Just ignore her going forward. Block her number and on whatever platforms that she is using to contact you. She has your bank details to return your money and that is all she needs to do now. If the money isnt in your account by 8pm as stated just start small claims procedure.

It's your money and she is stealing by not returning it. You dont need any further contact from her and she'll hear via the legal route shortly if she doesn't return your money
 
What JFTD said.

You could ask to see the posts on Facebook but you should not capitulate to their demands.

The moment a seller told me that I was "daft" to get the horse vet checked, I would have run away. Or I'd like to think so. Probably not if I really liked the horse, but it's a huge red flag. Conscientious sellers know many buyers do pre-purchase exams. It's pretty standard.
 
Advert seems to have been taken down. Hopefully this means that they’ve taken note of yesterday’s vetting (rather than today’s) and are making arrangements to investigate further.

No idea where on FB anything may have been posted, but obviously any kind of attempted blackmail is rather underhand (sound familiar?😏), and does not reflect well on the seller.

Why do people have to make a drama out of everything??? 😱😏😆😁

I am sure you could get admin to take the thread down if you explain how much grief you are getting from the seller, but I wouldn't ask them to do it until the deposit is in your account.

Seller, pay up!

Yes this, would be fantastic if these people could voice their concerns before the event

Horrible thing you are going through OP, but if the dealer ( and they are a dealer dont give a rat's arse if they are trying to claim this is a private sale!) has even one brain cell they will refund your money PDQ or they will be the losers long term not you. ;)

In response to your quote above, I was one of those who really did not like what I saw on the ad in your original post and alarm bells rang - loudly! Since the vet fail I have voiced that opinion but not before. Why? this is H&H you were being inundated with lots of 'oohing' and 'aahing' when you posted your initial intention to very possibly buy, with this horse and the advert that attracted you. Being H&H, a negative post when all the 'experts' on H&H were wishing you luck and saying how wonderful the horse was would have caused the usual mayhem and abuse and personal attack if anyone dared to voice a differing opinion on your would be purchase.

Just posted response to clarify why I and I suspect a handful of others did not give comment or caution before you even had this poor animal vetted, despite the huge question marks that were very obvious from day 1. I really hope these awful dealers refund your loss and you very quickly find the right horse for you.

Do you think they misinterpreted my post saying in your shoes I would post on FB? I've not seen anything and I've not been well today so been laid down most of the afternoon mindlessly trawling the internet so prob would have seen it

Funny as throughout these threads and there have been several, MANY people have made negative posts about horses for sale and there was no "mayhem, abuse or personal attacks" Must just be you that has that affect on people ;)

Please just go away LM - your pathetic 'jump' on any single thing I post that you perceive as controversial is frankly pathetic, revealing to say the least about yourself and your rather sick mind and delight in stirring up trouble for anyone other than yourself...but then we mustn't criticise poor bullied and downtrodden you must we eh? ;) nasty little woman :)

I have given her till 10pm as a goodwill gesture she's refused unless I remove all of my posts.

She can refuse all she wants, she is breaking the law and will have to pay the money back via small claims.

She incriminating herself further by blackmailing you and by default admitting that the money is not hers and should be returned to you. She cant put conditions on what needs done before she returns it.

She is daft to keep spinning this out. She returns the money and this thread will die a death, end of story.

Unbelievable and this is what gives sellers a bad name.

Seller, the only issue you have is one created by yourself. The OP has only reported an unsuccessful vetting and the disappointment of having to walk away from a nice sounding horse. End of discussion and we all move on. Until the question of the return of the deposit comes up and we find out you refuse to return it, unless certain conditions are met.

This post will run on, and on until that deposit is returned - not great for business, but an outcome that is entirely of your making, and solving 😏
 
SLH I would stop posting on this thread and proceed through the small claims court. Dont contact the seller via text,messages or any social media platform.

Also when you next go to view a horse it might be a good idea not to post about it on here as a lot of sellers may be on here.

Good luck in your search!

P.S Contact Janet George about her horse!
 
If I thought the seller would do the right thing I would just ask for the thread to be removed or at least closed, however, it is the sellers legal obligation to refund (whether she thinks otherwise or not) and me removing the thread is goodwill.
She's claiming now that I'm blackmailing her, which is a bit of a cheek..!!!
They have clearly decided to go down the legal route so I can only hope they come to their senses before 10pm.

At the moment I doubt I could afford one from JG but will get finances back on track before looking at any and then contact her :)

Print a copy of this thread off, with any communication you have from the seller, as evidence for the small claims court. Iit sounds as if your case will be proved.
Click to expand...

Yes, that's what I plan to do, I also have copies of ALL of the messages plus the original advert etc. I have the vets report, the deposit receipt
and some other evidence that I dont with to post here on the open forum.
They don't have to do it this way but hey ho.

As for not posted because other sellers may be on here...surely genuine people are not going to have a reason to be worried. All the seller had to do was at least pretend to be sorry that the horse has problems and refund the deposit without any hassle. Job done.

Sorry the vetting failed SHL. But always go with your gut feeling.

It is amusing how some people suddenly already knew XYZ after they're presented with the facts...

There are some posters on the forum that can make a reasonable judgement on conformation in conjunction with longevity and purpose. Some have decades of experience that may be of help to others. I find it amusing that some people judge a horse as being suitable for whatever, because it has a nice face, fluffy feet or is a nice colour.

Successfully buying horses is a minefield, even with a hefty budget. Trying to buy on a limited budget and from a dealer is beyond a minefield sadly.

Reply telling her you have no control over Facebook, but all of us will stop posting on this thread just as soon as your deposit is showing in your account. 👍
(and no I didn’t post on Facebook or anywhere else, in case anyone was wondering.)

Aye, sure. We'll get bored and piss off when she sends the money back. Until then, we keep bumping it back up because that's the kind of sad little losers we are :)

I didn't post anything on facebook, but I'm rather tempted to now!
