I sent off my £600 schneider boots to fixmybootzips.com/Lucy Francis in east sussex in Sept. Cheque cashed. No boots. No response to emails/phone calls to mobile(landline not receiving calls...hmmmmm!).Anyone else had problems? HELP!!
 
If your worried I would drive to the address listed on their website

Flat 2
12 Frant Road

Try doing an experien? search for her name, it might come up with a new address.. then go round there with a big stick and a doberman..
You might find facing her out (on your own not with the above) may just produce your unmended boots...
I hate people who do runners, we had someone in a cottage who took us for their electricity bill plus unpaid rent. They get dozens of letters still a year later from people they owe money to..
 
Small claims court would appear to be your next step

you can only do a small claim throught the court if you have a current address for her. if they were a limited company you could send to registered office. i have done a credit check and they are not a ltd company im afraid . even if you issued it at the address you have for her and win the case you still have to get the money out of her and you that means you need to enforce the judgement aand more expense for you.
 
That is SO depressing! How do people get away with this???
Thank you for your very sound advice, though. This is the first time I've used a forum and it's brilliant!
 
I am a bit of a freak

I managed to find the girl my ex once cheated on me with - over a year after the incident!

BNot sure if that is an OLD address or a new one tho, but its a bit sus that there are 2 L francis in Shepton Mallet.

My friend started Hartpury in 99, so I have asked her is she remembered an L francis there (cos I am now curious!)
 
BREAKING NEWS!!! Have just phoned the Shepton number and bf answered...apparently she is out shopping...ring again at 5-6pm...we shall see!!!
It's all getting terribly exciting!
Beau, you are a genius!!
 
Slightly mad is prerequisite for being an interesting person!
She has my boots...she's cashed my cheque...3months ago...
It would be great to think that I could be competing in my zipped boots soon!
Fingers and anything else crossed.
 
Update us on how you get on later - you might want to hide ur number when u call her so she cant avoid you! and someone told me that calling more then 3 times a day is harassment so dont call her too much - Im sure a couple of us calling her every so often would help tho

Oh also - is there anything you can do about getting the ££ back - like through the bank - how much was it you paid her like??
 
Maybe an innocent c***-up...apparently my boots are with an outfit called the Boot Shed and Lucy will phone tmrw pm to confirm they are there and have been done...Let's hope.
 
Had the phone call...boots will be posted back special delivery on Monday..so I shd get them Tues and then we can all breathe a sigh of relief that there was indeed an honest mistake rather than a new addition to the rogue's gallery.
 
I think my boots are back, though Postie came uncharacteristically early( ie, before 1pm!!) and I was schooling Saffron in a howling gale and didn't hear him....so now it's a trip to jolly old Yeovil to collect them. Will report on workmanship. Meanwhile, big thanks to all who helped, especially Beau!
 
No thanks needed, just glad you got your boots back - and in a way its sorted out the confusion about the service etc and why they were late, so if there are any more queries we know she is not a bad egg. Apparently she is a very sweet friendly lady - says my friend who it turns out was at Hartpury with her.

Small world.

Have fun in your boots

I must say this forum-thingy is fab! Still totally defeated by the technology needed to upload photos...a simpleton's step-by-step guide wd be good...
Just off to Yeovil(e) now..to collect THE BOOTS!
 
Have collected boots. Fixed....slightly oddly, zip on inside, towards front with a tab and popper covering zip just below knee....interesting to see if it rubs... I had expected the zip to be in the back seam. Hey ho.
Anyway, Fixmybootzips are OK after all. Phew.
