Absolute unreliable promises

The electrical geyser popped and damaged the ceiling.<br> I was referred to APL Maintenance by the plumber that replaced the geyser.<br> I received a quote to repair the ceiling as well as fixing other ceilings that were sagging on 23 October 2014.<br> This was accepted the same day and payment of 50% deposit made of R1445.02.<br> On 28 October I asked for a date to arrange someone at home - no reply<br> On 19 November I asked for a phone call as my calls were not answered - nothing<br> On 26 November I once again tried to get a response as we had December vacation plans - nothing.<br> After the holidays I tried to phone again - no reply<br> On 17 February 2015 I cancelled the project with APL Maintenance and asked for deposit to be paid back - nothing<br> I then phoned him from another cell phone and this time he answered and promised to pay the next day - nothing.<br> On 24 February 2015 I asked for proof of payment - nothing to date.<br> I then said he has to pay before end May else I will report him to Hello Peter.<br> <br> Absolute unreliable promises first to deliver then to pay back deposit!<br>
