Thanks for the advice *RainbowTears* i`ll do that. Gonna send email to EA`s head-office asking them if thats company policy how she acted, sad that it seems all that matters nowadays is money, `money is the root of all evil` so true. Thanx for taking the time *RainbowTears* Peace out

You wouldn`t have had these sorts of shanangans in my day..... When i was a lad...... cheers again rebel11 (god knows whats happened to me typing, this wouldn`t have happened in my day either!) Fraudulent misrepresentation A fraudulent misrepresentation occurs when someone makes a statement that - they know is untrue, or, they make without believing it is true, or, they make recklessly If you enter into a contract as a result of a fraudulent misrepresentation, then you can cancel the contract, claim damages, or both. The Misrepresentation Act 1967 allows you to base your claim on negligence or on the fraud. In addition, when a misrepresentation claim is based on negligence, the law states that the person who made the misrepresentation has to disprove the negligence. In other words, they must prove that they had reasonable grounds to believe the statement, and that they believed the facts represented were true.

Thanks for replies, sorry took so long been on the phone to me missus, now she`s all worried about it. citizenB Her actual words were, according to my son, `I shouldn`t be telling you this but it would be better if you put employed rather than s-employed` rebel11 He paid cash, got a receipt but whats that worth? Don`t s`pose there`s any sort of `cooling off` period on this sort of thing, clutching a bit here:lol: cheers again for taking the time

My son just rung me frantic because a woman at Jeffries is taking his £370 deposit cos he`s self employed. He viewed a property and said he wanted it, so went back to the office to fill out forms, when it came to employment part he told her he is self employed (he`s been renting a flat for last 6months), she told him it would be better to put that he was `employed` for it to go through, which he did (he`s only young). He paid her the `admin fee` of £370 to secure it and left. Couple of hours later the same woman phoned him and said it didn`t go through because he said he was employed, not self employed and the `admin fee` was non refundable. I know he shouldn`t have listened to her, but surely there must be something he can do, he can`t afford to lose a weeks wages for nothing. Sorry if wrong place my first post. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, and a bit urgent i think. Thanx in advance

Hello everyone on CAG . I`m looking forward to reading/learning lots from everyone here Peace out
