Hello all,
Where to begin.. The misses won a free photo shoot with one free photo.
we had the shoot done and the guy came round a week later to show us the pictures on his laptop.
He then managed to convince me to buy the DVD which included 5 photos plus 1 free photo for £375.
I chose the photos that I wanted and the guy filled out the "order form." Then I signed it.
Now,
I told him that there is no way I can pay that much out in one go so we agreed verbally a repayment plan, nothing in writing.
A couple of days before the first payment was due after some discussion; my misses and I agreed that we really just cannot afford this kind of expense, so I got in touch with the guy who pointed me towards the order form saying that I signed a contract..
At no stage during the order process was I told that I was entering a contract, or was I pointed towards the Terms and Conditions which were printed in a pale blue on the reverse of the order form. Nor did it say on the order form that by signing I am agreeing to terms and conditions.
This guy is now threatening me with legal action and debt collection for being in breach of contract.
I guess the reason I'm here is,
do I have any legal right to defend myself as I wasn't shown the terms and conditions and I wasn't directed to them before signing and wasn't told that I was entering a contract.
Any help and/or advise would be really appreciated.
Chris.
