So since starting this thread my interactions with Brandon have moved on

I wont bore you all with a blow by blow account so the short version....

After numerous long skype conversations he agreed to give me a refund but said I would have to wait as he had a cash flow problem after being ripped off by a designer [don't you just love irony of that]

I gave him 3 weeks or so and Skype'd him again asking for the refund and he just replied "NO REFUNDS" - after nicely reminding him that he did say he would give a refund - he eventually [after ignoring several messages] said he would give me a refund of $159

Reminder : original project was $300 - he delivered a third of it of which 75% was wrong - I had asked for $225

When I asked how he came to this figure he said it was what he earned out of the project - the rest he had lost to designer.

So apparently because he got ripped off its perfectly fine that I [as his client] should lose out as well [good business practice there I'm sure you would agree]

In the end I had had enough of talking with this idiot so just agreed to it.

He did offer me an additional $100 of "design credits" - for all that is worth - do I really need the stress of dealing with him again ????

He said he would send the money once a payment had cleared - a few days later nothing had been rec'd so I chase him up and he said it would be the next day - 2 days later still nothing, so I chased him up again. His professional, business like reply was...

"Stop being a bitch or you will get nothing"

Amazingly a few hours later the refund was finally received - hooray - he finally did something he promised to do.

So hopefully this is the end of the matter assuming he doesn't pull a chargeback on the payment he sent

The one bright spot of this whole thread was seeing him add this comments a few days ago...

Does anyone know where I can buy a new irony detecting meter because mine just blew up
