suing a designer?
 

i wanna sue a designer for breach of contract, costs for getting the site working properly, and otherwise needlessly taking up valuable space on this planet, the useless s.o.b.

the problem is that i'm in canada and he's in california and the amount is less that $10K US. That's a lot for me.

any suggestions from the board on a) how this could be done or b) how to this could be done with a realistic chance of success would be appreciated.

He probably doesn't have any money to sue for. Why bother?

You got fucked by a designer. Join the club.

you can do more damage here if you expose him and tell us what happened

Yep Yep, losing credibility will hurt his bank account. :glugglug

by breach of contract i assume you had a written contract? if thats the case why don't you just sue and don't they have to arrange for local representation as per the typical contract.

i need drama

archer: There are many shit / amateur / stealing / lousy designers out there - when they steal, it hurts all designers, it makes clients less confident, which is bad for everyone.

You should expose the designer & let us know who he is :321GFY

Yep, exposure is the best medicine.

Dime them out here, that way other webmasters can avoid using this person in the future.

welcome to the club, in the past month over 8 designers lied and cheated me and yes I mean 8

Lately its become a trend where the protfolio on the designers site and the guy who will do your work are two different people

Yes myself and a few others are about to expose these fucks and make sure they never do business in this industry again

would that exposure be so easy.

a) the designer is not on this board(sorry if that shocks people :1orglaugh )

b) the company is big and has enough to be sued

c) the company is well connected :( :ak47:

a lawsuit would be relatively private but exposure might end up costing me more than it would cost the company involved....if you take my meaning......

:Oh crap

jesus that's fucked up.

For $10K.. yea there's a principle at state.

Screw wasting time with the niceties of courts and let him have a "guest" to either collect or leave with multiple jaw breaks...

Fuck all these stupid nobody assholes who cream off folks!

i don't understand scammers. i mean, yeah, you might make a quick buck for a while. but seriously, when nobody falls for you shit anymore, and everyone wants you dead, what's the point?


doesn't anyone think about their future?

Get a lawyers letter sent ASAP. Fuck "exposing" him, that wont get your money back.

If you dont have a lawyer contact me on ICQ(see sig), I could probably refer one to you.

Good luck

They scam us, then when they are caught, create a new site, new nickname, and try again...

Those ppl are not here to stay for years, just some quick bucks

Andre

exactly. but those people most likely aren't just going to hang around scamming here. they're going to spread out. and then their own paths start to cross, and eventually it's lights out.

just do it the right way and don't fuck everyone and yourself.

sorry about that mate........but i can't give you a legal advice..:(

Damn brotha

we want the list! we want the list!

I think you can contact a lawyer in the US and take him to court without you being there, also you may be able to get him for it in federal court ...that would be nice :O))

GIVE IT UP

LETS HAVE THE NAME

POST IT EVERYWHERE

IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER SO TRY TO KEEP THE NEXT GUY FROM GETTING SCAMMED

that sucks :(

With so many lawyers out there,they are bound to have offices in the states.Usally the call is free to tell them your story.Usally if it is under 10k it has to go to small claims,so unless you want to go to California to appear,best to let a lawyer start the ground work.
