Hi,

Looking for some advice with a situation I am in with a client.
I was in talks with a customer over supplying her data for debt managment cases. I agreed to send her a test of 100 leads to trial it to see if it works.
She then emailed me confirming she would like to order 5000 and told me she had paid for the data. I did not see the payment but she then re emailed me saying she had put a digit in wrong and it was now done.
I then ordered the data from my supplier ready to sent to her.

My supplier sent me my data along with an invoice.So I am out of pocket by 500.00 :-(

Since then I have not been paid by her and she refuses to take my calls
Is there anything I can do legally?

Her emails went like this

We would like to place an order for 5,000 names on debt consolidation can you send me how we order and pay etc

Forgive me if you have already given me this information before deleted email by mistake.

Regards

Hi Andrea



Good to hear from you...hope everything is going well with the recruiting!



Let me know what you want to do as soon as so I can get my supplier ready. It can take up-to 24 hours for data to be delivered so please bare that in mind.



Regards

From what you have said there is no doubt a contract in place.

Further than that she has sent she has sent payment - proof of the above.

If they don't take calls, just write to them. Inform them politely that you have not received the promised payment, and ask them to contact you ASAP to confirm that this has been actioned.

If you *then* don't hear back then it looks like they are being evasive and you can go down the route of less polite warnings.

Would those emails stand up as a contract?
