Good lad. Chris, let us know if you make some progress. I bet the spud put all his stuff into storage while the dispute was ongoing.
To expect you to lose out cause they can't be arsed to chase him stinks though and is well out of order IMO.
I say people like this who continue to evade repaying after court proceedings should be forced to repay their debt at half minimum wage doing hard labour for the creditor. If they fail to do so they should be jailed.
On the other hand, you could end up having some right dodgy characters on your premises!
