Dear TAG readers
We are a local English family who bought our beautiful second home 9 years ago. It was a complete restoration project & we were fortunate to have lovely artisans working with us....all bar one. We finished our build years ago, but 2 1/2 years ago were presented with a very large & illegitimate bill (dated 5 years previously!) from the one artisan we had had to ask to leave the project. He is a local stonemason, who, for obvious reasons, we can't identify on this forum. Very sadly for us, the case is going to the High Court in Toulouse next year. We have wonderful testimonials from our other artisans (not one refused their help), so, fingers crossed, justice will prevail. However, we decided to reach out to TAG readers in case this rings any bells with any of you? Apparently this man has a reputation for making life difficult for foreign clients. If this does resonate with you, could you contact us via TAG? We're not sure how it might help yet (apart from a feeling of solidarity), but we might be able at least to think of a way to protect others in the future. And, of course, no-one is obliged in any way to participate in the proceedings.
