This is a grey area. Did you draw up a contract when you started the job? Deleting the live site could be deemed as an infringement of the computer misuse act.
Do the easiest thing, sell the debt to a debt management agency and move on to another job. I bet the money you will lose doing this will be far less than the amount you can make on another job in the time it takes to chase this up! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Matthews Sent: 08 December 2008 11:03 To: [email protected] Subject: [Flashcoders] My rights - site not paid for. What are my rights ( in the UK ) for taking down a site which has not been paid for? The owner of the company is happy with his site, but is not coughing up. I still have FTP access. He says the site took too long, and makes lots of excuses for not paying - which do not tally. He changed the site drastically at least three times - I think it took too long too, due to this. He is updating the news section and other sections whenever he has new material. I would be interested in your thoughts. This person won an award for being a top business man this year - is this what you have to do to be a top business man - screw people? I am not the kind of person to take this action really, but I may consider it.
