What counts as a broken promise or contract?

A contractor who takes payment but doesn’t finish the work

Home repairs or renovations done poorly or not as agreed

Services paid for but never delivered (freelancers, consultants, providers)

Goods paid for that never arrive or arrive damaged or unusable

A written or verbal agreement that one party fails to honour

A promised refund that is delayed or never issued

How it works

We send a formal demand letter outlining what was agreed and what’s owed. Many cases resolve at this stage.

Everything you
need to know

Do I need a written contract to take action?

Not always. Texts, emails, invoices, or other proof of an agreement can sometimes be enough. What matters is whether there was a clear promise and a clear failure to keep it.

What can I recover if a contract is broken?

You may be able to recover money you paid, the cost to fix or replace what wasn’t delivered, or other financial losses caused by the broken promise.

What if the other party keeps making excuses or delaying?

Delays can still be a breach. If you’ve given reasonable time and they still haven’t performed, you may have the right to demand payment or take legal action.

What if the other party changed the terms after we already agreed?

Once both sides agree to specific terms, one party can’t unilaterally change them. If they did and you didn’t clearly agree to new terms, the original agreement may still be legally binding.
