Satellite Radio makes me miss Kim Mitchell. I'm in his camp when it comes to these new stipulations.
Bonjour Rosarita nous somme four...no deposit e no ID.
They can throw up in their mouths when they meet me at the door.

That's a long time to use a deposit. I would have asked for the deposit back if it was during the Covid lockdown but if the provider won't return it I would think that a mutual agreement can be met. I dunno I see it both ways. Another reason I don't do deposits for bookings. Once they have your money it's hard to get it back.
I would never see that girl. Her behavior on Twitter is a turn off and plus a few years ago I was in contact with her and she was rude to me. Plus I believe she likes to posts clients numbers on twitter she has issues with.
I probably have a bunch of expired cards then! That's pretty outrageous though. As it's effectively selling....nothing.
The problem with OP's post is that I'm not sure if this is actually a deposit issue. A deposit is used in the industry to reserve a timeslot with a provider. If the client cancelled within a certain window, he is trading his deposit for the providers potential loss of income or other expenses incurred. But given the timeline, I suspect this is related to COVID and likely it was the provider who cancelled, and instead of returning the deposit she offered to apply it to a future appointment. At that point it has less to do with being a deposit and more to do with the new agreement of applying it to a future visit. He's agreeing to give up the returned deposit from her cancelling in return for being able to apply it later, and then it sounds like she's reneging on that claiming the agreement has expired.
Even if the client cancelled, if the provider offered to apply the deposit to a future appointment, I personally think she should honor that commitment.
See that is what I was wondering.
Is it a deposit not used because he canceled? Was it one of those pre-paid sessions guys were doing at the beginning of COVID?
Either way; deposits just seem too messy to be bothered to deal with. For me anyways
Yes, I assume any agreement surrounding an illegal transaction would be hard to enforce. For example, could I sue my cocaine supplier for shorting a shipment ?
Hey Jenesis I did some digging into this. It's as I suspected. Their was no cancellation. The deposit was given at the beginning of COVID for a future date. I'm guessing that he felt the deposit would help her in some small financial way. I mean at the time who really knew how bad the pandemic would be or how long restrictions would last? Once the 'client felt it was safe to resume pre pandemic activities he reached out and assumed that he whatever paid would be less the deposit.
And I completely agree with you in that deposits just seem too messy.
Fd
A girl I know was hurting during the original Covid lockdown when everything was shut down. I sent her $400 as a down payment on a future date after Covid. Of course, no one knew Covid would go on for years. She briefly came back in 2021 with outdoor dates and or lots of screening, vax requirements etc, which I wasn’t interested in. She’s since retired and disappeared. I hope my donation helped.
Was he in contact with her at all over the 3 years? Or did he just contact and say “hey remember back in 2020 when I gave you that deposit, I would like my appointment now”
If there was no contact, I would assume the deposit forfeit. This is why a timeline And communication is needed.
If he kept in touch and continued to say, I am not ready but I will still have that appointment, in the future - that is a different story.
right or wrong
I did prepay with 2 SP's during covid to help them out
I had seen both a few times or many times in the case of the 1
so about 18-20 months later when things opened up & I had felt comfortable seeing SP's again, I reached out to both
Both remembered the prepaid or deposit to help them out & the 2 meetings were a nice way to get back on the saddle.
But I did it knowing that I may loose the $$$$,however I had a steady income through pensions & becuase they held a special space in my memories of the hobby I did it
But yes, deposits can & do get messy with some, as we see on this board
Oh & btw, both advt on terb & not just on LL
normally I dont do deposits

As for contact I don't know for sure but suspect "hey remember back in 2020...." I agree having some quick touchpoints along the way as you suggested would have been a wise approach.
I think your case is different in that you already established a connection and knew them both quite well. I suspect your generosity was much appreciated during those times and kudos to both as your story has a happy ending.
