Just to clarify. The floor was meant to be tiled wall to wall once the old kitchen had been removed. You changed your mind and decided to tile before the kitchen was removed. I presume to save money. I was instructed to tile the floor to cover the same area as the current tiles covered, as the new kitchen would cover the exact same footprint, which I did. Upon completion of the work, after thorough inspection, you paid the invoice. Although only after complaining I hadn't reduced the price as much as you'd like given you'd removed some of the original floor tiles before I started work. You'd suggested this was to make things easier for me, you hadn't asked if it would reduce the price of the job. It wouldn't have, given my labour cost was for 2days and it would've still taken 2days. The price was reduced by the cost of materials I didn't use, which you still weren't happy with. There was no grout missing, we'd have both seen it during final inspection, it seems you've done this to create another reason why I should return to 'put it right'.
The reason I 'ignored' you was I was on holiday. Rather than give me a chance to pick up any voicemails and emails when I returned you chose to report the payment you'd made to me for the work as fraudulent and as a consequence have my bank account and overdraft frozen a week before Xmas, causing every payment/bill to fail and stopping me have access to any money. And you're playing the victim? You caused your own problem and mine!
