Hello,
I laid tiles for a company on their order, without concluding a written contract. I always thought that an oral contract according to VOB is also valid. Now the company has withheld the 5% security deposit, but did not properly deposit it into a blocked account. A few years have passed since then. My verbal warnings have had no effect. Now I want to sue for the repayment of the security deposit. However, my lawyer says I hardly have a chance without a written contract. Has anyone had such experiences?
Thank you.
Thomas
